His early intentions were forgotten.Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriendAlicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the,
competition. He even helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with the waythings had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia's and it was able to bounce a ballwith its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.
On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw himamong the competitors. She stared at him,puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helpless-ness came over her.
The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel's face. The robot had performed actions sounique and different that the specialists' judgments were the same.

There are many commonly held beliefs about eyeglasses and eyesight that are not proven facts.For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evi-dence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing thewrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but chil-dren can develop loss of vision if they have the wrong glasses.
We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believethat reading in dim light causes pool eyesight, but that is unique. Too little light makes the eyes workharder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, andwatching too much television. But, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does notpermanently damage eyesight.
Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another.There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain,~d as if yet it is im-possible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye--the cornea and the reti-na-can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some-day a full transplant may be possible!

A.different types of eyeglasses B.a visit to the eye doctor

Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probablycame up in Egypt or Persia some 2,500 years ago. Major Walter Wingfield thought that somethinglike court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his newgame, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly,but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and log-ical term "lawn tennis".
By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda,and in the early months ofthat year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with herthe equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out acourt on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club,and there,in the spring of 1874,Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.
And just two years later,in 1876,the first United States lawn tennis tournament竞标赛was held--at Nahant near Boston.
