The Right Way to Sit

  If you are writing or studying, it makes very much difference where the light comes from. People who use books and pens every day have to be specially (特殊地) careful about the way the light shines on their work.

  Every house gets its light either from daylight through windows which is the very best to use or from the lamps or electricity; but whichever (无论哪个) kind of light it is, the way it slants (倾斜) towards our books or our work is a matter of great importance to the eyes.

  Take a book, stand with your back toward the window, and try to read. Your shadow falls all over the page and makes it almost as bad for your eyes as if you were in a dark room.

  Now turn around and face the window. The page is in the shadow again, while the bright light is in your eyes.

  Try standing with your right side toward the window. This is very good for reading, but if you were writing, the shadow would fall across the page and bother (干扰) you a little.

  There is just one other way: stand with your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect (完美的) for reading and for writing, too.

  Whatever (无论什么) kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is always the same.

1.When reading or writing, people should pay special attention to ________.

[  ]

A.the book they are reading

B.the paper they are writing on

2. ________ makes much difference to the eyes.

[  ]

A.The daylight through the windows

B.The light from the lamps or electricity

C.The way the light slants towards our books or our work

D.The way a house gets its light

3.It is bad for your eyes when you read a book ________.

[  ]

A.with your back toward the window

B.facing the window

C.with your right side toward the window

D.both A and B

4.Everything is OK for reading and writing when you ________.

[  ]

B.stand with your right side to the window

C.sit with your right side to the window

D.sit with your back toward the window

We talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we make it known to others soon. But can you imagine that a tree can talk and share hews too? Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do. Strange as it may sound, though, some trees do manage to communicate with each other.

Willow(柳树) trees are the best-known of these trees. When insects(昆虫) begin nibbling(叮咬) a willow tree, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical(化学物质) in their leaves. This chemical is bad to the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees protect themselves from the insects.

The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”, please tell them that even trees give messages to each other, too.

1.Willow trees send messages with _________.

A. words           B. movements          C. smells         D. sounds

A. speak just as people do           B. tell stories to others

Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.

Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.
