第二部分 閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)
(共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。
A
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions e very time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to trave lers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, ‘Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite, They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
21. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________
A. describe the place carefully B. show him a map of the place
C. refer to recognizable buildings and places D. tell him the names of the streets
22. What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. Los Angeles. B. New York. C. Kansas. D. Iowa.
23. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________
A. in order to save time B. so as to be polite C. as a test D. for fun
B
The 14-year-old, Amit Dodani, a talented speaker and persuasive debater at school, suffered as a child from a speech disorder.
He began working with a speech therapist (理療師) when he was 6 years old, but it was his decision to try out for debate team at the end of seventh grade that helped him most.
“That experience changed my life,” he wrote after his team went on to nationals. “It gave me hope, and helped me see my own true potential.”
Since he launched MynameMystory last year, the site has attracted national and even international attention. Amit’s mom said her son’s website is meant to send a message that no one is alone in their experience, showing how people overcame their challenges and how others can, too.
“The big thing that clicked in Amit was the belief that people are really needed (to help each other) in this country,” she said. “I wasn’t surprised he wanted to do this, because at such a young age he had this spirit in him.”
In addition to the website, Amit also wanted to expand the idea of sharing stories. So he asked his friends and classmates to donate books to distribute to local hospitals. He hoped to collect perhaps 1,000, but in just two weeks, he received more than 2,300 donations.
“There was an absolute connection between the website and books,” Amit said. “But books are something that can really make a difference to someone who is in the hospital and can’t go to school.”
Amit said he’s hoping to organize a large live event for MynameMystory at the end of this year at Chaminade High School in West Hills. Those who shared their stories on the website will be invited to speak and encourage others to share their stories of overcoming challenges.
“We’re hoping for big things,” Amit said. “We have a lot of events planned out for the future. The goal is basically to inspire people in a different way.”
24. What helped change Amit’s speaking ability most effectively?
A. His speech therapist. B. His mother’s care
C. His debating experience. D. His teacher’s efforts.
25. What’s the purpose of Amit’s setting up the website MynameMystory ?
A. To attract national and international attention.
B. To show others how he overcame his challenges.
C. To encourage people to take part in debating.
D. To deliver his idea that people can help each other.
26. Why did Amit decide to donate books to sick children?
A. They are not allowed to visit the website.
B. Website and books have no connection.
C. They shouldn’t be left out in studies.
D. Books have a special influence on them.
27. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Amit never stops working for his dream.
B. A young boy is helping others in his own way.
C. Don’t ignore the small things in life.
D. MynameMystory helps build up self-confidence.
C
A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3-D) printing to re-create famous paintings so they can be touched.
One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss.” It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.
Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now, people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions. Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed.
Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it she said, ”Exactly, can you see these? There are so many details.“ Raditsch said she can imagine what the original painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. “It’s somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it’s so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too!” Raditsch said.
The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.
28. What is ”The kiss”?
A. A European Union project.
B. A popular painting.
C. A 3-D technology.
D. A famous museum.
29. Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish?
A. The painting was reproduced detailedly.
B. The original artwork was made in 1908.
C. Blind art fans can’t download the source.
D. The 3-D technology is not available.
30. How did Raditsch feel when she first touched the reproduction?
A. Awkward. B. Puzzled. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A European Union Program for Museum Visitors
B. 3-D Printing Lets Blind Experience Famous Painting
C. How to Reproduce the World-famous Paintings
D. A Special Museum for Art Fans in Vienna, Austria
D
You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(內(nèi)化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
32. What does the word “They” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. Opportunities and problems. B. People and things around you.
C. Creators and their choices. D. Victims and their sufferings.
33. According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.
A. seem willing to experience failures in life B. possess the ability to predict future life
C. have potential to create something new D. handle ups and downs of life wisely
34. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.
B. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.
C. Victims can influence more people than creators.
D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.
35. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _______________.
A. people need family support to deal with challengers in life
B. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims
C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains
D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life

