根据下面资料,回答题 It was not exactly a perfect night in Washington for Fourth of July fireworks this year, when fog and rain blanketed the sky and made the Independence Day show from the National Mall less impressive than usual to those who had staked out a spot nearby. But if you had tuned in on Monday to watch the fireworks on PBS or watched it on your cell phone, you might have figured the sky was cloudless and the fireworks were crystal clear. You might also have wondered if someone had removed the scaffolding that has been on the Capitol dome for two years. But many eagle-eyed viewers suspected something was not quite right, and PBS later admitted as much: It had spliced in firework footage from previous years with live shots. The show did not inform viewers that they were watching a highlight reel of past colorful explosions. But "Seinfeld" reruns are one thing; fireworks reruns are quite another. And angry viewers vented. "Because this year′ s fireworks were difficult to see due to the weather, we made the decision to intercut fireworks footage from previous A Capitol Fourth concerts for the best possible television viewing experience," the show′s organizers said Tuesday in a statement. "We apologize for any confusion this may have caused." One Twitter user said it "could have been announced at the time", while another called it "a deceptive thing to do." A PBS Twitter account cast the decision as "the patriotic thing to do," but viewers were not convinced. Which of the following is NOT the reasons why viewers suspected something was not right about the fireworks show on PBS 查看材料A.The weather on screen was too good.B.The fireworks were too clear.C.The scaffolding on the Capitol dome disappeared.D.The fireworks lasted for such a long time.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes,Everything else seems blurry(=unclear).Many people who do a lot of work,such as writing,reading and sewing become near-sighted.People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away,but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading,they must get glasses,too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism. This,too,can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now,however,it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself,look at an object out of one eye;Then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.People who suffer from astigmatism have______.A.a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationB.eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC.an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glassesD.one eye bigger than the other
