Keeping the focus fresh
The expiration date on contact lens solution is the date after which the manufacturer cannot guarantee that the solution will remain stable. After that date, chemicals start to precipitate out of the solution, meaning that the active ingredients may not be effective. The solution itself does not become poisonous, stresses Barbra Kelley of Bausch & Lomb, but its decreased potency puts you at risk for eye irritation and infection. More specifically, says Anne Sumers of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, fungal or bacterial ulcers can develop, and protein buildup on the lenses can cause irritation or an allergic reaction, which could make contact lens use difficult or uncomfortable for years.
Developing after decades
A roll of film is generally good long after the expiration date, says Paul C. Allen of Eastman Kodak Co.—as long as you don't store it in a hot car or damp basement. Heat and humidity, however, cause changes to the chemical emulsion on the film that can result in color shifts, such as green-colored skin, and in decreased sharpness. But film is pretty tough stuff, Allen says. As an example, he notes the photo on the back of Kodak's annual report: A customer had just developed a roll of film that had been sitting around for 40 years. "It came out fine,” Allen says.
Don't mess with medicine
The expiration date on cold medication indicates when the medication loses 10 percent of its labeled potency—meaning it is only 90 percent as effective in unclogging stuffy noses and relieving pain. Because expired medications don't usually look different, says pharmacist Mary Lynn Moody of the University of Illinois-Chicago, taking them can lead to a false sense of security. Her advice: Don't.
After expiration date, contact lens solution______.
A.will remain stable
B.will become poisonous
C.will not be effective
D.will cause eye irritation
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: In Mr. Allen's high school class, all the students have to "get married." However, the wedding ceremonies are not real ones but imitations. These mock ceremonies sometimes become so noisy that the loud laughter drowns out the voice of the "minister." Even the two students getting married often begin to giggle.
The teacher, Mr. Allen, believes that marriage is a difficult and serious business. He wants young people to understand that there are many changes that must take place after marriage. He believes that the need for these psychological and financial adjustments should be understood before people marry.
Mr. Allen doesn't only introduce his students to major problems faced in marriage such as illness or unemployment. He also exposes them to the common problems they will face everyday. He wants to introduce young people to all the trials and tribulations that can strain a marriage to the breaking point. He even familiarizes his students with the problems of divorce and the fact that divorced men must pay child support money for their children and sometimes pay monthly alimony to their wives.
It has been unsettling for some of the students to see the problems that a married couple often faces. Until they took the course, they had not worried much about the problems of marriage. However, both students and parents feel that Mr. Allen's course is valuable and have endorsed the course publicly. Their statements and letters supporting the class have convinced the school to offer the course again.
