If you are writing or studying, it makes much difference where the light comes from. People who use books and pens every day have to be especially careful about the way the light shines on their work.
Every house gets its light either from daylight through the windows or from lamps; but no matter what kind of light it is, the way it shines towards our book or work is important to the eyes. Take a book, sit with your back towards the window, and try to read. Your shadow falls across the page and makes it bad for your eyes as if (好像) you were in a dark room.
Now turn around and face the window. The page is in the shadow again, while the bright light is in your eyes.
Try sitting with your right side towards the window. This is very good for reading, but if you are writing, the shadow of your hand will fall across the page and bother (打扰) you a little. There is one other way: sit with your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for reading and for writing too.
Whatever kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is always the same.
( ) 51. Which of the following is TRUE? A. How the light shines on our work is important.
B. The way the light shines on your work makes no difference. C. We needn't care about where the light comes from.
D. People can write or study under a light that comes from any direction. ( ) 52. Why should NOT you sit with your back towards the window? A. Because the light is too dark. B. Because the light is bad for your eyes.
C. Because your shadow can make you feel yourself in a dark room. D. Because you can't see anything.
( ) 53. When you sit with your face towards the window,______. A. you can't see the light B. your book is in a shadow C. the light in the room is still dark D. the light is on your page
( ) 54. The best way both for reading and for writing is to_______. A. sit facing the light
B. let the light shine from your back C. sit with your right side towards the light D. sit with your left side towards the window ( ) 55. What is the main idea of the passage? A.
