Look after your eyes
The eye is undoubtedly one of the greatest organs in our body. It is actually like a camera working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The eye pictures of the world around us and transfers these pictures our brain. Then the brain works out what it is that our eyes see.
As this happens from the moment we open our eyes in the morning to when we close them at night, most of us take our vision for granted, giving little thought to the complex processes that us to see, until one day we realize we may have an eye problem.
At middle age, several eye conditions are becoming more and more and by the age of 50 most people have that they cannot see as well as they once could. They may become near-sighted or far-sighted. People who are near-sighted can't see things far away while people who are far-sighted can't see things -up. Most of these problems can be corrected with glasses but some of them may need surgery.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
In the past, traveling was nothing less than a dangerous adventure. People had no means of transport as they have now. They faced all sorts of danger such as bad weather, wild beasts, and robbers. Therefore, most people did not like to go away from their villages. Only those who were adventurous set out on a long journey.
When a man succeeded in training the four-foot animals like the horse and the camel, traveling became fairly comfortable. A trip across country was still a dangerous undertaking. In those days, it was also very difficult to transport goods from one place to another. Man carried his load on his head or back. Later, horses and other animals were used for this purpose. But man and animals could not carry very heavy loads from one place to another.
Now people living in any part of a country can travel to any other part in comfort. Every country sets up a railway network. A small sum of money is required to go from one corner of the country to another. If your business is more urgent, you can travel by airplane. A plane will need only a couple of days to fly around the whole world. Traveling by sea has also become swifter, more comfortable, and secure than before.
According to the writers, lack of money also makes it difficult for people to travel in the past.
People in the past were still not able to transport very heavy loads with the help of animals.
Nowadays, people can only travel by train in certain countries.
Traveling by sea now is quicker but still unsafe.
