In earlier days few people read Whitman’s poems. One person who did read them was Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was then a country lawyer. He loved the strength and honesty of Whitman’s words. He often read them to visitors in his office. Whitman didn’t know Lincoln, but he wrote a long article about slavery and presidency. Whitman was against slavery. He wanted to see a new kind of president, not a professional politician, but an ordinary working man. This man would be wise, healthy and middle-aged. He would have a beard.

Suppose you are reading a book. Suppose, too, you suddenly close your eyes. Can you still see the book?“Of course not,”you will say. But can you tell why? You would probably say,“When I close my eyes, my eyesight cannot get out of my eyes to get to the book.”But this explanation is wrong.
You cannot see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a light lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous body. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is nonluminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in your direction. So moonlight is only secondhand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you couldn’t see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380,000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
81.You can’t see the book when you close your eyes, because .
A. your eyes are too close to it B. closed eyes are out of sight
C. your eyesight cannot get to it D. light from it cannot get into your eyes
82.The word“luminous”means .
A. invisible B. lighted C. giving off light D. sunlight
83. have light of their own.
A. The sun and the moon B. The stars and the earth
C. The sun and the stars D. The moon and the earth
84.Light travels about kilometers per second.
A.380,000 B. 300,000 C. 400,000 D.190.000
85.Which one is TRUE?
A. All the things you can see give off light.
B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
D. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.
