Vitamin A Is Good for Your Eyes维生素A对你眼睛有益
It was so dark outside the car window that it was hard to see anything.
“Can I have a carrot, Mum?" Riley asked.
“I don't have any carrots," her mum said. "If I eat one now, it might help me see in the dark.”
Would eating a carrot really help Riley? What is special about carrots? A clue to what makes a carrot special is its color. Carrots are orange because they store beta-carotene《β胡萝素). Beta-carotene is a way to talk about vitamin A (维生素A). Your eyes need vitamin A. It helps them work.
When light hits your eyes, very small parts inside turn the light into messages. The messages go to your brain (脑), and then you know what you're looking at. Your eyes can only turn light into messages when it has a special chemical (化学物质), That's where vitamin A comes in. Your eyes use vitamin A to make the special chemical. Every time your eyes change light into messages, a little bit of the chemical is used up. By the end of the day, you're looked at hundreds of things. That uses up a lot of the chemical. Your eyes need to make more.
What should you eat if you don't like carrots? Don't worry. Other fruits and vegetables have vitamin A, too. The secret is in their color. Most orange or red fruits store some beta-carotene, or vitamin A. Sweet potatoes, red peppers, mangoes (芒果) are a few that have the same orange secret. Can you think of any more?
1. Riley wanted a carrot because she thought _____________.21·cn·jy·com
A. she liked it B. she was thirsty
C. it could help her see in the dark D. it was sweet and delicious
2. The underlined word "clue" here in Chinese means "_____________".
A. 告知 B. 线路 C. 方法 D. 线索21·世纪*教育网
3. How can vitamin A help your eyes work?
A. The special chemical can stop your eyes from using up vitamin A.
B. Vitamin A can stop your eyes from using up the special chemical.
C. The special chemical is used to make vitamin A the light is turned into messages with.
D. Vitamin A is used up to make the special chemical the light is turned into messages with.
4. Which one is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Carrots are orange because they store some beta-carotene or vitamin A.
B. Any food which is orange or red must have some vitamin A.
C. Most fruits that are orange or red store some beta-carotene or vitamin A.
D. Sweet potatoes, red peppers, and mangoes have the same orange secret.
5. The passage mainly tells us that _____________.
A. we can't see clearly in the dark unless we eat any carrots everyday
B. we can't see clearly unless we eat any orange or red food everyday
C. we should eat some food with vitamin A so that we can see clearly
D. we should eat some fruit with beta-carotene so that we can see in the dark
思路点拨:本文话题从吃胡萝卜增添胡萝卜素,从而获得维生素A,对“明目”有益说起,进而解释光与眼晴之间的关系来说明眼睛为什么需要维生素A。当然除了胡萝卜之外,其他橘色和红色的水果和蔬菜也大多含有维生素A。
答案解析:
1.C。根据Riley所说的“If I eat one now,it might help me see in the dark”可以知道,Riley认为吃胡萝卜可以使她在黑暗中看见东西。
2.D。从上下句进行推测:上文在问carrots的什么特别之处,clue后面就说出了特别之处就是“颜色”,所以clue在这里的最佳解释是“线索”。
3.D。把倒数第二段的内容进行综合,就可以得出维持A的作用机制:眼睛利用维生素A来制造特殊的化学物质;人的眼睛利用特殊化学物质将光转变成信息时,同时将所存的化学物质耗尽了。选项D符合这一层意思。
4.B。文章中的“Most orange or red fruits store some beta-carotene,or vitamin A”表明只是绝大多数,而不是全部。
5.C。本文要说明的主要内容是:吃一些含有维生素A的食物对眼睛有好处。

It's Not Easy to Play Skateboard想玩滑板不容易
Alex turned his computer off and lay down on his bed. He grabbed the packet of chewing gum that was lying on the floor, popped (塞) one in his mouth and chewed it hard.
He was bored. Today was Saturday and Steve, his best friend, was working as the newspaper boy again. Alex turned round and noticed the new skateboard under his desk that he'd won at his last skate contest. He decided to ride it to the skate shop, because the kids there would buy it
from him immediately.
He got up, grabbed his skateboard, opened the front door and rode away. He began to think of what he could buy with the money from selling the skateboard. He thought of the rock CDs. After a while he'd sell them to his friends, and with that money, he'd be able to buy skateboarding books. He'd sell those books back to Steve, and buy a few DVDs. Later he'd sell the DVDs to his elder brother's girlfriend! He could then get the ice-skating video, sell it to his small sister and... 21*cnjy*com
He skated along, a smile on his face, thinking of all the good things when he noticed a small bench on the side of the street.

Tennis Fans Need Courtesy网球球迷要讲礼仪
For audiences(观众)at the tennis, cheering loudly is not always the right thing to do. Audiences must remember their manners when they sit around the court. So how should a courteous(有礼貌的)tennis fan act?
It is fine to applaud(为鼓掌)a nice hit, but this must be done at
the proper time. Hold applause until the end of each point. Feel free to cheer after long rallies (连续对打) and great shots (击球). But when a player begins to get ready to serve (发球), keep quiet. There should be no talking during a point.
It's all right to take photos of the players, as long as flash photography is not used. If a ball is hit into the audience, give it back to the ball boys between points.
Glass bottles and pull-ring drinks are not allowed inside the stadium. Neither are babies or posters. They can bother the players.
