Singapore National Eye Centre
“I could have lost my vision.
SNEC restored (恢復(fù))my sight.”
A macular hole, a hole at the most crucial part of the retina brought Bonny Huang who is from Hong Kong to the Singapore National Eye Centre for treatment. The retina is the light sensing nerve tissue at the back of the eye. In no time the potentially blinding condition was treated and his vision is now restored.
“In April 2008, I noticed straight lines started to become distorted, and white patch appeared in the centre of my vision. I went to the Singapore National Eye Centre immediately. The ophthalmologist, a medical doctor who specializes in eye care and surgery, found a central macular hole in my left eye.”
The treatment of this condition involves delicate judgment dependent on the experience of the doctor. The success of the recovery, however, relies largely on the face-down posture by the patient.
“The Ophthalmologist explained to me the operational procedures, and taught me how to comply with the post-surgery face-down posture.
The best part is that when I forgot some of the key points he told me, he showed no sign of resentment but instead comforted me not to worry before he went through the points again. I underwent an operation which lasted for only one hour, and maintained a face-down posture for three weeks. The result was very successful.”
“I once consulted my Ophthalmologist during his lunch time, and he attended to me without finishing his lunch. His understanding and concern shown towards his patients can be scarcely found in other medical centres. I am very pleased to have received timely treatment in Singapore National Eye Centre where the doctors care about their patients.”

50 senior and experienced eye surgeons, total staff strength of 460
Ultra-modern facility with state-of-the-art technology and equipment
Quality assurance programme backed by 100% clinical audit of outcomes
High impact research teams leading to latest treatment strategies
Multi-expert approach to treatment of complex eye conditions
250,000 outpatient visits, 14,000 major eye surgeries, 13,000 laser procedures annually
Singapore National Eye Centre
11 Third Hospital Avenue, Singapore 168751, International Patient Service 24-hour Hotline: 65-6100- 9393
E-mail: ips@snec.com.sg or visit www.snec.com.sg
小題1:According to this passage, the Eye Centre is ______.
A．a(chǎn) charity organization helping people solve their eye problems
B．a(chǎn)n institute focusing on eye-treatment research
C．a(chǎn) hospital specializing in eye-problem treatment and research
D．a(chǎn)n international institute treating people’s diseases
小題2:Mr. Huang’s case in the advertisement is intended to ______.
A．give people advice on how to find good doctors to treat eye diseases
B．a(chǎn)ssure people of high quality of SNEC

Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100 books to visit " to "100 books to read ".
Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins（海豚）？
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋槳).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she’d be laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20％ discount.
小題1:According to the passage, swimming with dolphins________.
A．is the world’s most popular tourist activity
B．gives fun to both tourists and dolphins
C．can cause danger to dolphins
D．will make tourists busy and tired
小題2:What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?
A．It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.
B．Queuing for hours is worthwhile.
C．Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.
D．It is not as satisfying as expected.
小題3:The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author_______.
A．thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists
B．believes other lists are not humorous enough
C．intends to persuade people to read more lists
D．wants to provide a list different from other lists
小題4:What is the main purpose of the passage?
