Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper.

The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson & Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.

They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.

The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (氣象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.

Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.

If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.

Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.

1.You would most likely find the article in .

A. a doctor's diary B. a travel journal

C. a medical magazine D. a physics textbook

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.

B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.

C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.

D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.

3.Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because .

A. Snow produces more UV light than water.

B. People don’t wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beach.

C. The reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher than that on the beach.

D. Human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow- covered areas than on the beach.

4.What will the passage most probably talk about next?

A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.

B. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.

C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.

D. Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.

One morning, my newspaper wasn’t delivered on time. Since I always brought it to work, it upset me that I would have to pick one up on my way to work. After breakfast, I was already running late, but figured I could make it if I hurried.

As I pulled into the parking lot of the store, I noticed a young man in a wheelchair who seemed to be struggling. “Someone else will stop and help him,” I thought.

However, no one stopped. I got out, and walked over to see what the trouble was.

“Is there anything I can do?” I asked. It was then that I noticed he wasn’t able to speak, and was still struggling with the chair.

I looked down at the chair and noticed that the clamps (夾具) holding the electronic keyboard had apparently become loose causing the equipment to slip down, out of his reach.

I pulled it back into place and then re-tightened the clamps. He hit a key on the keyboard. An electronic voice told me, “Thank you.” He then found the control that steered (操縱) the chair, turned and left.

I got back in my car and headed off to work, completely forgetting my newspaper. As I drove, I felt a deep gratitude (感激). I was truly blessed to have the physical abilities that allow me to live a normal life. Here was this young man who relied on machines to get around and communicate. He probably dreamed about doing all the things that I thought were normal and simple.

It’s funny; fifteen minutes before that happened, I was whining because my morning paper hadn’t arrived on time. I was glad I helped the young man, because he helped me gain a new viewpoint on everything I had in my life.

1.Why did the author stop at the store?

A. To do his job. B. To have breakfast.

C. To buy a newspaper. D. To drive a colleague to work.

2.What was the young man trying to reach?

A. The clamps. B. The car key.

C. The wheelchair. D. The electronic keyboard.

3.What does the underlined word “whining” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Complaining. B. Worrying.

C. Arguing. D. Crying.

4.What did the author learn from the experience?

A. Treasure what we have. B. Treat the disabled nicely.

C. Technology has changed our lives. D. Don’s get annoyed over small things.

Do you have a hard time saying no to others? Do you say "yes" when you really mean no? You're not alone. Many people end up saying "yes" to something they don't really want to do for several reasons. It is necessary to learn how to say "no".

"I'm sorry. I just don't have the time at the moment."1.After all, your own work comes first. The other person will understand, especially if they also have a busy job.

"I don't think I'm the best person to help you out. Why don't you try...?" If you think you can't be of any help then simply say no. 2.Recommend that person instead. This is a good one to use at work.

"Let me get back to you." Sometimes you first have to check your schedule before you can make a promise. 3. This will waste the other person's time, which could have been spent finding someone else who would say yes.

"I would rather refuse than say sorry later." 4.The other person will appreciate your honesty. You could even say, "I'd rather say no now than I'm sorry later." However, you must never offer to do something in the future if you don't mean it. This will turn out to be much worse than simply saying no in the first place.

"No". This is the simplest and most direct way. Simply say "no". 5.We spend so much time thinking of good excuses when being direct is often the simplest and best way.

A. There is no doubt you have said no a few times.

B. If you are too busy then let the other person know.

C. There is no need to add any derails unless asked for.

D. You might be asked to do something when you are busy.

E. Maybe you know someone else who would be better suited for the task.

F. When you know you won't be able to do the best job you can, simply say so.

G. But it's not a good idea to say this when you really mean no in the first place.

【廣西玉林市、貴港市2017屆高中畢業(yè)班質(zhì)量檢測】D

While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately,scientists have always been a little doubtful.Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna,Austria,we finally have some convincing evidence.

For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.

Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That’s because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.

After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.

They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.

The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.

1.How did the scientists conduct the experiment?

A. By mixing the selected dogs together.

B. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.

C. By showing digital pictures of women’s happy or angry faces.

D. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dogs in the study?

A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.

B. The dogs couldn’t read strangers facial emotions.

C. According to their size,the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.

D. The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.

3.The underlined word "trepidation" in Paragraph 5 probably means .

A. curiosity B. horror C. excitement D. doubt

4.How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?

A. They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.

B. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.

C. They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.

D. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.
