Look at the center circles(中心圆) of picture A and picture B. Which of the center circles looks larger? Take a first look and you probably think that the center circle in picture A is smaller than that in picture B. In fact, they are exactly the same size.
Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces? Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.
“What's happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may ask yourself. Don't worry. Here is how it goes: When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret(解读) the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it visual illusion(视觉错误).
Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the things around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park(《侏罗纪公园》)and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids(《亲爱的，我把孩子变小了》) just make use of illusions.

Drink water, please. Water is very important to our body. It keeps us healthy. We get water from drink and food, especially（特别是）from fruit and vegetables. But it’s better to drink water. If you don’t like plain（清淡的）water, you can put a little 100% fruit juice into it.

9 . A farmer lost an expensive gold watch in the barn(谷仓) on the farm. He looked for it everywhere but couldn’t find it. So he put a notice on the gate of the farm: Whoever finds the gold watch will get 100 dollars from me. People tried their best to look for the watch in order to get the money. However, the barn was too large and the straw(草) in the barn was too thick. It was getting dark and they were still unable to find it, so they gave up the 100 dollars one by one.
But only a small boy still kept on looking for it. He had nothing to eat the whole day. To solve the family problem, he hoped to find the gold watch and let parents, brothers and sisters have a full meal.
The night was already getting late, the boy was also tired. He was lying in the straw to have a rest when he heard a strange “tick-tick”. He held his breath at once, listened carefully, and followed the sound. He found the watch and got the 100 dollars.
Like the gold watch in the barn, success(成功) is around us in our lives. Only when we keep on looking for it, we can find it.

10 . Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women have jobs are healthier than housewives.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss(丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses.
Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.
