There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.
We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.
Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. They are close to one million nerve fibers(纤维) that connect the eyeball to the brain, so it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.

试题分析:文章主要纠正了一些关于眼睛的错误观念。一些被人们普遍接受的关于戴眼镜的观念证明是不真实的。从很小的年纪就开始戴眼镜不会改变眼睛的结构。
1.But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age.”可知,没有证据能够证明从很小的年纪开始戴眼镜会改变眼睛的结构,即过早配戴眼镜不会改变眼睛的结构,故选A。
2.Wearing the wrong glasses...Studies show that for adults there is no danger”可知,成年人佩戴不合适的眼镜对他们的眼睛不会造成伤害,故选C。

The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”.Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means.She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta.The following is her story.
“I watched a video(视频) about her.I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that, after I graduated from a high school, I wanted to try her kind of work.So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people.I helped wash clothes and sheets, and passed our lunch.I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up.I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them.To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much.It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
