小题1: If the only sports you do are dancing your fingers across your keyboard, you could be in serious danger of more than just becoming fat!
Do you feel sleepy, like something is weighing down on your head? Do you feel forgetful? Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable up and down your neck and lower back, and you can’t explain why? Do you get sick often? It could be radiation(辐射) from your computer causing it. If you spend three hours or more a day in front of a computer, (and at this point, who doesn’t?) you are more easily harmed by these hazards(危害).
小题2:We have got so used to using computers that we don’t often think of them as dangerous sources(来源) of harmful(有害的) radiation. A safe amount radiation is 25 V/m(Volts/meter). Do you want to guess how much our personal computers give off?
★ Keyboard: 1000 V/m      ★Mouse: 450V/m    ★Monitor: 218 V/m
★CPU: 170V/m          ★Notebook computers: 2,500 V/m
Ways to Protect Yourself from Harmful Computer Radiation:
1. Decorate your desk with cactus(仙人掌) plants, they take in radiation.
2. Drink two to three cups of green tea a day and eat an orange daily. The vitamins in tea leaves and oranges protect us from radiation and keep our eyes healthy as well.
3. Use a screen filter(过滤器) for your monitor.
4. Avoid having metal objects nearby on your desk.
5. Put the back of the computer to the wall. Most of the radiation comes off the back.
6. Keep your monitor at least 50cm away from your face.
7. Keep your computer rooms ventilated(空气流通的).
8. Eat healthily—especially fruits and vegetables.
9. Don’t fall asleep on your computer. Turn it off if you have to rest nearby.

In a famous story, a young boy called Ali Baba says “Open Sesame” and a door to treasures is opened before him. Ma Yun drew inspiration from this and founded Alibaba.com.
Over 14 years, Alibaba.com has become China’s largest e-commerce (电子商务) website. E-commerce is the a   小题1: of buying and selling goods and services and doing other business activities using a computer and the Internet. However, the founder chose to leave and to discover new areas of business. On May 28, Ma became chairman of Cainiao Network Technology Co., Ltd.The company will set up China Smart Logistics (物流) Network. Its goal is to deliver packages (运送包裹) to people anywhere in the country w  小题2:  24 hours.
The 48-year-old businessman, who is short and thin and often wears oversized suits, always had he courage to dream big and try new things.
Ma got the idea or starting a business career in 1995. He was then working for a US trading company as a translator, when he was introduced to the Internet. He s  小题3: the word "beer" and saw that no data came up about Chinese products(产品).

What is it like being a film star? What is it like n front of the camera? Students from Steamboat Spring Middle School in the US could tell you exactly what it’s like. They recently got a taste of the life of a star.
A local movie company wanted to produce a film. All the actors in this film were to be students. Fourteen students were chosen from the school. The film, called Ruby vs Wolfgang, was based on the story of little Red Riding Hood(小红帽). It came with a twist(改变), however---the story was told from the perspective(看法) of the wolf.
Zoe Walsh, a seventh-grader, signed up to do behind- the- scenes work. But she soon found herself in front of the camera instead. She played a strange middle school student in the film.
“It is just for fun,” she told the Steamboat Today. “Just pretending that you’re someone else.”
But there were also difficulties. It was very cold during shooting. Students had to put up with snow and icy wind.
Lack(缺乏) of experience was another problem. The director Michael Staley said he tried to “help each student bring out the wolf ---or Whatever animal they representing---in themselves”
Erus Harrington, an eighth---grader, said he played a “nice, silly British guy”. He learned the British accent(口音) all at home.
“I just a kind of taught myself how to do it by watching videos,” he said “It makes me feel good after I do it because I’m proud of myself.”
The students will watch themselves on the big screen for the first time during the film festival at a local high school in May.
“I’m probably going to laugh at myself,” said Zach, the brother of Zoe.
小题1:Fourteen students were chosen as actors in this film, weren’t they?
小题2:Who did Walsh play in the film?
小题3:What were the two main problems for the actors?
小题4:How did Harrington learn the British accent?
小题5:Where will the students see the film acted by themselves on the big screen for the first time ?
小题6:What do the students think of being a film star after they got a taste of the life of a star according to the passage? (At least two different opinions)

Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their h 小题1: was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the assignment(任务), but the professor would not answer their questions. He e  小题2:  his students to find it out for themselves.
One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to s  小题3:  their stories. One student told of distributing （分配，散发）blankets to the homeless, another had contacted a long, lost friend, and another student r   小题4: that he had helped a dog to find its owner. Students were energized(激励) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. W  小题5:  the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something k 小题6: for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind –not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.
Since then, s  小题7: kindness activities have been organized in schools all over the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, a 小题8: November 13, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform d  小题9:   kind acts, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to c  小题10: other people and think about how small actions can make the world a better place.
