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.

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.Main itemsContext_1_universityu It is 2 to choose only one or two universities to apply to. Choosing more universities can add to(增加) the 3_of being admitted to by one of them.Applying for universityu Fill in an application form for 4 university, with your teachers reference letters.u Take 5 in the proper tests according to the university you have chosen. 6 for educationu Apply for the loans 7 by the government, which can be repaid after graduation.u Scholarships can be given to those 8_ have excellent grades, etc.u Find part-time 9 while at university.Attending classesu There are fewer classes in university than at high school.u The 10 of the students in each class is also larger in university than at high school. Sometime it can have 200 students.七、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空限一词。（10分） UNICEF works all over the world.
