It was said that a 9th-century Ethiopian goatherd accidentally discovered coffee when he found his goats became lively after they snacked on the berries of a certain unknown wild plant.

Nowadays, coffee has become a vital cash crop for many Third World countries like African and Central American countries.

(7) 99-1 共同考科. 英文. Myopia is a term generally referring to nearsighted eyes. Those with myopia see close-up objects clearly but distance vision is blurry. When one gets myopic, his cornea will turn too steep so that images of what he sees are focused in the vitreous (玻璃體的) inside the eye rather than on the retina at the back of the eye. Myopia is common and its growth may be gradual. Most commonly, myopia begins to appear gradually between the ages of 8 and 12, though it may exist at birth or start to develop as late as age 80. Myopia may be disturbing, but it is certainly not a disease. Mainstream eye care professionals most commonly correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. The corrective lenses have a negative optical power which can compensate for the excessive positive diopters (屈光度) of the myopic eye. With advanced technology, nowadays, it may also be corrected by refractive surgery, such as LASIK. 46. The word vision refers to (A) what people see (B) what people hear (C) what people feel (D) what people smell. .. 47. The main idea of the article is that . (A) myopia is not a disease at all (B) those with myopia can’t learn well at school (C) myopia is a visual problem and can be corrected in many ways (D) those with myopia need to correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses 48. The best title for the article is (A) The Workings of the Lenses (B) The Diagnoses of the Lenses (C) The Power and Effect of Myopia (D) The Cause and Correction of Myopia. .. . 49. The article suggests that (A) old people may still have chance to have the problem of myopia (B) if myopia is left uncorrected, it can cause blindness and deafness (C) anyone who suffers from myopia surely can fully recover their sight through LASIK (D) once people get myopic, they may be myopic for the rest of their life 50.
