On their own, the two are "disabled". But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China's Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and JiaWenqi! Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmentally friendly world. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding (泛滥) during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their advantages not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia earriesWenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they can't afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches (枝条) from living trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi's direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.    Though hard-working, the men don't make much money. But Wenqi says. "We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter."    Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need-a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!34.Haixia and Wenqi started working together because （   ）.A.

Write L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm(厘米) away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing. Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye.
