There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.

Which part of the world has the most nearsighted students? Just look around you–it’s East Asia. Nine in ten school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame. East Asian students, they say, aren’t getting enough sunlight.
People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered? Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP.
According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsighted–only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore.
“Children in East Asia basically go to school... go home and stay inside. They study and they watch television,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.
But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan. “As long as they get outside, it doesn’t seem to matter how much study they do,” he explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and don’t get outside. As a result of massive (巨大的) educational pressures and the construction (構(gòu)成) of a child’s day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.”
Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.
小題1:Which of the word has the similar meaning as the underlined phrase “nine in ten”?
A．manyB．fewC．someD．most
小題2:What is the main reason for the large number of nearsighted students in East Asia, according to scientists?
A．Too much reading or gaming.B．Lack（缺少）of sunlight.
C．Genetic reasons.D．Lack of exercise.
小題3:What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A．Dopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape.
B．Dopamine can stop light entering the eyes from focusing correctly.
C．Spending time in the sun can make the loss of dopamine in the body.
D．The more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has.
小題4:According to Morgan, what kind of people are most likely to suffer from nearsightedness?
A．Those who like watching TV.
B．Those who take exercise regularly.
C．Those who study hard and play hard outdoors.
D．Those who stay indoors studying all day

I love my Blackberry mobile phone – it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. However, I know there are times when I need to move away from these things and truly communicate with others.
I teach a course called History Matters in college. My goals for the class include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas. Because I want students to fully study the material and discuss with each other in the classroom, I have a rule – no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule, some of them were not happy.
Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. I’ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers’ classrooms.
Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中斷) by technology often break students’ thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (評價) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level – a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I am not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I will continue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
小題1:The writer’s rule for his History Matters class is ____.
A．discussing historical ideas deeply
B．studying and discussing the materials
C．leaving technology out of the classroom
D．making right use of technology in class
小題2:The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means ____.
A．similarB．unforgettableC．specialD．unpleasant
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Students make right use of technology in other teachers’ classes.
B．The classroom is one of the good places to have deep conversations.
C．The writer encourages students to agree with others after discussion.
D．Students are unhappy with the writer’s way of teaching history.
小題4:The writer wants to tell us that ____.
A．technology has different influences in different classes in college
B．technology makes it difficult to have true communication in class
C．history classes can help students to develop their deep thinking
D．it is time for him to give up his teaching method in history class

What is the first thing you want to do when you see someone yawn（打哈欠）？You want to yawn, too! Yawning is contagious.
Scientists have found that all people yawn. Babies start to yawn even before they are born. The earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. That’s why scientists seem to think yawning is contagious.
It’s no secret that yawning is contagious, but why do we yawn? Well, scientists are not really sure.
Some think we yawn because we feel bored. Recently scientists studied two groups of students between the ages of 17 and 19. One group watched music videos, and the other watched a boring color test. Scientists compared the numbers of their yawns and found that the color test group yawned more times than the video group.
Another reason for yawning has to do with breathing. Some scientists believe that when we are bored or tired, we breathe more slowly. As our breathing slows down, we cannot get rid of （去除）enough carbon dioxide, our bodies will tell the brains（大腦）to breathe deeply. The result is a big yawn.
In 2007, scientists suggested a new reason. They said that the reason why people yawned was to cool down their brains. These scientists found that people who were warmer than others yawned more often.
Scientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, almost everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.
小題1:The underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 1 means _________.
A．helpful to our health
B．passing from one person to another
C．hard to understand
D．getting into one trouble after another
小題2:According to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are _______.
A．bornB．one year oldC．17 or 19 years oldD．inside their mothers
小題3:Which of the following are the possible reasons for yawning according to the passage?
①People yawn because they are bored    
②People yawn to catch others’ attention
③People yawn to cool down their brains  
④People yawn to get rid of carbon dioxide.
A．①②③B．②③④C．①②④D．①③④
小題4:We can probably read this passage in a ____________
A．storybookB．travel guidebookC．movie posterD．science magazine

When US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plans with a friend.
But it wasn’t a dream. Her phone showed that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep.
Reading and sending text messages while asleep—called “sleep texting”—is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleepwalking. It’s also a growing concern(關(guān)心的事) among doctors: young people can’t live without their cell phones.
One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.
Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleeping texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.
Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine expert with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. It’s possible for the part of the brain that controls motor skills (動作技能) to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判斷) may be still asleep. That’s why some people can perform basic movements ---such as walking, talking, texting or even driving—while they’re sleeping. Some of Dowdell’s students said that they’re disturbed by their nighttime texting behavior. But because sleep texting is unconscious, it’s a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.
Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic devices(電子設(shè)備) outside the bedroom at certain times.  
小題1:What happened to Olivia Priedeman?
A．She sleepwalked to a friend’s house.
B．She dreamed of making plans with a friend.
C．She phoned one of her friends during the night.
D．She read a text message from her friend while asleep.
小題2:Which part the brain controls keeps awake while asleep?
A．judgmentB．languageC．memoryD．motor skills
小題3:What does the underlined word “unconscious” mean?
A．無法B．無意識的C．無反應(yīng)的D．無規(guī)律的
小題4:What does doctor Hogan suggest people who sleep text do?
A．Stop text during the daytime.
B．Take some medicine to control the behaviour.
C．Keep their phones out of their bedrooms while they sleep.
D．Wear socks on their hands to stop themselves from texting.
小題5:We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．It’s easy to give up a sleep texting habit.
B．One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit.
C．Sleep texting can reduce the quality of one’s sleep.
D．Sleep texting does more harm to one’s health than sleepwalking.
