Nowadays,many of us get eye problems. That's because we don't use our eyes in correct ways.Here's some advice. We can't watch the screen of a TV, a computer or a smart phone for a long time.Every 20 minutes we should stop to look at something far away.And we are supposed to wear sunglasses when out in the sun.We'd better not read in the sun.It is harmful to our eyes.According to reports, about 35.6%of primary school students and nearly 81%of senior high school students are near-sighted.So after class, students should be encouraged to go outside during breaks, Another important thing is to get an eye examination every year.If the doctors notice our problems earlier,it'll be easier to correct the problems.That's all.Thanks for listening. 一、1-5 CCBAB 6- 10 CBABC 11- 15 CBABA 16-20 BACCA 21-25 ACCAC 二、26.A 解 析 考查情景交际。根据“Don't you think they can sometimes cause much trouble?”可知，说话者

The first porcelain in China was made in the Eastern Han Dynasty.The main material of porcelain is clay and the surface of it is glaze(釉). Both need to be fired at a high temperature. During Tang and Song dynasties,porcelain was the earliest customized luxury(奢侈) goods that were sold abroad so China was called“a nation of porcelain”. The Legend of Silk The invention of silk is said to date back 5,000 years. The wife of Emperor Huang, Leizu, brought the sericulture(养蚕) technology to the central China. In ancient times, silk was usually made from real silk thread spat(吐) by silkworms. Silk was soft, smooth and light, so it was often used in clothing,writing, fishing and instruments. It was valuable in ancient Chinese societies and trade networks. The Four Treasures of the Study Proudly, the four treasures of the study were all invented in China. They include the brush, ink, Xuan paper and inkstone. The brush serves as the primary tool for writing and is cherished for its graceful strokes(笔触). Ink, as the material for writing, remains its deep and pleasant smell through the time.Xuan paper, where the characters are written, is light yet strong. The inkstone comes in different shapes.

Sometimes he was really impolite. He often pushed kids in line and said“Get out of the way and let me be in front”. One day, a new kid called Jake came to Room 22. He was short and skinny(干瘦的). He had red hair and freckles(雀斑). When the teacher wasn't looking, Nick made faces at Jake and some kids laughed. Jake was in front of Nick in the line. Again Nick pushed Jake in line and said“Let me be in front”. But Jake just smiled at Nick and said no. Nick's face went red and was furious. Kids never said no to him. But he couldn't do anything because the teacher was looking. When Jake went to the classroom, Nick snatched(抢夺) his pencil. But Jake just smiled and said,“You can have it. This is my sister’ s. She likes pink but I don’ t.” The other kids all laughed. But Nick didn't. His face went red again! At lunchtime, Jake went to play soccer. Jake could play soccer well. He could stop every ball. Jake kicked the ball to Nick and asked him to stop the ball, but Nick failed and slid over in the mud(泥).Some kids laughed but Jake didn't. Instead, he told Nick how to stop the ball very patiently.

How to Communicate with Friends B. The Story of Nick and Jake C. Two Friends Help Each Other D. Help Friends Play Soccer Well C According to a study from the University of Michigan, kids spent two fewer hours each week on outdoor activities in the early 2000s than kids did in the early 1980s. Indoor activities without moving are more popular. Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV or playing computer games. “This causes over-weight, greater stress and more physical and emotional(情绪的) illnesses,” says Richard Louv, a nature writer. In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside. Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. You will feel better after spending time outside. “Surfing, camping and fishing help bring all of your senses to life, ” says Betsy Keller, a professor. “Smell, sight ... they’ re all active when you’ re outside.” With your senses getting stronger, you’ ll feel free and more creative. Playing outside helps your body. When playing outside, you can be on hills, beaches or lakes instead of a flat floor. Different areas offer special fun and challenge your strength and balance. It also helps keep your body's clock on track so that you sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day. ★ Too much time indoors, such as watching TV or activities in non-green areas, may make it hard for kids to focus their attention and easy to feel stressed out. But staying in nature makes them more focused and lowers their stress levels. Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment.
