Now let me tell you how to use a computer safely.Your eyes Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimetres from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.Your hands and wrists (手腕) Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules: ① Rest your wrists on something. ② Keep your elbows (肘部) at the same height as the keyboard. ③ Stop once in a while and exercise your hands, wrists, and fingers in a different way. Your back You shouldn’t bend (弯) your back when you sit at the computer. The top part of the screen should all be in front of your eyes.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell. That’s why two 17-year-olds, Tara Verma and Siena Pradhan, from the US, made an app called Feel Now. Feel Now is a free app and people can use it on their phones. The app helps users think about and understand their feelings. They get a message each day. It asks them to choose a feeling. The users pick one from six feelings: happy, peaceful, angry, sad, bored and scared. Then the app breaks down (分解) each one into ten feelings. For example, it breaks down ”scared“into ”worried“and nine other feelings. The users can also say how strong the feeling is, such as ”a little“or”very“. Aditi, 14, is one of the users. She uses Feel Now and finds a feeling she didn’t know about. She might worry about a test more than she thought. And then she does something to make herself feel better. Some people think Feel Now could be more useful if it works with other apps. But Tara and Siena think the simple app is more helpful. ”I think the simpler it is, the more people will use it. Tara said. 31．What can Feel Now help people do? 32．How many feelings can the app break down each feeling into? 33．What does Aditi do after knowing her feeling? 34．What do Tara and Siena think of the app? 35．Do you want to try Feel Now?

Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries: Try to find out what you’re worried about. Sometimes, you may know what you’re worried about. Other times, you may not. Try to find it out first; if you can’t, you can ask for help. Think of ways to make things better. There is always something you can do to help feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem. Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions: Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me? How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test? Do I have a good place to do my homework? Have I tried different ways of studying?    If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you may write down all the things you can do — write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of the things you can do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back. Ask for help. When you’re worried, it is helpful to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends or teachers for help. 36．How many steps for dealing with your worries are mentioned (提及) in the passage? 37．What will you do if you don’t know what you’re worried about? 38．What will you do if you have a fight with your friend? 39．What are often top worries for kids? 40．Who can you ask for help when you’re worried? （9） 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。 Rain forests are forests full of rain.

Native people used to stay in the rain forest. They found food and built homes there. They made medicine from plants. Now they sometimes leave. They go into nearby towns to sell food. Still, they live in their own ways. Today, the Amazon is faced with the problem of deforestation (毁林).

For 14 days, Yue Kailang experienced all these like snowstorms and a freezing temperature of -20℃ while climbing Mount Muztagata in Xinjiang. The 16-year-old from Beijing finally reached the top of the mountain at 7,546 metres. Yue was the youngest in the “Climate Action” climbing team.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell. That’s why two 17-year-olds, Tara Verma and Siena Pradhan, from the US, made an app called Feel Now. Feel Now is a free app and people can use it on their phones. The app helps users think about and understand their feelings. They get a message each day. It asks them to choose a feeling. The users pick one from six feelings: happy, peaceful, angry, sad, bored and scared. Then the app breaks down (分解) each one into ten feelings. For example, it breaks down ”scared“into ”worried“and nine other feelings. The users can also say how strong the feeling is, such as ”a little“or”very“. Aditi, 14, is one of the users. She uses Feel Now and finds a feeling she didn’t know about. She might worry about a test more than she thought. And then she does something to make herself feel better. Some people think Feel Now could be more useful if it works with other apps. But Tara and Siena think the simple app is more helpful. ”I think the simpler it is, the more people will use it.

Native people used to stay in the rain forest. They found food and built homes there. They made medicine from plants. Now they sometimes leave. They go into nearby towns to sell food. Still, they live in their own ways. Today, the Amazon is faced with the problem of deforestation (毁林).

For 14 days, Yue Kailang experienced all these like snowstorms and a freezing temperature of -20℃ while climbing Mount Muztagata in Xinjiang. The 16-year-old from Beijing finally reached the top of the mountain at 7,546 metres. Yue was the youngest in the “Climate Action” climbing team. The project’s goal was to make people realize the danger of global warming by visiting snowy mountains. “I loved nature when I was a kid. I often climbed mountains in Beijing. In recent years more and more news reports have talked about the environment being destroyed (破坏), and I feel quite upset about it,” said Yue. “Mount Muztagata is an ideal place to research climate change because there are large areas of mountain glaciers (冰川),” said Yue. Along the way, Yue also collected snow samples, which was part of the project’s tasks. The samples will be given to scientists to study how air pollution forms. “We say ‘saving Earth’ every day, but I think taking real action is more important than just talking,” said Yue. “I hope my story can draw more young people’s attention to the serious problem of global warming. What I’ve experienced has shown that global warming is really not far away.” 46．What did Yue Kailang climb mountains to draw attention to? 47．How long did Yue Kailang’s experience of climbing last? 48．How old was Yue Kailang when he reached the top of Mount Muztagata? 49．What place is an ideal place to research climate change? 50．Should we do something helpful for our Earth?
