The poor in India have limited access to primary eye healthcare and often do not eat foods rich in micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in maintaining good eye health.Many people worldwide are not even aware that they may have a vision (视力) problem simply because they do not get their eyes tested every year with a doctor, who tests for the functioning of the eye muscles (肌肉), as well as mon diseases like night blindness. This exam is strongly remended by experts because some changes in vision, which the patient may take longer to notice, can be found easily in this way.Certain simple changes in diet and lifestyle can ensure better eye health for you. These include drinking plenty-of water, not smoking, and eating brightly colored and leafy fruit and vegetables. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun, which damages otherwise healthy eyes. Learn about your familys eye disease history, and be on the lookout for any problem about your vision.

If you or a loved one needs to cure blindness or other eye diseases, turn to a crowdfunding (众筹) platform.

But not every public figure seems to find it so tough to say that powerful five-letter word.In recent days public figures, from politicians to stars, have all publicly expressed remorse. But with so much remorse, how can we tell a forced apology from a heartfelt expression of remorse?Specifically, saying sorry should be a realization that something you have said or done has hurt someone and you want to make amends (弥补). People want the response to be personal to them. They want to feel that theyre being listened to and taken seriously, says Martin Stone.Firstly, it is important to show that you understand. It is vital that any group or a person making an apology understands the focus is it sorry for the way its acted or is it sorry that the plainant feels the way they do? Watch out for the speed of response. The quicker the apology es, the better it indicates that the person making it has felt an immediate sense of guilt.If sincere, the person making the apology will be looking for clues (线索) to see if he or she is being understood, such as eye contact and facial expressions. Performed apologies always have a sense of being acted out, and are often acpanied by too many unnatural gestures.For a sincere apology, it is also important to avoid promises that cant be kept. Dont say that youll make sure that this will not happen again if youre not confident that it wont. It could e back to bite you. And do remember that the use of but can hugely change the tone (语气) of an apology. As Stone points out, Im sorry but. sounds like you are making excuses and arent actually taking any form of responsibility.32.What is the purpose of the text?A. To explain what a good apology is. B. To discuss how to give a formal apology.C. To show why we should apologize in life.D. To teach us how to tell if an apology is sincere:33.What does the underlined word remorse probably mean? A. Pain.B. Worry.C. Regret. D. Doubt.34.Which of the following indicates its a performed apology? A. Swearing it will not happen again. B. Avoiding eye contact with the listener. C. Showing you understand his/her feelings. D. Paying attention to the listeners reaction.35.What is stressed in the last paragraph? A. The attitude. B. The tone of voice. C. The body language. D. The choice of language.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Every person has goals in life.
