Aging and health problems play a role in sunken eyes but other factors can contribute, so it may affect younger people as well. Dehydration（脱水）The most common cause of sunken eyes is dehydration, or not having enough water in the body. Consuming too much coffee, soda, and prepackaged drinks may increase production of urine(尿液), which may lead to dehydration. Vitamin shortagesShortages of vitamin C, vitamin K, and iron can cause eyes to become sunken. Vitamin C helps with absorbing iron and decreasing bruising(瘀斑), while vitamin K is responsible for blood thickening, causing unhealthy skin. Easy bruising and unhealthy skin will result in sunken eyes. Weight lossMost people tend to lose weight in their face first. Sometimes, the weight loss is sudden enough to make blood vessels(血管)below the eyes easy to see, and the skin clear, producing the appearance of sunken eyes. Sudden weight loss may also cause nutritional shortages, which can lead to sunken eyes. Not enough sleep or poor quality sleep can cause sunken eyes and a persons DNA or the habit of smoking can also contribute to sunken eyes. Most cases of sunken eyes relate to the quality of an individuals nutrition and healthy living. When these causes are corrected, sunken eyes can be resolved without further treatment. This means that causes can be avoided or treated in good time to prevent the recurrence of sunken eyes. 1. What can we do to prevent dehydration according to the text?A. Refuse coffee. B. Drink more water. C. Say no to soft drinks. D. Have certain drinks less. 2. What will lead to bruising below the eyes?A. Lack of vitamin K. B. Water shortages. C. Lack of vitamin C. D.

Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again, making another invention.Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes, the noise changed.I sat at the edge of my bed and listened.Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep.I started dozing off, dangerously leaning to the left, when the ticking stopped.It was now replaced by a buzz, similar to the noise coming from a beehive in midsummer, only louder. I shivered.I'm allergic to bees! Even just thinking about it or hearing a beelike sound makes me swell.“That's it！” I shouted, now wide awake, “I can't take it anymore！” I marched to the next apartment and knocked.My neighbor immediately opened the door. His curly brown hair tumbled every which way. He wore baggy striped pants and a loose raspberry shirt. “Hi, Lucy! What's up？” he asked.I pointed at my noiseless watch. “Do you know what time it is？”He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece. “Oh, my God! I didn't realize it was that late. I'm busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia (失眠). It's almost finished.You want to see it？”I should have known.

DHer neighbor's silence.5What was Charlie doing?AHe was inventing a wristwatch. BHe was working with bees.CHe was making a new machine. DHe was fixing a broken clock.6How did Charlie
