However, the change was【48】______ (organ) as well as deliberate. Michael Jackson grew into his body, and out of that new body emerged wholly new ideas of what pop music, and the【49】move___it generates, were, it can be hard to remember now, 30 years later, just how ubiquitous the hits from that album, especially "Rock with "You," really were. In soul, in rock n' roll, and in pop, there is a long tradition of men singing in high voices, the height of the voice suggesting the pitch of the singer' s fervour. Michael Jackson made the sweetness of that high voice guttural and【50】______ (demand). He showed that it was rooted in his feet and hips and hands. He re-sexualized it in a way that you could never really mistake—then—as androgynous.
Very few artists—certainly very few child stars—have ever redefined themselves as thoroughly or as【51】______ (success) as Michael Jackson did. His second act was better than any number of first acts put together. The uncanny thing wasn't just his physical transformation, or his hypnotic new ability to move. It was the certainty of ''Off the Wall" and its sequel "Thriller" that this was the music we wanted to hear. He knew, too, that this was a music we wanted to【52】______ (visual) , to see formalised and set loose in dance. In a sense, he was loosing his transformation upon the rest of us , expecting us to be caught up in the【53】excite______the music caused in him, and we were.
Michael jackson came to be synonymous with transformation—ultimately, with an eerie stasis that comes from seeking transformation all the time. The alchemy of change worked longer and【54】______(well) for him—through the'80s and into the early'90s—than it has for almost any other artist. Yet somehow all the changes always take us【55】______ to the album in which Michael Jackson grew up.

It is reported that over 300 million people in China are suffering from nearsightedness(近视). As more children have got eye trouble, their parents hope to cure the disease by medicine, equipment or by correcting the way children read and sit. But in fact the care given to one's eyes should start with the exercise on one' s feet. Three methods on how to protect eyes are as follows:
Firstly, don't fasten your shoes too tightly. Try wearing loose socks or walking barefooted at home. When traveling, try wearing cloth shoes so as to make blood circulation (循环) easier.
Secondly, walking on tiptoes will help improve one's eyesight, and prevent nearsightedness. Figures show that few ballet (芭蕾舞) performers are nearsighted.
Thirdly, rope skipping also does good to one's eyesight. When skipping the rope, one has to react quickly, which excites the brain as well as the eyes. It will also help make one grow taller.
Besides foot exercises, it is good to pull one's ears. Pulling the ears 20 times is found to be an effective way to reduce the pressure on one's eyes soon.
To cure nearsightedness, people don't usually______.
A.depend on medicine
B.use equipment
C.think of foot exercises
D.pay attention to correcting the way children read and sit
