Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you thought about what they mean to your eyes?
According to a study, most of the British people own smartphones and they spend an average (平均) of two hours using them every day. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from short-sightedness (近视) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring at smartphones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink (自动眨眼) a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blink slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort (不舒服) in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils (瞳孔) become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma (青光眼).
While you’re probably not going to stop using your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters away from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.
26. From Paragraph 2, what can we learn?
A. Half of the British people began to use smartphones 27 years ago.
B. Each of the British people spends two hours a day on smartphones.
C. More British people have suffered from short- sightedness since 1997.
D. The number of the British people who own smartphones increases by 35%.
27. According to Paragraph 3, what may using smartphones improperly (不恰当地) cause?
A. Too many blinks. B. More tears in the eyes.
C. Smaller pupils. D. Dry eyes and glaucoma.
28. What’s the meaning of the underlined word this?
A. Looking at something closer to our face. B. Looking at smartphones for a long time.
C Staring at something far away. D. Staring at smartphones for a while.
29. Which of the following is suggested by the writer?
A. Don’t use the phone for over an hour without a break.
B. Hold the phone at least half a meter away from the eyes.
C. Turn off your phone for a couple of hours every day.
D. Look at something green far away for several minutes.
30. What is this article mainly about?
A. The rules to obey when using smartphones.
B. The harm that smartphones do to users’ eyes.
C. The reasons why teenagers get short-sightedness.
D. Advantages and disadvantages of smartphones.

March 14 is a great day for fans of maths. It is celebrated as Pi (π) Day, a day to celebrate the number that many people know very well. The date copies from the first three numbers of Pi (π). March is the third month and the 14th means one and four. Altogether it is 3.14. Pi (π) comes wherever there are circles (圆).

Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you thought about what they mean to your eyes?
According to a study most of the British people own smartphones and they spend an average (平均) of two hours using them every day. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from short-sightedness (近视) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring at smartphones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink (自动眨眼) a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blink slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort (不舒服) in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils (瞳孔) become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma (青光眼).
While you’re probably not going to stop using your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters away from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.
26. From Paragraph 2, what can we learn?
A. Half of the British people began to use smartphones 27 years ago.
B. Each of the British people spends two hours a day on smartphones.
C. More British people have suffered from short- sightedness since 1997.
D. The number of the British people who own smartphones increases by 35%.
27. According to Paragraph 3, what may using smartphones improperly (不恰当地) cause?
A. Too many blinks. B. More tears in the eyes.
C. Smaller pupils. D. Dry eyes and glaucoma.
28. What’s the meaning of the underlined word this?
A. Looking at something closer to our face. B. Looking at smartphones for a long time.
C. Staring at something far away. D. Staring at smartphones for a while.
29. Which of the following is suggested by the writer?
A. Don’t use the phone for over an hour without a break.
B. Hold the phone at least half a meter away from the eyes.
C. Turn off your phone for a couple of hours every day.
D. Look at something green far away for several minutes.
30. What is this article mainly about?
A. The rules to obey when using smartphones.
B. The harm that smartphones do to users’ eyes.
C. The reasons why teenagers get short-sightedness.
D. Advantages and disadvantages of smartphones.
【答案】26. C 27. D 28. A 29. A 30. B

There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from short-sightedness (近视) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.”可知,自1997年以来,越来越多的英国人患有近视。故选C。
