9.Up to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia---short-sightedness,a study suggests.Researchers say the"extraordinary rise"in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.
Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的) beyond 2m.It is often caused by an elongation (拉抻)of the eyeball that happens when people are young.According to the research,the problem is being caused by a combination of factors-a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.
Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework.This in itself puts pressure on the eyes,but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.
Cultural factors also seem to play a part.Across many parts of South East Asia9children often have a lunchtime nap.According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-sightedness.
A big concern is the numbers of the students suffering from"high"myopia.One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障礙)and even blindness.These people are at considerable risk-sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses-they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist and get some help.
For decades,researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition.But this study strongly suggests an alternative view."Any type of simple genetic explanation just doesn't fit with that speed of change; gene pools just don't change in two generations.Whether it's a purely environmental effect or an environmental effect playing a sensitive genome,it really doesn't matter,the thing that's changed is not the gene pool--it's the environment."

47.As is mentioned above,which factor mainly results in students'myopia in South East Asia?C
A.Genetic faults of the people.
B.Elongation of the eyeball.
C.The shortage of outdoor light.
D.Lack of research into the problem.
48.Which of the following statements do you think agrees with Professor Morgan?D
A.A lunchtime nap is helpful in reducing myopia.
B.Glasses keep myopia from getting even worse.
C.It's necessary to treat myopia with an operation.
D.It's of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.
49.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?B
A.Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing problem.
B.The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.
C.Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.
D.An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.
50.What's the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?D
A.Equip the classroom with better lights.
B.Look at the sun from time to time.
C.Do eyes exercise regularly.
D.Spend more time in the open air.

14.There are two dangers to be guarded against in old age.One of these is undue(過(guò)度的) absorption in the past.There is no need to live in memories,in regrets for the good old days,or in sadness about friends who are dead.One's thoughts must be directed to the future,and to things about which there is something to be done.
It is unwise to be too attached to the youth in hopes of sucking vigor from their vitality (活力).When your children have grown up,they want to live their own lives,and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young.you are likely to become a burden to them,unless they are cold to you.
I think a successful old age is easier for those who have strong impersonal interests involving proper activities.It is no use telling children not to make mistakes,both because they will not believe you,and because mistakes are an essential part of education.But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests,and you only concern yourself with your children and.grandchildren,then you must realize that while you can still render them material services,such as making them an allowance,you must not expect that they will enjoy your company.
Some old people are afraid of death.But in fact the best way is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal.An individual human existence should be like a river-small at first,rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider and the banks move back and in the end they become merged(混和)in the sea without any visible break.
The old man who can see life in this way will not suffer from the fear of growing old and death.

51.One of the dangers to be guarded against in old age isA  
A.the fear of getting old
C.to depend on themselves
B.to be lost in old memories
D.to be too impersonal
52.The author suggests that old people shouldA
A.develop impersonal interests with proper activities
B.tell their children not to make mistakes
C.concern themselves with their children
D.not give their children an allowance
53.The underlined word"render"in Paragraph 3 probably means"C".
A.give  
B.reward  
C.return   
D.demand
54.The author compares an individual human existence to a river becauseC
A.1ife is like a river,first small,and then it becomes wide
B.1ife is like a river finally flowing into the sea and disappearing
C.old age and death are both natural,just like a river
D.people get old and finally die naturally like a river
55.What's the main topic of this passage?B
A.Never be afraid of death.
B.How to grow old successfully.
C.Never be afraid of getting old.
D.Getting old is natural.

1.Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted (走神) by e-mail,the Internet and other things throughout the day?According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA,most people have the experience.
"People often lose their concentration when they are bored,of course,but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks,"says Peter Bregman,the head of the survey."They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring,so they jump out,"he says.The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center.Any strong emotion-quarrels with colleagues,problems at home-can interrupt our attention.Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.
Refocusing is hard for many people.Robert Epstein suggests the following,"Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes.Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind.Go for a short walk or take a deep breath,where you breathe in deeply,count to five slowly,hold it and breathe out very slowly."This can"blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus."
Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors."Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness,"Mr.Bregman says."You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it."Starting the day with a to-do list is also important,such as when to eat,when to go to the gym or take a walk.But if it's overly ambitious,you will put yourself in a state of anxiety,which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate."Choosing three or four things as your priority (優(yōu)先) for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus,"he says.

71.According to the passage,which is NOT the reason why some people can be distracted from their work?A
A.They don't want to be devoted to their work.
B.They are disturbed by the Internet and other things.
C.They can't find interest in their work.
D.They feel their work is too hard for them.
72.Which incident might not interrupt your attention?C
A.You were scolded by your teacher.
B.You had words with your good friend.
C.You went to school at six as usual.
D.Your mother and father had a quarrel.
73.According to Robert Epstein,how can we refocus on what we should do?B
A.Listen to rock music for some time.
B.Turn to your good friends or teachers for help.
C.Run around the playground for some time.
D.Take a breath from time to time.
74.What's the meaning of the underlined word"restore"in the passage?A
A.recover    B.reform   C.release  D.react
75.Why does the writer set the phone alarm to go off every hour?C
A.To blow out all the tension.
B.To become more aware of his behaviors.
C.To make a to-do list.
D.To remind him when to eat,when to go to the gym or take a walk.