A major source of teen stress is school exams，and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress，how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 36 What they look for is your presence—to talk，to cry，or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears，but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. 37 Together，you and your teen can work out a time-table in which he/she can study for what he/she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his/her privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It’s important for your teen to eat a healthy，balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his/her best. 38 If this happens，encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet，rather than junk food，is best for reducing stress.
39 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when he/she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation，fun，and exercise is all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance his/her time so that he/she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude. 40 Your panic，anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for his efforts. Most importantly，reassure your teen that things will be all right，no matter what the results are.
A. A parent’s manner will influence their teen’s emotions.
B. Exam stress can make some teens lose their desire for food.
C. They will only make the situation worse.
D. Encourage your teen not to be nervous.
E. The best thing is simply to listen.
F. Assist your teen in thinking about what he has to study and plan accordingly.

In fact, the relationship between soccer and music 65 (grow) stronger and stronger since the first official World Cup song came out in 1966. As a newspaper The Telegraph said, "Listening to inspiring music encourages people to take more risks."

And I’ll send her a plane ticket, so that she can be here for his birthday.
A: Boy! What an excellent plan! That’s something special. I can’t have guessed you had some secret plan and were waiting for the right time to tell me.

9. W: Hello, Mr. Jan Erick Freedman. You’re a frequent traveler. And we also know that
you eat out twice a day. How come you are so fond of eating out?
M: When I got my first job back in 1982 and started travelling, I had no other choice
but to eat out. I found that I felt different due to what I was eating, so I tried to
find places that served food that made me feel good. The secret was the quality
of the food and how well the food was prepared. I made an effort to find good
restaurants as well as nice dishes.
W: How did you manage to make a list of 218 favorite restaurants?
M: I’ve lived in many cities and when I moved back to Sweden from the United
States, people asked me where to go to eat when they went to cities I knew.
I got a lot of ideas. Then I wrote about restaurants for the Swedish club’s
magazine and someone suggested I gather the information about the
restaurants together since I had all the facts about the restaurants I’ve been to.
I started to do that.
W: How do you find restaurants?
M: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to people at the street market
or take a walk and look for a place for myself. I never asked a hotel clerk or a taxi
driver. I don’t go to empty restaurants or places with menus difficult to understand.
10.
Man:
At the beginning of the tour, we will start with the most important place in my town
which is the Plaza Leon. The Plaza Leon, which is more than 100 years old, is the
gathering place for young people on Friday and Saturday nights, and for parents and
children on Sunday afternoons. Four streets lead to the Plaza which have white sidewalks and are tree-lined. Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in
the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Fernando
Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street, whose roads are made of stones, is the only street which still has its old surface. Finally we come to the Horatio Street, on which there are two
universities. One of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it is
my favorite street of all.

To realize my dream, I firstly should focus on the science cources at school so that I can establish a sound foundation for my further study.Secondly,what I should do is read widely about the recent findings about space to get better preparation about my field.Of course I would choose space research as my major in my favourite university and spare no effort to realize it.
That’s all.Thank you.

The Basics of Math—Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra (代數(shù)) and beyond.
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents (指數(shù)), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.
By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery (神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.
Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.
If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.
4. What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?

Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (擲) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
8. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A. Controversial. B. Ridiculous. C. Boring. D. Puzzling.
9. Why was the author confused about the task?

