Do you wear glasses? If yes, would you like to have surgery (手术) so you don't need to wear them anymore? Many believe that surgery can fix the problem forever, but that's not always the case(总是如此).
Most people wear glasses because of nearsightedness(近视). When we see things, light comes into our eyes and focuses on the retina(视网膜). But for people with nearsightedness,in their eyes, light focuses in front of the retina. This makes things far away seem blurry but close things seem clear.
Surgery can treat this. Xu Jiayi, a 19-year-old student from. Beijing, had the surgery five months ago during the winter vacation. “After the surgery I can see very clearly. Life is more convenient without havıng to wear eyeglasses,” said Xu.
However, the process(过程) is not as easy as you might think. Xu said that her eyes hurt badly right after the surgery. Also, she needed to use medicine for at least three months. “At first, there were four types of medicines, then the number became six, she said. These medicines help the eye heal(康复) and prevent eye problems.
Moreover, if you don't look after your eye health well, nearsightedness may return even after surgery. “Because I use my eyes too much both at work and at home, things have started to look blutry to me again,” snld Du Anni,32, who had the surgery nine years ago.
Instead of fixing nearsightedness, “the surgery just lets you‘take off your glasses’,” saidWei Wenbin from the Beijing Tongren Hospital in a speech in July. He said that the surgery doesn't fix the changes in the eye's structure(结构).

C. the surgery doesn't work for adults
D. patients need to protect their eyes after the surgery
17. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To draw people's attention to sight problems.
B. To explain how people become nearsighted.
C. To introduce the surgery for nearsightedness.
D. To share personal stories of eye surgery.

Be a Virtue Teenager
Teenagers are the future of our motherland. What should we do to become a virtue teenager? First of all, we should study hard at school and develop good learning habits. We should also respect our teachers and be friendly to our classmates. At home, we should help our parents with housework and communicate with them more often. In society, we should obey the rules and be kind to others. We should also protect the environment and take part in volunteer activities. When we are online, we should be careful about the information we share and not spend too much time on the Internet. In my opinion, being a virtue teenager not only means having good academic performance but also having good manners and a positive attitude towards life. Let's work together to become virtue teenagers and make our motherland a better place.
