When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. (79) It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry (模糊的). 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 objects clearly.
People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in 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. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people olden became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
We should take good care of our eyes ______.
A.only when we can see well
B.only when we cannot see perfectly
C.even if we can see dell
D.only when we realize how important our eyes are
In most countries, a direct tax on persons, 【57】is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in【58】a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the【59】of tax grows greater as the taxpayers'【60】grows. In England, for example, the tax on the【61】people goes up as【62】as ninety-five percent!
But countries with direct taxation nearly always have【63】taxation too. Many things【64】into the country have to pay taxes or "duties".【65】, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the【66】of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer【67】If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, 【68】money is obtained, but the tax is fairer, as the【69】pay it.
Probably this last kind of indirect tax, 【70】with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement.

Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood--a poor, crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

A.Soccer is popular all over the world, but truly great players are rare.
