In a school some trouble was caused by the students. They are very naughty and didn’t obey the school rules.They often fought with each other and they didn’t forgive each other. One day a new teacher came to this school. When he heard that, he came up with a good idea.

He told each of his students to bring a clear plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn’t want to forgive in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person’s name on it, and put it in the plastic bag.

Some of their bags were very heavy. They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus, and next to their desk at school. Days of carrying the bags around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. And they had to pay attention to it all the time so they didn’t forget it or leave it in embarrassing (令人難堪的) places. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty.

Too often we think of tolerance as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred (仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives. After that, the students got on well with each other and didn’t fight anymore. Learn to forgive , and you will be happier at the same time.

It seems to be strange to you that there is a blind spot (盲點(diǎn))on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment (實(shí)驗(yàn)) that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.

Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.

Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eyes. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.

1.The writer of the passage thinks that ________ there is a blind spot on the eyes.

A．few people know

B．no one knows

C．most people know

D．a(chǎn)ll the people know

2.The word “disappear” in the passage means ________ in Chinese.

A．出現(xiàn)             B．遠(yuǎn)離             C．消失             D．靠近

3.You fail to see the letter L in the experiment because ________.

A．your eyes are poor

B．its image falls on the blind spot

C．your left eye is not open

D．you move it close to your eye

4.In which order (順序) should you do the experiment?

⑤Look at the letter R

⑥Make a card

A．④⑥①②③⑤                         B．①③⑥④⑤②
