bles. They just differ in nature. That39。s all. And that leads me to my first belief. I believe the human race is very, very toughalmost impossible to discourage. If it wasn39。t, then why do we have such words as laugh and sing and music and dance in the language of all mankind since the beginning of recorded time? This belief makes me proud to be a human being. Next, I believe in trying to be charitable, in trying to understand and forgive people, especially in trying to forgive very keen or brilliant people. A man may be a genius, you know, but he can still do things that practically break your heart. I believe most of our very finest thoughts and many of our finest deeds must be kept to ourselves aloneat least until after we die. This used to confuse me. But now I realize that by their very nature, these finest things we do and then cannot talk about are a sort of a better life to e. I believe there is no escape from the rule of life that we must do many, many little things to acplish even just one big thing. This gives me patience when I need it most. Finally, and most important to me, I do believe in having the courage to BE YOURSELF. Or perhaps I should say. to be honest with myself. Sometimes this is practically impossible. I39。m sure I should always try. (1)Why does the writer mention his parents39。 quarrel at the beginning of the passage?

The reasons are simple and important. Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera catches an image of an object and records it on film. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. Because your eyes are set close together, they see the world from about the same height but from a little different angles. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object a bit to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to your brain, then your brain put them together and you see a single image in the center. Seeing in stereo (立體) means seeing with two eyes working tighter, which is called stereoscopic sight. This allows you to see the world in 3D. Seeing depth helps you to judge how far it is between you and the objects you see, and then adjust to the changing angle so that you can see something clearly when you move closer or farther away. If images are ing from a single eye, however, only height and width can be perceived. So if you see with one eye, you will get a 2D image, as in a photograph. Now consider why your two eyes are on the front of your face. Think of other animals just like you. They are all hunting animals, like lions and tigers. This provides a field of sight about 180 degree wide, which is called binocular sight. On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head, which provides nearly 360degree field of sight. However, they don39。t have stereoscopic sight. It is difficult for them to judge how far a danger is. With both stereoscopic and binocular sight, humans and hunting animals share the ability to see from side to side and to judge how far it is from other objects. If you think it would be great to have another kind of sight, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have.(1)In Paragraph 2, the writer wan
