21、Ways to protect eyes from screens
Too much screen time may cause serious eye strain (眼疲劳) and even a sharp decline of eyesight. That's a big problem a lot of people are faced with nowadays, especially those who work on a computer. The following tips may be helpful.
Get regular eye tests
Experts recommend having a comprehensive eye exam every year to detect (探测) problems before they develop. During this test, you should tell the doctor how often you use your phone and your computer. 【1】 Tell your doctor about it, and your eyes can be tested more accurately at that distance.
Give your eyes space
【2】 Studies on computer-related eye strain suggest that screens should be no closer than 40 cm from your face. If this makes it hard for you to read, consider increasing the size of the text rather than moving the screen closer.
Take breaks
This may not always be practical if you're quite busy, but it's important not to stare directly at a screen for too long. 【3】 While surveys have shown that many office workers take no more than half an hour a day away from their computer, it's recommended that you take a 15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen.
【4】
Staring at a screen continuously for hours on end may make it difficult for you to focus. To avoid this, many eye experts recommend the “20-20-20 rule” — looking away from your phone/computer screen every 20 minutes and focusing on an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. The science behind his trick is that looking at objects at a distance relaxes the focusing muscle in the eye. 【5】
A.Exercise your eyes.
B.Give your eyes a chance to rest.
C.Make your screen more eye-friendly.
D.Studies show it's an effective way to reduce tiredness.
E.You should also measure the distance from your eyes to your screen at work.
F.The closer your phone/computer screen is to your eyes, the harder they have to work to focus.
G.Make sure that you use your phone or computer in a room where the lighting is bright enough.

When a 10-year-old boy gets a first class degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old boy plays chess like a future grand master, they are considered as geniuses. Where does the quality of genius come from? Is it all in the genes or can any child be turned into a genius? And if parents do have a child who might become a genius in the future, what should they do? In this 30-minute film, Barry Johnson, the professor at School of Medicine, New York University will help you discover the answer.

23、With the development of technology, more and more small electronic devices have been replaced by smart phones. Media channels, including newspapers, magazines and television shows, are also suffering. So who cares if people watch less regular TV or read fewer printed publications?
The answer is: advertisers. With all the traditional channels disappearing, how are advertisers supposed to reach customers? Banner (横幅) ads on our devices are ugly and disturbing. To overcome various digital problems, the ad industry has been serving up a sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟) solution: make ads look less like ads and more like the articles, videos and posts around them. An ad that matches the typeface, design and layout of the real article feels less like a tacky intrusion (俗气的入侵).
This trend, called native advertising, has taken over the Internet; even the Websites such as NYTimes.com and Wall-Street.com are using it. Social media companies have signed on to it as well. On Facebook and Twitter, every 10th item or so is an ad; only the small subtitle “Sponsored (赞助)” appearing in light gray type tells you which posts are ads.
Overall, native ads have been a huge success. On NYTimes.com, readers spend as much time on the ads as on the articles. But won’t dressing up ads to make them look like reported articles mislead people? Sometimes, yes. An Interactive Advertising Bureau study found that only 41 percent of general news readers could tell such ads apart from real news stories. And it’s getting worse. Advertisers worry that the “Sponsored” label discourages readers from clicking, so some Websites are making the labels smaller and less noticeable. Sometimes the labels disappear entirely.
At a recent talk about the difficulty of advertising in the new, small-screen world, I heard an ad manager tell an impressive story. She had gotten a musical performance — paid for by her soft drink client — perfectly inserted (插入) into a TV awards show, without any moment of blackness before or after. “It looked just like part of the real broadcast!” she recounted happily.
But how, then, could viewers tell the ad from the independently produced material? A participant rolled his eyes. “People are clever. They know!” he responded.
Look, it is great that native advertising works — publications and programs and free social networks have to stay solvent (有偿付能力的) somehow. But if advertisers truly believe in their material, they should have no problem labeling it as advertising.
For now native ads continue to be a fashion — with no laws governing them and no labeling standard. But that could change; the Federal Trade Commission has begun considering regulation. If the new generation of digital advertisers clean up their act according to the regulation, native ads might become more acceptable.
【1】What can we learn about native ads according to the passage?
A. They have overcome the problems of banner ads.
B. They are clearly labelled as ads in Websites.
C. They are a special type of articles.
D. They are used by all Websites.
【2】The ad manager’s story in Paragraph 5 is used to show _____.
A. it’s difficult to advertise in the small-screen world
B. it’s difficult to tell native ads from what they have been inserted in
C. it’s easy to insert ads into a TV awards show
D. it’s easy to deal with the “sponsored” label
【3】In the author’s view, the future of native ads is _____.
A. bright B. discouraging
C. uncertain D. time-dependent
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to advertise in the digital age.
B. Difficulties facing native ads.
C. Truth in digital advertising.
D. What native ads are.
24、At the age of seven,while his friends were spending their allowance(零花钱) on things like candy and toys,Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases.To try to get his peers(同龄人)to do the same,the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank,the Bartselana Student Bank,which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Lee took a deep breath and let it out slowly. When his lungs felt comfortable, he dived beneath the water. Looking up, he could see the bright sun shinning on the water’s surface. “Soon,” Lee thought, “I shall be able to hold my breath as long as David. Then I, too, shall be able to dive for pearls. ”
With lungs burning, he quickly surfaced and gasped(喘气) for breath. Lee was small for his twelve years, and he hated being treated as a child. David, his old brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Lee’s age.
Now, every day as the sun warmed the bay, David and the other young men went out to dive for oysters (牡蛎). With luck, there would be pearls in many of them. Many times Lee begged to go along, but David always refused.
So every day Lee would go to the shallow water to practice. With each day’s effort, his diving improved and he felt much at home in the water. “Tomorrow I shall challenge David. ” Lee decided. The next morning, Lee rose early, hurrying to catch up with David, who was already on the beach. “David, wait! ” called Lee.
The group of men around David grew quiet. Lee continued, “David, I say that I can hold my breath under the water as long as you can. If I win, I ask only that you treat me as a man and let me dive by your side. ”
The men of the village gasped(倒抽气) and began to laugh. David looked amused, “And what if when you lose?”
“I will not lose!” He took a breath, “But if I should, I promise not to ask to go with you for a full year!
The men of the village are here to judge. ”
Hearing this, David looked surprised.
