Recently, the decision to include eyesight as part of high school entrance exam has caused a heated discussion. Students in the city of Changzhi, Shanxi province will be tested on their"physical health", including eyesight. Those who fail to meet the requirement of "normal" eyesight will not get the full five points in their high school entrance exam, which decides if students can get accepted by the high school of their choice."In recent years, I have noticed that the No.1 problem that needs attention is poor eyesight. What makes this so terrible is that these students don't wear glasses. They even hate to say they have this problem, because they seem greatly ashamed. But how can you learn if you can't see well?" says Alexander, an American teacher in China.However, not everyone holds the same view. Some believe that environmental problems can influence the eyesight. Eye illnesses, accidental injury（受伤）and improper use of eyes can also cause poor eyesight. Each of these should be considered before making this decision. It seems unfair, not well considered and may fail to reach the goal.Here is what I think. First, why some students have shortsightedness is that their parents have it. Second, some being shortsighted is most probably a result of hard work. If those whowork hard get lower scores than those who do not, tell me wherefairness is? Third, rich families can afford expensive treatment of shortsightedness while common family cannot. I just feel so sad for students nowadays, for they are already under such heavy stress from the competitive environment.【小题1】Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4 【小题4】The best title of this passage is ________________ A．Eyesight test has become more important in high school entranceexam.B．It's a great idea to include eyesight in high school entrance exam.C．Should eyesight be included in high school entrance exam?
