An organization,Eye Care 4 Kids,is bringing much-needed eye care to poor kids.It provides free eye examinations for kids from poor families.Founded by Joseph Carbone in 2001,the organization has helped around 100,000 children in Utah and Nevada.
Now,Cecil Swyers,a biomedical engineer who was once a poor child himself,is bringing the charity’s services to poor students in Arizona,so that vision impairment（视力受损）doesn’t stand in the way of their education.
“Eye Care 4 Kids is bringing eye care and glasses to families that wouldn’t have the means to pay for them,” said Mario Ventura from Isaac Elementary School District,the first school district in Arizona to receive its services.
Good vision is important to a child’s learning experience.According to a study,up to 80 percent of learning happens through sight for children between 6 and 18 years old.Without proper eye care,it’s difficult for students to learn better and succeed.
Swyers is hoping that by bringing the organization to Arizona he’ll help a lot more students.He teamed up with two other organizations to get doctors to volunteer their time with the group.Using Eye Care 4 Kids mobile clinic,Swyers visited Alta E.Butler Elementary School and has already helped 40 students.
The school was grateful to receive the eye care,especially since the services came to them.“It’s is great for us,” said Assistant Pricipal Cindy Alonso.
Swyers is hoping to bring Eye Care 4 Kids’ services to other schools in the state.He said that hopefully his work will have a positive effect on students’ futures.“If we can help students while they’re young,we can make a difference in their futures,” he said.

Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, or surf the Internet, we’ll be surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
What’s more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. And they can indirectly harm our bodies because taking them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.
1.What does “gain comes without pain” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Losing weight is effortless. B. It costs a lot to lose weight
C. Diet products are free of fat. D. Diet products cause no pain.
2.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. Diet products are cheap and healthy.
B. People enjoy paying for diet products.
C. Diet products are misleading people.
D. People are surrounded by “diet”.
3.Which is true about “psychological effect of diet products”？
A. People would hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.
B. People would pay more attention to their daily diet.
C. People would care about results instead of efforts.
D. People would try out varieties of diet products.
4.Why would diet products indirectly harm people physically?
A. Because they are over-consumed.
B. Because they lack chemicals.
C. Because they provide too much fat.
D. Because they lack basic nutrients.
