When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.

People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.

People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty 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. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.

  Dear Roni,

  Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.

  The country near Florence is so beautiful-h(huán)ills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋頂) of the houses look so nice far away.

  I am afraid I am getting bigger-the food here is so delicious!

Love,

Akemi

  Hi Roni,

  I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?

  I spend each morning on the beach(海灘) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.

  One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.

  How I miss you!

Mari

  Dear Roni,

  Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!

  Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.

  I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.

  And when we find something green--a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.

  See you in September,

Kim

任務(wù)型閱讀。
假設(shè)你是餐館的經(jīng)理Mr Price,讀了顧客Raymond Yuen 寫給你的投訴信。現(xiàn)給他回一封email,
對他的投訴作出回應(yīng)。下面是投訴信原文:
An e-mail to complain
Here is an e-mail with a complaint from
An unhappy customer in Canada.
To:                           manager@tastytreat.com.ca
Date:                        Monday, 7 October, 3.34p.m.
From:                       raymondyuen@canada.net
Subject:                    Complaint
Dear Mr Price,
     I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This
makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.
     It was my son's birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7.30p.m. We arrived
on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8.00p.m.,we were given a table in the smoking
section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it
was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
     Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our
food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found
a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress
told us it was a piece of garlic (蒜). When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized (道歉)
and took the food away. We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife's meal. Nobody came.
After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I
complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn't believe my
story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was made to pay.
     The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology (道歉) from your impolite head
waiter and a full refund (退款) for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant
or recommending (推薦) it to anyone.
     You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.
     Thank you for your attention. 
                                                                                                                                Yours sincerely 
                                                                                                                                 Raymond Yuen
現(xiàn)在電子郵件已基本為你寫好。請你仔細閱讀上面的投訴信,然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容在橫線上填上恰當
的單詞,每條橫線不準超過5個單詞。
Dear Mr Yuen,
     I have received and read your complaining letter. First of all, I would like to (1)              to you. I'm
sorry we have brought you so much unpleasure.In fact I wasn't at my restaurant when you last came to
have dinner here. I believe (2)              in the email is true. I think my head waiter (3)             . He shouldn't
treat you like that. I have decided to invite your family to have a dinner for free at my restaurant as soon as
possible. I will give you back the (4)             . I'll also tell the head waiter to say sorry to you when you
come. I will give a nice present to your son as his birthday present although his birthday has passed. I hope
you will eat at my restaurant as usual and (5)             your friends. 
     Please contact me if you have time. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family at my restaurant.
Thank you for your support.
                                                                                                                                   Yours Sincerely
