We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop our friends’ homes if we have time. We don’t usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see each other, it’s polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!

In Svitzerland3._________________________________（守时是很重要的）。We are the capital of clocks and watches after all! 4. If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you’re expected to be there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes late, your friends may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. 5. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it’s impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend’s house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.

24、   Our lives have become more digital (数字的) in the modern world. We can study, find information and communicate with friends through computers and phones. However, spending a lot of time working, reading, texting and gaming through digital devices (设备) is bad for our eyes.

According to the American Optometric Association, 70 to 75 percent of computer workers have eye problems.

Digital eyestrain (眼睛疲劳) is one of the most common problems. People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain and other problems.

These problems have started to increase among children. "Children get cellphones at younger ages and are using them very often during the day," Sarah Hinkley, spokeswoman (女发言人) for the American Optometric Association, told USA Today.

The good news is that there are many things you can do to reduce digital eyestrain. When using a computer, first sit in your chair and reach out your arm. Your hand should rest comfortably on the screen, as if you're high-fiving the screen. Increase text size until your eyes feel comfortable.

When you are using a mobile phone, keep it at least 30 cm from your eyes and just below eye level. Try not to use it under sunlight.

Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.

【1】What can we know from Sarah Hinkley?

A.Children can easily get eyestrain. B.Children shouldn't use cellphones.

C.More children are experiencing digital eyestrain. D.Using cell phones can cause many problems.

【2】When we use phones, we should ________.

A.use them under sunlight B.turn off the lights

C.keep them just below eye level D.keep them close to our eyes

【3】The story gives suggestions about ________.

a. how to use computers safely

b. how to use phones safely

c. when to take breaks from electronic devices

d. how to clean your eyes

A.abc B.abd C.acd D.bcd

25、I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about astudent who studied in Germany.

After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask why they didn't want him. The answer was simple. “We don't offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany.”

What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many times.

From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will com out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the best rule.

【1】Did the student often buy a ticket when he took the subway?

_________________________________________

【2】Where did the student study?

__________________________________________

【3】According to the passage, what is the best rule?

___________________________________________
