24、Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted(近视的), a research shows. It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.

The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.

Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors — 90 minutes less than the Australian children.

Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors

Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted. So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.

【1】What causes short-sightedness according to the passage?

A. Watching TV.

B. Playing computer games.

C. Reading in weak light.

D. Spending little time outdoors.

【2】How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the research?

A. 120 minutes.   B. 90 minutes.

C. 60 minutes.   D. 30 minutes.

【3】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A. What the special chemical in natural light is.

B. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.

C. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.

D. Why daylight is hundreds of times brighter than indoor light.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.

B. Singaporean children have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.

C. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.

D. Playing outside 2 or 3 hours a day can reduce the risk of getting short-sighted.

25、Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.

One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”

They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.

The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

26、   If you know a place really well, you might say that you know it “like the back of your hand”. How well do you know the back of your hand, though? New research shows that we don’t know as much about our hands as we think we do.

Wider and shorter

Professor Matthew Longo, at the University of London, tried an experiment. His team of researchers covered the left hands of 100 people. They then asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节) were. They found this very difficult.

“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. Fingers also seem shorter.

Sense of position

“It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of our bodies are, even when we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint (关节) is straight or not,” he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information comes from our nerves (神经). It’s like our brains have maps for the size and shape of our bodies. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo.

Strength (强度) of feeling

____▲____ “Our brains ‘see’ areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips (嘴唇), for example, have more nerves than our noses, so our “maps” show lips as being bigger than our noses.

【1】What do we know about Longo’s experiment?

A.It examined left-handed people. B.People thought their hands were smaller than they actually were.

C.People could find their knuckles. D.People thought their fingers were shorter than they actually were.

【2】What does the underlined “it” refer to?

A.The new experiment. B.The misbelief people had.

C.The size of the hand. D.The location information.

【3】____▲____of the following sentences is put best into the text.

A.People draw the proper maps. B.These maps make mistakes.

C.Researchers describe the brains. D.Man touches parts of the bodies.

【4】We can infer from the article that________.

A.there are more nerves in the fingers than in the toes

B.our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our nose

C.the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers do

D.our brains can see the world better than other mammals

27、   One day, Mr. Li was reading a book in his office after school. To his surprise, a ball flew in suddenly and hurt him on the head.

If you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in 【1】 (French), or a watch in Switzerland? No matter   【2】 you may buy, you might think those products 【3】(make) in those countries．However, you could be wrong．Kang Jian is 【4】 18-year-old student from Shanghai．Last year he 【5】 (go) to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco．He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China．“I wanted to buy a toy car 【6】  my cousin, but even though most of the toys were American brands, they were made in China．” Toys are not the only things made in China．“I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains．“But I had to visit five or six stores before 【7】 (find) a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid 【8】 (buy) products made in China．“In fact,” he continues, “there 【9】  (be) many other things there made in China — footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones．Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things．However, he wishes that in the future China will also get   【10】 (good) at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world．
