25、Nowadays, many children spend hours a day looking at computer screens or other digital (数码的) products. Some eye care doctors say all the screen time has caused more children to have what they call computer vision syndrome (视力综合症).

Nathan Warford is an optometrist in the US. He says he has seen more children having eye problems. “More children come into my office because their parents have noticed that they have headaches (头疼)or red eyes, or because their degree of short-sightedness appears to be increasing (增加)very fast and they’re worried,” he said.

Dr. Warford says part of the problem is that even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, some children don’t tell their parents, because they don’t want their games or the computer to be taken away. Another part of the problem is that people blink (眨眼睛) less often when they look at the screen.A person who uses a computer or a digital product blinks about a third as much as we normally(正常地) do in everyday life. If eyes can’t stay wet or are too tired, they will not be protected like normal.

【1】Which of the following may be caused by too much screen time?

A.Having wet eyes.

B. Having headaches.

C. Having small eyes.

D.Having a toothache

【2】Why don’t some children tell their parents when their eyes start to feel uncomfortable?

A. They think it is not serious.

B. They want to continue playing computer games.

C. They don’t want their parents to worry.

D. Their parents don’t care about them.

【3】People blink about as they normally do when they use computers.

A. a third as much  B. two thirds as much

C. half as much    D. as much

【4】From the passage, we can learn that .

A. children should blink as much as possible

B. tears can’t protect eyes

C. blinking is good for eyes

D. It’s useless to blink.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Some information about the latest digital products.

B. Dr. Warford’s experience of working out eye problems.

C. Eye problems in children caused by using digital products.

D. It’s bad to use computers .

26、This morning was terrible for me. My tooth was aching, and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt : “Linda, the trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head strongly--and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could stand the ache until my dentist who was on vacation came back, but the pain was really unbearable(无法忍受的). So I started calling the other dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately(立刻). Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

“If you come by right now, madam” the nurse said, “the dentist will fit you in.”

I took my bag and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. Why wasn't he as busy as the others?

In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the white walls and I became even more worried. The nurse noticed my nervousness and put her warm hand over my ice-cold hand.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”

“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.

“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the nurse said.

“The artwork?” I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling(天花板).  How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

根据短文内容， 回答问题。

【1】Who did Linda argue with this morning?

【2】Why did Linda call the other dentists in the phone book?

【3】How did Linda go to see the new dentist?

【4】Was Linda nervous after she walked into the new dentist’s office?

【5】Where was the beautiful picture?

27、“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking?

Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.

A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle (水壶盖) move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine (蒸汽机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.

James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring (钟表的主发条)? He soon found he could make it with whalebone (鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto (座右铭) was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.

Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t lose heart, and don’t ask someone for help before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.
