Some people like to collect stamps. Others prefer posters or coins. But Pinky Bhutia is

different. She collects children. In her mountain village, in Sikkim, she is known as the

wonderful young woman who adopts(

领养

) all the children she can.

Pinky was 14 when she adopted her first child, a Nepali baby girl, whose patents passed away.

Pinky’s parents did not mind. Pinky left s

chool and started working full time because she had

a baby to feed. Today , she has twelve adopted children, and two sons from her marriage.

Pinky is about 30 years old and she comes from a common family. If you passed her on the

street, you wouldn’t give

her a second look. She lives in a brown mud-washed(

泥刷的

) house.

There is a vegetable garden outside. Red hens with noisy chicks run all over the garden

looking for food.

If you ask her why she provides a home to so many kids, she smiles shyly. But her eyes are

serious. “I know what it is to

be poor and hungry.” As a child, her only dream was to eat a

full meal, and her favorite amusement was watching people with shoes and imagining what it

felt like. By adopting poor and homeless children she is making sure that they never feel that

hopeless.

Pinky feels very proud when she sees her children happy and bright, Her oldest baby, Aarita

Rai, is now 20 years old, Then, there is

19-year-old Nimbe who came to Pinky because her

mother was unable to look after her. She started to work in a government office two years ago.

Ten- year-old Bhim and 14-year-

old Kumar came to Pinky five years ago, after their father’s

death. They started living on a patch of land given by Pinky and grew vegetables for sale.

“I like children. It’s not one more mouth to feed but one more soul saved,” Pinky says.

Just a few years ago

，

it was considered impolite behavior for a

．

Customs also differ from country to country

Does a man walk on the left or the right of a

woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use

both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap

or on the table?

The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large

number of social customs

．

For example

，

in both America and England people shake hands

when they meet each other for the first time

．

Also Englishmen will open a door for a woman

or offer their seat to a woman

，

and so will most Americans. While waiting in line, Englishmen

will never push their way to the front. Neither do Americans. Promptness is important both in

England and in America

．

，

if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock

，

the dinner guest either

arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay

If your mother told you to eat carrots so you’d be able to see in the dark, she was right. It

turns out that feeding kids carrots is just one of a number of things to keep eyes healthy. Other

things include regular eye exams, and sunglasses or hats are also very helpful, experts say.

While eye disease is sometimes hereditary(

遗传的

), some are still preventable

（可预防的）

,

said Dr. Ron Weber, an Atlanta-based ophthalmologist. For example,

nearsightedness, “not

only has a genetic(

基因的

) component but is also influenced by how kids use their eyes

during childhood,” he told Reuters Health by phone.

He said that extended close work, such as reading, has long been thought to cause

nearsightedness. Recent support has come from a study in which people with a higher level of

education were more likely to have nearsightedness, because they spend more time reading or

working on computers. Another study showed that children who spend more time outdoors

are less likely to become nearsighted.

But these findings don’t mean kids should be stopped from reading or working on the

computer. Instead, Weber suggests, make sure a child’s environment is bright enough while

they are doing close work. Parents should also help kids get into the habit of holding their

reading material at the perfect distance

–

about 18 to 22 inches, he said. Finally, taking a

break every five minutes or so, to let the eyes relax and focus on an object in the distance,

will also help.

One of the most important things a parent can do to help____eye disease and vision problems

is to make sure their child gets regular eye exams, beginning early in life. “The majority of

vision problems in children are preventable and treatable,” said Dr. Ida C

hung.

27

．

What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?

A

．

It is important to keep your eyes healthy.

B

．

People seldom pay attention to eye health.

C

．

It is necessary to give your kids carrots.

D

．

All the eye disease are hereditary.

28

．

Which one is good for our eye health according to the third paragraph?

A

．

Spend more reading on computers.

B

．

Spend more time indoors.

C

．

Spend more time doing outdoor activities.

D

．

Spend more time working on computers.

29

．

The underlined part in the last paragraph means__________.

A

．

treat

B

．

stop

C

．

cover

D

．
