One possible version:
As a proverb goes, “Preparedness ensures success and unpreparedness spells failure”. It can’t be denied that good preparation is one of the essentials of success.
The first two years of my junior middle school life went so smoothly and I got so good grades in every exam that I took it for granted that I was sure to be admitted by a key high school. Thus，in my junior three, I began totally loosening myself up and no longer focused on study. It is no accident that my academic performance declined sharply. Not until the last month of my junior three did I realize it and concentrated on learning again. However, it was too late to make full preparation then— I failed in the senior high school entrance examination.
From my experience, I see that at no time should we ignore the importance of making good preparation, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts.

If you need glasses to read this, you are among the majority of Chinese students. That’s because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry. Four-fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.
This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple causes: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home, they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun.
The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing good eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. According to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do.
Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashion statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term consequences. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration(黄斑变性), a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness.
With all that in mind, don’t you think it’s time to give your eyes a break? Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park, instead. It’s the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it.
1.What does the underlined word “blurry” mean?
A. unpopular. B. unpleasant.
C. unclear. D. unconscious.
2.How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage?
A. They should study less and less.
B. They should stay longer outdoors.
C. They should wear sun-glasses.
D. They should have a longer rest in bed.
3.It can be inferred from the passage that __________ is to blame for the poor eyesight of Chinese children.
A. the ever-worsening bad weather
B. the ever-increasing burden of study
C. the ever-decreasing sunny days
D. the ever-decreasing period of study time
4.What is the purpose of this article?
A. To explain why Chinese students are poor-sighted.
B. To admire Australian children’s good eyesight.
C. To criticize the present education system.
D. To call on people to protect Chinese children’s eyesight
