Three-Dimensional （3D） movies have been becoming more and more popular in recent years．It seems 3D TV sets may be going into family households in the near future．While new digital 3D technology has made the experience more comfortable for many, for some with eye problems, long 3D viewing may result in an aching head, doctors say．

"There are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, which under normal situations, the brain deals with naturally," said Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmologist （眼科醫(yī)師） in Chicago．He said in a 3D movie, these people face a completely new sensory experience．"That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," Rosenberg told Reuters．
In normal vision, each eye sees things at a slightly different angle．"When that gets processed in the brain, that creates the perception （感覺） of depth," said Dr Deborah Friedman, an ophthalmologist in New York．The images people see in three dimensions in the movies are not calibrated （校準(zhǔn)的） in the same way that their eyes and brain are．"If your eyes are a little off to begin with, then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs
to exert （竭盡全力）," he said．                    
Dr John Hagan, a Kansas City ophthalmologist, said some people who do not have normal depth perception cannot see in 3D at all．He said people with eye muscle problems, in which the eyes are not pointed at the same object, have trouble processing 3D images．
Rock Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, a provider of 3D equipment to theaters, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off．
Heineman said older 3D technology used two film projectors（放映機(jī)）, one that projected a left-eye image and one that projected a right-eye image．Three-D glasses would allow viewers to see a different image in each eye．
"People often complained of headaches and it was really because the projectors weren’t lined up," Heineman said．
Now his company has developed a new single digital projector, which switches between the left and the right-eye image 144 times a second, to help overcome some of the old problems．
"By going to a single digital projector, those problems were solved," he said．Friedman said he thinks most people will do fine with 3D movies and with 3D TVs, but Rosenberg said people may quickly tire of the novelty （新鮮事物）．"I suspect there will be a lot of people who say it's sort of neat, but it's not really comfortable," he said．
【小題1】The text is mainly about ____．

A．the reasons why people like 3D movies
B．how to improve 3D technology
C．the development of 3D technology in recent years
D．causes of headaches and nausea when people watch 3D movies
【小題2】The underlined phrase "took off" could be replaced by "______"．
A．became popular
B．flew in the sky
C．left hurriedly
D．removed one's clothes
【小題3】This article implies that _____．
A．people do not like new things like 3D movies
B．3D TVs will completely take the place of old TV sets
C．3D technology is the most important technology ever
D．those with eye muscle problems should not watch 3D movies
【小題4】We can learn from what Rosenberg said in the last paragraph that
A．a(chǎn) single digital projector could solve all the problems with 3D technology
B．people will gradually become comfortable with 3D movies and TVs
C．the appeal of 3D movies and "TVs may fade
D．most people will actually enjoy the 3D experience

In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.
This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.
Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.
You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.
People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who can’t afford their medicine or a doctor’s care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.
【小題1】The helpers in the book “Magnificent Obsession” were not rewarded because ________.

A．they hadn’t solved the problems thoroughly
B．they expected to be paid back in the future.
C．they were friends of the worried individual
D．they had solved the problems secretly
【小題2】 The underlined word “pay it forward” means ________.                    
A．to repay someone who has helped you
B．to help someone else who needs help
C．to help someone who has helped you
D．to pay someone else who needs help
【小題3】What does the writer suggest with the example of “your elderly grandmother”?
A．We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help.
B．We should work hard to get a good education.
C．We should learn to respect our grandparents.
D．We should never forget to repay people for their help.
【小題4】By writing the passage, the author wishes people in the world to be ________.
A．honestB．mysteriousC． unselfishD．unforgettable

A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure（閑暇）. As part of its attempt to increase imports, the government is trying to get people to work less and spend more. The workers are disgusted.
The figures support the western prejudice（偏見） that the Japanese are all work and no play. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the government said last April that the country should cut down from its 2,100 hours average work year to 1,899 hours and a five-day week by 1992. Beginning in February, banks and stock markets will be closed on Saturdays, staff of civil service will be forced out of their offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will follow that practice.
But some persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are no happier: they have even advertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. They say that shorter hours are a disguised（隱性的） pay cut. The industrialists, who have no objection to the government’s plans, admit that shorter hours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese who are supposed to be acting against their hard-working parents, show no sign of wanting time off, either. But unlike older workers, they do spend money in their spare time. Not content with watching television, they dance, dress up, sit in cafes, go to pop concerts and generally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume, maybe the West can teach them to relax and enjoy themselves, too.
【小題1】The purpose of getting the Japanese to have more spare time is that           .

A．the government wants to show more concern for the health of the people
B．the government needs to get more goods from abroad
C．the Japanese have been working too hard
D．the Japanese hope to change the western prejudice
【小題2】The group of people who welcome the shorter-hour system in Japan is           .
A．the small companiesB．the industrialists
C．the unionsD．the younger generation
【小題3】The unions think that           .
A．the shorter hours they work, the higher pay the can get
B．the more they work, the less leisure they can enjoy
C．the shorter hours they work, the less pay they can have
D．the greater pressure the government is forcing on them, the less happy they can be
【小題4】The best title for this passage can be           .
A．Oh no! Not Saturday Again!B．Leisure: the Greatest Threat!
C．Enjoy While You are Young!D．Less Work and More Play!
