　　After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?

　　That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What's worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.

　　However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part ¬time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.

　　In my room, Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.

　　True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.

　　A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her, she did not know she was going to make it and want to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.

　　Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen, He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last

　　he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

　　The daughter impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them on a plate. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a glass. Turning to her he asked," Darling, what do you see?" "Carrots, eggs, and coffee." she replied.

　　He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots, she did and noted that they were soft .He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted it.

　　"What does it mean, Father?" she asked. He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it’s softened and weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior***內部***, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique; however, after they were in the boiling water, they changed the water.

　　"Which are you?" he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your door in your life, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

　　Most of us spend our lives exploring the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. But our children are growing up with nature deprived ***剝奪***. I spent my boyhood climbing trees, catching butterflies, collecting stones in the stream. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

　　The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed ***接近*** for ADHD ***多動症*** . Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice natural view improved just 4% . ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

　　The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behavior are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

　　We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.

　　12. Children lose chances to get close to nature for the following reasons except that_____.

　　C. Climbing trees will certainly do good to the children.

　　D. Contact with nature can greatly help people with their physical condition.

　　14. What is the benefit that people can get when they contact with nature?

　　A. Children with ADHD can be cured.

　　B. A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.

　　C. Children's performance at school can be greatly improved.

　　D. Problems of crime and violent behavior will be solved easily.

　　15. What is the passage mainly about?
