Question

    There are actually three common types of pink eye (红眼病), medically known as conjunctivitis (结膜炎). Two-viral and bacterial-can spread from person to person. The third, allergic, involves your surrounding environment.

How does pink eye start? An infected person touches his or her eyes, then touches something else. If you touch that person or object and then your eyes, you can contract the same infection. That includes shaking hands, sharing towels or pillows, or even papers if you work in an office job. So when it comes to how to get pink eye, not washing your hands-and frequently touching your face-can both play a big role. Pink eye can also spread when you use old makeup or share makeup. In fact, if someone in your household develops bacterial or viral conjunctivitis, replace or at least wash everything you can, including sheets, towels, taps, and other bathroom equipment.

Contact lens (隐形眼镜) is another common way to develop bacterial conjunctivitis. Always wash and dry your hands before handling your contacts. Use the solution and storage methods recommended by your eye doctor. All these steps become even more important if someone in your household already has pink eye. If you do develop conjunctivitis yourself, take your contacts out and throw them away. Wear glasses until your doctor gives you the OK to put your lenses back in. And clean your glasses frequently too. When it’s time to wear contacts again, start with a new pair.

Unlike bacterial and viral conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis is caused by something in your surrounding environment. You might develop symptoms during allergy season in the spring or fall, caused by the same flowers or trees that cause hay fever. This adds the difficulties to the prevention of conjunctivitis.

While not every case of pink eye requires medical treatment, doctor recommends that anyone with a sudden start of these symptoms see a doctor. Some cases can turn serious, and symptoms can be similar to those of other vision-threatening eye conditions

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了红眼病的种类、传播途径以及几种预防的方法。

1.推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍的是红眼病的种类、传播途径以及几种预防的方法，这个话题属于健康范畴，因此最有可能出自健康杂志，故B项正确。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“An infected person touches his or her eyes, then touches something else. If you touch that person or object and then your eyes, you can contract the same infection.”可知，红眼病患者摸完自己的眼睛后再触摸其他东西，如果你摸了那个患者或者他碰过的东西后揉眼睛，你也会得红眼病，由此可知，红眼病的主要传播途径是接触传染，所以与红眼病人隔离可以预防红眼病，故D项正确。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If you do develop conjunctivitis yourself, take your contacts out and throw them away.”及“When it’s time to wear contacts again, start with a new pair.”可知，红眼病患者痊愈之后，要把原来使用的隐形眼镜扔掉，然后换副新的，故A项正确。

4.细节理解题。根据最后一段“While not every case of pink eye requires medical treatment, doctor recommends that anyone with a sudden start of these symptoms see a doctor. Some cases can turn serious, and symptoms can be similar to those of other vision-threatening eye conditions”可知，尽管并不是所有的红眼病例都需要医学治疗，但医生建议，任何突然出现这些症状的人都应该去看医生，因为有些病例会变得严重，症状可能与其他威胁视力的眼部疾病相似，故C项正确。
