If you look in a mirror, you can see tiny holes in the corners of your eyes. Each hole leads to a small tube that runs to your nose. Tears run slowly into this tube drip by drip. Day and night the holes drain(流走) the tears away. If they didn't, you would always look as if you were crying.

again. Now more and more Chinese people are choosing bikes instead of cars to make short journeys in cities.

(2018·河北中考改编)Once there was a king and his daughter. The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer made the king very happy. Salt is a simple thing, but it is very important. So the king thought his daughter cared a lot about him.
Salt has many uses. Bodies need salt. If we don't have enough, our bodies can't work properly. We put salt on icy roads to make them safe. But for many years, salt's most important job was to protect food. Like other living things, most bacteria(细菌) need water to live. Salt takes in lots of water, so most bacteria(细菌) cannot live in a
salty environment. As a result, salt protects food and many other things. And because of this, salt is valuable. Every ancient culture from Egypt(埃及) to China depended on salt.
For centuries, salt was very useful but not easy to get, so it was very expensive. Salt could even be used like money. Today, salt is used more widely and it still plays an important role in our lives.
1．The king was happy with his daughter's answer. 2．If we don't have enough salt, we will still stay healthy. 3．The most important use of salt was to cook food. 4．Salt didn't use to be easy to get, so it was not cheap today. 5．Salt isn't used as widely as before. 类型三：七选五还原型
