Dear Mandy，

I'm not doing well in my lessons at school，especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy，but it's not true. I work really hard，often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother，but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard，and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!

The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad，all he said was，“ You mustn’t waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons! ”

I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?

Thanks a lot!

Yours sincerely， Lisa

Eyesight（视力） plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：

·Schedule（安排）yearly exams(检查). _【1】__ Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.

·Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long－term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses. __【2】_

· Give your eyes a break. Two－thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. __【3】_ Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20－second break and look at something 20 feet away.

__【4】_ As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.

·Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. __【5】__ Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.

A．Eat your greens.

B．Eye care should begin early in life.

C．They can properly protect your eyes.

D．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.

E．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight.

F．Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate（适当的）wear.

【题目】What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology（生物技术）. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.

In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells（细胞） are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs（器官）. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.

It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.

【1】According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________.

A. diseases and aging B. accidents and war

C. accidents and aging D. heart disease and war

【2】In the author’s opinion，today’s most important advance in technology lies in（在于） ________.

A. the Internet B. medicine

C. brain cells D. human organs

【3】Humans may live longer in the future because ________.

A. heart disease will be far away from us

B. human brains can decide the final death

C. the basic materials of cells will last forever

D. human organs can be repaired by new medicine

【4】How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?

A. Over 100 years.

B. More than 120 years.

C. About 150 years.

D. The passage doesn’t tell us.

When people think about valuable things, they usually think about money or jewelry. I am not very rich, and I have something very preciously in my room. It's not a computer or a smart phone. It's the view from my window. I'm lucky live near a park. My window faces with the tops of the trees in the park. Below the tree I can see children on the playground, young couples walked quietly, and mothers with children. There are also some old people sitting in the beach. The whole world was before their eyes. My classmates like to go online or listen to music, but when I have free time, I just sit on the chair and enjoying the most precious thing in my room: the view.

During the weekend I traveled by the air for the first time in my life. I usual travel

by train or bus. It‘s both cheaper and safe. But to fly in the sky was something new to

me. At the end I felt a little nervous. But very soon I became exciting when I found

me high up in the sky among the clouds. I also found that mountains, fields, river

and so on was interestingly small. I enjoy the frightening and comfortable journey

very much. After all, it is more interesting take a plane than to take a car．
