Sensitive
When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted(近视的`) suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm‘s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people‘s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colours become fainter to the eye and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn you head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they cannot see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive(敏感的) in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eyes after dark.

Expensive oil
For years and years people have been saying that the rail ways are dead. ―We can do without railways‖, people say as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that they‘re dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place. They are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn‘t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn‘t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive, Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of superfast trains(超速列车), trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can‘t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can‘t fly in for the same reason.

答案：BDCDA
profession
It would be pleasant to believe that all young girls in the past got married for romantic reasons; but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to gain independence from their parents, to have a provider, or to be assured of a good place in society. A couple of generations ago, an old maid of twenty-five did not have much to look forward to, she was more or less fated to remain with her parents or to live in some relative‘s home where she would help with the chores and the children. Not so any more. In the first place, women remain young much longer than they used to, and an unmarried woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over. Besides, since she is probably working and supporting herself, she is free to marry only when and if she chooses. As a result, today‘s women tend(倾向) to marry later in life. They have fewer children-or none at all- if they prefer to devote themselves to their profession. The result is a decline in the birthrate.
The new role that women have developed for themselves has changed family life. Children are raised differently; they spend more time with adults who are not their parents: baby sitters, day-care center personnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or lose in the process is a hotly debated question. Some child experts believe that young children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind. Others think that children get more from a mother who spends with them ―quality time‖ (a time of fun and relaxation set aside for them)rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby sitting. And many child psychologists point out that children kept in day-care centers every day are brighter than those raised at home. No matter what it is, one thing about child raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better.
1.It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A. women today have developed a new role in family life
B. the birthrate is declining as a result of women‘s pursuit(追求) of careers C. women have always been dependent on their parents even after marriage D. children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound
2.The change in women‘s attitude towards marriage results in all of the following EXCEPT______.
A. more and more women quit(leave) jobs to take care of their children at home B. women today tend to marry later than they did C. women have less time to raise children D. more and more families remain childless
3.People have different opinions over the question as to______.
A. how children should be raised B. where children should be raised
C. whether children should stay with their parents D. how long children should stay with their parents 4.The author suggests that______.
A. working women should not have children
B. children should be kept in day-care centers all the time
C. young children should stay with their mother as long as possible D. women should leave their work to look after their children at home
