The strong emphasis on educational achievement in China, Japan and other parts of South-East Asia may be coming at a heavy price. Researchers say that hard work at school plus the lack of exposure to outdoor light is damaging the eyes of almost nine out of ten students—with one in five at serious risk of visual impairment and blindness.

The scientists say that young people need up to three hours a day of outdoor light, but many infants are also missing out as they nap during lunch time. Dr. Ian Morgan is the lead author of the study. “I think what's happened in South-East Asia is that we've got a double whammy. We've got the massive educational pressures and we've got the construction of a child's day in a way that really minimises the amount of time they spend outside in bright light.”

The scientists say that genetic factors, long thought to play a big role in short-sightedness, are not as important as the environment. They point to Singapore as a place with several different racial groups, all of whom are now suffering high levels of short-sightedness.

The authors suggest that compulsory time outdoors should be considered by educational authorities across South-East Asia as a way of dealing with the problem.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about ?

A. Educational achievement in Asia.

B. Sight problems in South-East Asia.

C. Risk of visual impairment and blindness.

D. Massive educational pressures

2. What does the underlined part “a double whammy” refer to?

A. Many infants’ naps and massive educational pressures.

B. Hard work at school and the construction of a child's day.

C. Educational pressures and the lack of exposure to outdoor light.

D. Genetic factors and the minimised time spent outside in bright light.

3. By mentioning Singapore, the author intends to tell us that ________.

A. genetic factors play a big role in short-sightedness

B. it has several different racial groups

C. all Singaporeans are shortsighted now

D. the environment has greater effect on people’s eyes

4.The authors strongly believe that __________.

A. we should spend enough time outdoors

B. infants should not nap during lunch time

C. students should not work hard at school

D. educational authorities are to blame for short-sightedness

Many people think that romance will disappear little by little as couples grow older, but a heartbreaking video of an elderly man singing to his dying wife shows that for some, love lasts a life time.

The video was uploaded to Facebook by the pair's granddaughter Erin Solari. In the video 92-year-old Howard is singing to his dying wife, 93-year-old Laura, with the 1940s love song "You'll Never Know".

"I love you.., always love," Laura, who is seriously ill, tells her husband in the video--before asking him to "take good care of yourself" when she's gone.

Howard then continues to sing to his wife: "You' 11 never know just how much I miss you. You'll never know just how much I care. You'll never know just how much I love you." "Isn't your grandfather lovely?" Laura says to her granddaughter, who is filming the moving moment on her phone in the hospital room.

Erin originally posted the video to her Facebook page on September 12, 2015, and it has since earned more than 3.6 million views. On her Facebook, Erin wrote down details of her grandparents' inspiring relationship. She said Howard chose to sing "You' 11 Never Know" to his wife because "the song comforted her when he went away to fight in World War II." "Their love story has moved hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world," said Erin.

1. Where did Erin Solari record the video?

A. In Laura' s house.

B. At her home.

D. On the way to the hospital.

2.Why did Howard sing "You' 11 Never Know" when Laura was dying?

C. To remind her of the past.

D. To give her some comfort.

3.What result does the video make?

A. It moves a lot of people.

B. Solari receives many letters.

C. It helps Solari earn some money.

D. It will be filmed into a movie.

閱讀理解。

Every country has its heroes.The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire.If you get a list of the heroes of a nation,it will tell you the potential(潛力) of that nation.

Today in America,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choices would probably fall into three groups.The first group of heroes would be the rock stars—the people connected with rock music.There is no doubt that such people do have talent(才能).But one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model.The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good.The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles.However,one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.

A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star.Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports.However,too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder.Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.

A third type of hero is the TV or movie star.This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome.However,the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people.Today,the rock star,the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America.Really,do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor,a teacher or a scientist?These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes.However,they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.

What is really sad is that the young try to imitate(模仿) their heroes.They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles.If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars,athletes and actors,the future does not look too bright.

1.The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that .

A.if a nation has a lot of heroes,it will be strong

B.heroes of a nation will make the nation itself

C.what the people admire will make the future of the nation

D.if you want to be a hero,you must admire the hero

2.According to the writer,people should admire those .

A.who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes

B.who can express people’s feelings

C.whose personal life is good

D.who work for the interests of the people

3.What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth’s admiration?

A.He understands it.

B.He criticizes it.

C.He is angry about it.

D.He is uninterested in it.