B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D. He was new at the school.
10. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means ________.
A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager
11. In the end, the author turned things around ________.
A. by redoing his task B. through his own efforts
C. with the help of his grandfather D. under the guidance of his headmaster

Honey (蜂蜜) from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest (巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蠟) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
12. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest?
A. It’s small in size. B. It’s hidden in trees.
C. It’s covered with wax. D. It’s hard to recognize.
13. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A bee. B. A bird. C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper.
14. The honey guide is special in the way ________.
A. it gets its food B. it goes to church
C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees’ nests
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey
C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover’s Helper

Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it’s easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:
●Schedule yearly exams. 16 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.
●Protect against UV rays (紫外線). Longterm stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it’s extremely important to wear sunglasses. 17
●Give your eyes a break. Twothirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. 18 Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20second break and look at something 20 feet away.
● 19 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (維生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
●Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隱形眼鏡). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. 20 Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.
A. Eat your greens.
B. Eye care should begin early in life.
C. They can properly protect your eyes.
D. Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.
E. Parents usually don’t care about their own eyesight.
F. Always follow the doctor’s advice for appropriate wear.
G. This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

Suddenly my mother’s voice was in my head: “In the 31 of an emergency, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.” I laughed silently at my mother’s joke. and I wondered why I wasn’t 32 . I suddenly realized I was experiencing a complete and total absence of worry, as there was absolutely nothing I could do to 33 the problem with the plane.
As the runway rose to meet our planes 34 underbelly (下腹部) and the firefighters 35 to meet us, I felt a strange and beautiful 36 . And as the plane landed perfectly because, as it 37 , the problem was with a sensor and not with the landing gear and people 38 and hugged one another, I realized I wasn’t a 39 at all. The absence of worry I had just experienced was 40 an absence of any possibility of control. So I’m a control freak, wanting to control everything. And now I’m terribly worried about that.

People eat rice all over the world
Rice is believed to have been first grown in China or possibly somewhere else in eastern Asia around 10,000 years ago. The earliest evidence of rice farming comes from a 7,000-year-old site near the lower Yangtze River village of Hemudu in Zhejiang province in China.
Rice is a kind of food which requires much labor.

“Learning Chinese is growing popular in the United States.” Doty said. She was pleasantly surprised to find in the Chinese Bridge competition that many people of her age were learning Chinese, with many of them speaking more fluently than she does.
"Although it is difficult with some of the grammar structures because it is very different from English, it is really worth it and you can use it a lot in the world," said Doty, whose Chinese name is Huang Qiuyue.
Hoffs also shared her opinion. "Many people have recognized that they should have got on this train earlier.... It is still a rather unique skill.
"I believe that in a time when skills are scarce ... the people who do possess that unique perspective and unique connection with China will be more highly valued," she said, adding that studying Chinese also gave her an edge in her university admission.
She said her main essay submitted to Stanford was about how she chose her Chinese name and what that name meant to her.
"Choosing that name helps me better understand myself. I chose Jiang because when I traveled to Lijiang, I just fell in love with it. I chose Mingxi to express my desire for greater clarity and to live a clearer and more thoughtful life," she said.
According to the nonprofit US-China Strong Foundation, about 500,000 students in the United States
are currently learning Chinese, twice the number of 2017.
"People in the San Francisco Bay Area see the value in learning a second language. As Chinese is the most-spoken language in the world, they can foresee that by learning this language, there will be doors for them in their future careers," said Wong, the San Francisco educator.
25. What does Hoffs mean in the third paragraph?
A. People have regretted missing the train.
B. people realize that they should have arrived at the station earlier.
C. Many people think they should start to learn Chinese earlier.
D. Learning Chinese is difficult, and it is just a common skill.
26. According to Wong, what can we predict?
A. More and more people will start to learn Chinese.
B. people who learn Chinese well will have a brighter future.
C. Many people just learn Chinese as a second language.
D. Chinese will be the most widely spoken language in the world.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Learning Chinese is increasingly popular in US.
B. Learning Chinese needs unique skills.
C. Chinese is valuable to people’s careers.
D. People are learning Chinese through the Chinese Bridge competition.

