9、ne of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well. He later

10、informed me that I was “ not athletic ”.The idea that I was “ not athletic ” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A

11、test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I

16、ess.D. Oneisnevertoooldtolearn.CHave you wondered why you have two eyes and why they are set close together on the front of your face? The reasons are simple and important. Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image（影像）of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you loo

17、k at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain puts them togeth

18、er and you see a single image in the centre. Seeing in stereo means seeing with two eyes working together, which is called stereoscopic(立体的) sight. This allows you to see the world in 3-D. If images are coming from only one eye, however, height and widthcan be perceived(感知). So if you see with one e

19、ye, you will get a 2-D image, as in a photograph. Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular(双目并用的) sight. On

20、the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360-degree field of sight. However, they dont have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is. With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share

21、 the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be

22、 glad for the eyesight that you have.8. According to the passage, an eye is like a camera because both_A. can record images. B. can imagine objects.C. provide wrong images. D. work at the same speed.9. Stereoscopic sight is a result of having _.A. a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of sight B. hundr

23、eds of eyes, all seeing tiny parts of an image C. two eyes close to each other that work together D. one eye on either side of the head, each seeing a different image 10. Which of the following is true according the passage?A. The function of the camera is complex. B. With stereoscopic sight, humans

24、 can see the world in 3-D. C. Humans should realize the importance of eyes. D. Humans and animals have the same sight.11. What can be inferred from the underlined sentences in the last paragraph ?A. Only humans can judge how far it is from other objects.B. It is beneficial for us to wear glasses. C.

25、 Humans have better eyesight than animals.D. It is fortunate that humans have stereoscopic sightD Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage

26、trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one ofSteins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film(薄膜) plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of

27、 cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited(禁止) in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists likeSteintomake the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among th

28、e bag makers arguments: many cities with bans still allow shopperstopurchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energytoproduce and transport. And while plastic bags may be uglytolook at, they represent a small percentage of allgarbageon the ground today The industry has also tak

29、en aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energytomake. One study found that a cotton bag must be used a

30、t least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Environmentalists dont dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shopperstouse the same reusable bags for years.12. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle
