    Many of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.

    There are several causes leading to poor eyesight(视力)like not enough food, genes(基因)and aging(变老).Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, you'd better clean your eyes with cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also be used as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays(射线).

    Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins(维生素)A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person often exercises and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

    All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

    Last weekend John went camping with his parents and his sister, Mary. They took a tent, sleeping bags, water and food. They arrived at the campsite at about three on Saturday afternoon. First they went cycling along thelake for more than two hours. When it was getting dark, they returned and began to enjoy their dinner. Everything tasted delicious.

    Soon it was time to put up the tent. John helped Dad pull the tent out of the bag. Then, they found there were no poles (杆子) to hold it up.

    "Oh," cried John. "I forgot to bring the poles. What could we do?"

    Dad looked up at the sky. There were many stars in the sky. The night was clear and the air was warm.

    "It's OK," Dad said. "We don't even need a tent." He put the sleeping bags on the ground.

    They slept well that night. The sun was shining on them when they woke up the next morning.

    "It is my best camping trip," said John.

    We need animals. Every animal has its place in the balance(平衡)of nature. We should try to help save the animals.

    Some people think zoos are good places. The zoos give the animals the comfortable and safe living places. If the animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know the rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about the animals in the zoos by watching, listening even smelling instead of just looking at the pictures in books.

    Some people don't think animals feel happy in the zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are free and happy in the wild. If they are in the zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay in. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all.

I think we should build national parks as wild life nature reserves to protect animals. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.

    Besides the spelling of the word, there are, clearly, many differences between American and British humor.

    There is a common belief in the U.K. that Americans don't understand irony (讽刺). This is of course not true. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Irony may show up in American comedies(喜剧), but people there don't use it as much as the British do in daily life.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It actually runs in the blood of the British people. They use it as much as prepositions(介词) in everyday conversations, as a way of playing with their friends and laughing at their enemies, as well as themselves. This may sometimes make people unhappy if the listeners are not used to it.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} After Americans use irony, they will clearly say that they are "only kidding". They feel the need to make a joke clearer so that it will not make other people uncomfortable.

    Humor is tied so much to culture. American jokes are more clear and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} This may result from the fact that British culture is more reserved(矜持的) than American culture.

    However, we still find that certain American comedies have made huge success in Britain and vice versa(反之亦然). {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}We must take care of it. We should keep the land, air and water clean. Pollution(污染) is a “dirty” word.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Pollution comes in many forms. We can see it, smell it and drink it. Pollution harms our health and even our life.

    People have been polluting the Earth, such as made a fire, washed his clothes in the rivers and threw his rubbish on the ground. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious, because there were not so many people.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}But now the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, man moved to another place. So now the whole world is slowly polluted.

    When talking about pollution, we once only meant the air pollution. Air pollution is the most dangerous now.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}We are glad that the public are paying more attention to the dangers of pollution.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A. There still was lots of clean air, land and water.

B. And more and more people are working hard to get rid of(消除) it

C. The Earth is our home.

D. but there still is water pollution and noise pollution and so on.

E. Pollution means making things dirty.