Great civilizations dating back to the Egyptian empire, the Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire have all used trade routes as part of their economy. Perhaps the most famous ancient trade route known today was “The Silk Road”. The recent BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) mirrors this in many ways. It’s a way to connect the vast continents of Europe, Africa, and Asia in a similar manner as the ancient Silk Road did for the purpose of trade.
Trade between all the countries proposed in the BRI is possible today. But the BRI will make trade more efficient through newly built roads, railways, and shipping ports. The proposed infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施) is through mutual(雙方的) agreement, not through threats of military intervention. If a country
does not want to participate, they can simply refuse. It is their decision.
Could the BRI eventually become sort of an Interstate Highway System for the continents and countries of Europe, Africa, and Asia? Nobody can predict the future but it seems like a possibility. In the near term the BRI seems to consist primarily of railways and shipping lanes but there appears to be highways being built alongside in many cases. Besides, railways can be more efficient ways for people to travel than by motor car. Either way, the BRI would open up more travel and tourism as a result of its primary purpose of trade in the near term.
One of the most impressive parts of the BRI, in my eyes, is that it aspires(追求) to be a peaceful
expansion between nations of open trade. China is spearheading the project with the assistance of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) ( 亞投行) . The AIIB is also an economic endeavor of financial cooperation among most, if not all, the countries involved with the planning of the BRI.
Opening cooperative trade routes can come at a better time for China and the rest of Asia, Europe, and Africa. The result will be a massive infrastructure program that will cover most of Asia, parts of Europe and parts of Africa, which will enable free trade across these three continents.
28. What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?
A. changes B. reflects C. differs D. separates
29. Which of the following is NOT true about the BRI?
A. The BRI can improve the efficiency of trade.
B. In the near term, the BRI consists mainly of railways and shipping lanes.
C. The expansion of the BRI is through threats and military forces.
D. Any country can join the BRI if it wants to.
30. What does the author think of the AIIB?
A. It only offers assistance to China. B. It is a part of the BRI.
C. It is the financial cooperation among few countries. D. China is playing an important part in it.
31. The attitude of the author towards the BRI is .
A. optimistic B. pessimistic C. objective D. skeptical
D

Children's eyesight is becoming an increasing concern for many Chinese parents. Most of Chinese students are shortsighted and wear spectacles. 36 ?
It has nothing to do with genes. It is because of poor lifestyle choices. Too few hours spent outdoors, too many spent in poorly lit rooms. They think the brighter the light, the better for their eyes; or the light is too dim. 37 . Eyes need good illumination with shade, so the eyes can constantly adapt.
They also blame 'four-eyes' on Tencent. 38 . I have seen many zombie youngsters with their eyes glued to their mobiles while crossing busy streets.
There has been plenty of research done about this problem. Most state the main reason for poor eyesight is a lack of vitamin D, or sunlight. 39 , because they are either at school or at home studying. The short period of outside PE is not enough to get a “good dose” of sunlight.
All parents must play closer attention to this serious issue of poor eyesight. It only adds to the already enormous burden shouldered by Chinese students. 40 , charity organizations should be formed to assist them. Please don't let this simple health issue go ignored.
A. People with good eyesight do not need to take any corrective measures.
B. They play too many games
C. In either case, the eyes are strained and ruined early
D. For students who are too poor to afford eyeglasses
E. How can you learn if you can't see properly
F. Almost all Chinese kids hardly ever see sunlight
G. Why do so many Chinese children wear glasses

When you travel to China, you may find that the restaurants only serve you with hot water, and cold water is provided only if you 61 (special) order it. Why Chinese people are fond of hot water? Do Chinese people only drink hot water?

Some other people may explain further into the “science” behind it, 65 (say) that cold liquids can solidify the food in your stomach, and that might lead to digestive problems, while on the contrary hot water is helpful for 66 (digest).

Cars are an important part of life in the USA. Without a car, most people feel that they are poor.
There are three reasons the car has become so popular in the USA. First of all, the country is a large one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. The second reason is the fact that the USA has never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Though there is a good system of air service provided, it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one. The American sense of independence is what really makes cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.
However, though cars are so popular in America, the gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. The real solution will have to be a new kind of a car, one that does not use so much gas.
