Children who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming nearsighted,
new research suggests.
In the study,researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren.The scientists found
that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23
percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been
instructed to spend more time outdoors.Moreover,among the kids who did become
nearsighted during the study,the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly
smaller among those who spent more time outdoors.
The researchers selected six schools and required the children,whose average age was
7 at the start of the study,to attend one additional 60-minute class of outdoor activities
during each school day for three years.The parents of these children were also encouraged to
engage their children in outdoor activities after school,especially during weekends and holidays.
The other half of the children,from another six schools,continued their usual activity patterns.
After three years,30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention group (had become
nearsighted,compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group.
It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit children's
eyesight,the researchers said.However,some research has suggested that the higher
levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine
(of the eye.In turn,dopamine is known to restrain the type of growth in the eye
that is associated with nearsightedness.
6-2
Based on the new results,the researchers recommend that children spend more time
outdoors because of the potential benefits of their eyesight.However,it's important to
protect kids'skin and eyes from UV(紫外线的)light,which can be damaging.

A.How to design outdoor activities for kids
B.How to prevent kids becoming nearsighted.
C.How to protect kids'skin and eyes from UV light.
D How to encourage kids to join in outdoor activities.

It's spring now.After a long,cold winter,your waistline may have expanded a bit
and you may be considering a diet.
Just do a quick Internet search of "crash diets".The results are endless."From start
to finish,I dropped about 20 pounds,"Megan Costic said about her crash diet."I cut
everything out:I wasn't even eating vegetables at the end of it."
It was all to prepare for a body-building show.Costic says it's not the way she
normally prepares,nor the way she should prepare."It wasn't supposed to be a crash diet.
I just started my plan a little too late,"said Costic.
So what happened after the show?Exactly what you might expect.Costic gained all
the weight back,and fast."I deprived (my body of so much stuff,once my body
tasted all those salty,sugary,fattening foods,it wanted more and more,"said Costic.
Costic is not alone.Wellness Dietitian with ProMedica Health Systems Nathan
Drendel says he has seen it all."People lose 15~20 pounds and they don't learn anything
but deprivation and they overeat and put 25 on.Then they drop 30 and put 35 on,"
explained Drendel."It can have problems with the heart,and the immune system.It can
mess up your metabolism(新陈代谢)over time if you do it for a long time,.”said Drendel..
6-3
Doctor Ameer Kabour,Chief of Cardiology for Mercy St.Vincent's,says his
department sees a lot of people with heart problems this time of year,after doing a crash
diet."Because of that diet,people have a significant drop in their blood pressure and they
pass out(昏迷),”said Kabour..
28.Why did Costic try crash diets?
A.To change her lifestyle.
B.To prepare for a show.
C.To keep fit and healthy.

B.Crash diets are only suitable for some people.
C.People should go on a diet as early as possible.
D.Crash diets aren't an effective way of losing weight.

B.They will have health problems.
C.They will lose their taste for food.
D.They will keep their normal weight.
31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

C.To tell us a proper way to be on a diet.
D.To explore an easy and ideal way to lose weight.

With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(),
more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet,for Nick Bright at least,leads straight to his mother-
in-law:she lives on the ground floor,while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two
daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol-one of a
growing number of multi-generational families in the UK living together under the same
roof.They share a front door and a washing machine,but Rita Whitehead has her own
kitchen,bathroom,bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
"We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house,"says Kathryn Whitehead.Rita
cuts in:"We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his
mother-in-law.”
And what does Nick think?"From my standpoint,it all seems to work very well.
Would I recommend it?Yes,I think I would."
It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him,but research indicates that
the numbers have been rising for some time.Official reports suggest that the number of
households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to
419,000in2013.
6-4
Other varieties of multi-generational family are more common.Some people live with
their elderly parents;many more adult children are returning to the family home,if they
ever left.It is said that about 20%of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents,compared with
16%in 1991.The total number of all multi-generational households in Britain is thought to
be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multi-generational living
is more firmly rooted.In India,particularly outside cities,young women are expected to
move in with their husband's family when they get married.
32.Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?
A.Nick
B.Rita.
C.Kathryn.
D.The daughters.
33.What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law?
A.Positive.
B.Carefree.
C.Tolerant.
D.Unwilling.
34.What is the author's statement about multi-generational family based on?
A.Family traditions.
B.Financial reports.
C.Published statistics.
D.Public opinions.

What is happiness?When you can feel inner peace and satisfaction,you are happy.
36
This usually happens when we do something we love or achieve something that
we value.It is our opinions that make us feel happy or unhappy.All of us constantly go
through various situations or conditions,but we do not have to let them influence our
reactions and feelings.37
Try hard to make a change of the way you look at things.
38
That means
looking at the good and positive side of every situation.Pay attention to solutions,not
problems.Listen to relaxing and uplifting music.Watch funny and interesting programs
that make you laugh.
Always look at what you have done and not at what you haven't done.Look at what
you can do,not at what you cannot do.Each day do at least one act to make others happy.
When you make someone happy,you'll become happy,and then people will try to make
you happy.39 On the contrary,be happy for their happiness.Communicate with
happy people and try to learn from them to be happy.Remember,do your best to stay

Mrs.Thompson stood in front of her fifth-grade class on the very first day of school in
the fall and told the children a white lie.Like most teachers,she looked at her pupils in the
class and said that she loved them exactly the same,and that she would treat them all
alike.
6-7
And that was impossible because in front of her,there was a little boy named Teddy
Stoddard,sitting lazily in his seat on the third row.Mrs.Thompson had watched Teddy
the year before and noticed he didn't play well with the other children,that his clothes
were untidy and that he constantly needed a bath.
Because Teddy was a little boy in low spirits,no one else seemed to enjoy him,either.
At the school where Mrs.Thompson taught,she was required to review each child's
records.When she opened his file,saying that Teddy did well in schoolwork,but after his
mum died of cancer he became wordless and felt lonely at times,Mrs.Thompson knew
everything.
Christmas was coming fast.It was all she could do,with the school play and all,until
the day before the holidays began and she was suddenly forced to focus again on Teddy
Stoddard and paid particular attention to him.
Her children brought her presents,all in beautiful ribbon and bright paper,except for
Teddy's,which was clumsily wrapped in the heavy,brown paper of a grocery bag.
Mrs.Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents.Some of the
children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet(莱茵石手镯)with some of
the stones missing,and a bottle that was one-quarter full of cologne(古龙香水).She
stopped the children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was,putting it
on behind her wrist.
Teddy Stoddard stayed behind just long enough to say,"Mrs.Thompson,today you
smell just like my mom used to.
Paragraph 1:
After the children left Mrs.Thompson cried for at least an hour.
Paragraph 2:
A year later she found a note under her door from Teddy.
