Wearing the wrong type of glasses will do harm to your eyes. This is not true for adults, although incorrect glasses may not be good for children under 10. Ready-made glasses, and not wearing when you should, won't do harm to your eyes, but you may see better with glasses that are specially made for you.
Watching too much television is bad for your eyes. This is not true. People with easily affected eyes may find they get red and aching from staring at a fixed distance for long periods, but there won't be any lasting effects.
Carrots will help you see in the dark. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body can change into vitamin A, too little of which can cause night blindness.

六、任务型阅读（10分）
阅读短文，根据所读内容在短文后图表中的空格里填入恰当的单词。（每空填一个单词）
Hi, everyone! I will graduate from high school in June. Some of my foreign friends have asked me about the process of entering an American university(综合性大学), so here I will tell you how it works.
First you have to choose which university you want to go to. This is not easy, as there are over 3,000 universities and colleges in the USA. Do you want to stay near home, or do you want to go far away? What do you want to study? Once you have decided what is important to you, I would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to (申请). This way, if one or two schools do not accept you, you still have a chance of being accepted by the others.
After you have chosen which schools you would like to apply to, you have to finish an application form for each one. You also need to ask two or three of your teachers to write letters to the universities explaining why you would be a good university student. For many people, the worst part of applying for university is taking tests. Depending on which college or university you want to go to, you have to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which tests your language, math and writing skills, or the American College Test (ACT), which tests your knowledge in English, math, science and history.
After you have been accepted to a university, you need to be able to pay for your study there. To help students pay for their education, the government offers loans（贷款）which students do not have to repay until after they graduate. Scholarships（奖学金）are also available to students who have excellent grades, who are good players or who have financial（财政）needs. Because university tuition is so expensive, many students also work part-time while they are at university.
University courses are quite different from classes at high school. You only go to each class two or three times a week, you have to study a lot more outside of class. Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them.There will be many new things to learn, but I think I will enjoy university.
