More than half the young children and teenagers in China are nearsighted, according to a survey by top government agencies, which called for intensified efforts to prevent and control the condition.
The survey, which was conducted last year, found that eight of 10 senior middle school students were nearsighted, compared with 71.6 percent in junior middle school, 36 percent in primary school and 14 percent of 6-year-olds in kindergarten. Overall, 53.6 percent were nearsighted. The prevalence (流行程度) of a high degree of myopia also became alarming as the percentage of senior students in high school, who wear glasses stronger than six diopters, has mounted to 21.9 percent. Up to 80 percent of the country’s young adults suffer from nearsightedness, according to a report in the medical journal Lancet. In contrast, the overall rate of myopia in the UK is about 20-30 percent. If you walk the streets of China today, you’ll quickly notice that most young people wear glasses. In Shanghai, for instance, 86 percent of high school students suffer from myopia, or nearsightedness, according to Xinhua News Agency.
The growing prevalence of myopia is not only a Chinese problem, but it is an especially East Asian one. According to a study published in The Lancet medical journal in 2012, by Ian Morgan, of the Australian National University, South Korea leads the pack, with 96 percent of young adults (below the age 20) having myopia; and the rate for Seoul is even higher. In Singapore, the figure is 82 percent. To say that Asia is having an eye problem is an understatement.
Several factors are associated with the high rate of nearsightedness in China's children and teenagers, including lack of outdoor physical activity, lack of adequate sleep due to heavy work and excessive use of electronics products. And some biologists compared Singaporeans living in Singapore to those living in Australia. They found that 29 percent of the Singaporean students had myopia compared with just 3 percent in Sydney. The main correlation was once again, time spent outside.
“The big difference was the Chinese children in Australia were outdoors a lot more than their matched peers in Singapore,” says Ian Morgan, a retired biologist at Australian National University, who coauthored the 2008 study. “This was the only thing that fit with the huge difference in prevalence.”

【推荐1】Bird flu has reached new areas of the world and has become a year-round problem, animal and disease experts warn.
More than 20 experts and farmers on four continents spoke to a news agency about the problem. They suggested that record outbreaks will not stop soon on poultry (家禽) farms. They also warned that farmers must view the disease as a serious risk all year, instead of doing prevention efforts during spring movement seasons for wild birds. The outbreaks of the virus (病毒) have continued through the summer heat and winter cold in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Egg prices set records after the disease killed tens of millions of chickens last year. These record prices, at a time of worldwide economic problems, are especially damaging to people who use eggs as a main source of protein.
Wild birds are mainly responsible for spreading the virus, experts say. Waterfowl like ducks can carry the disease without dying and pass it to poultry through waste, saliva (唾液) and other ways. Farmers’ best efforts to protect their birds are not enough.
“In the US, Rose Acre Farms, the country’s second-largest egg producer, lost about 1. 5 million chickens at a Guthrie County, Iowa, production farm last year. These losses occurred even though anyone who entered barns was required to shower first to remove any sign of the virus,” Chief Executive Marcus Rust said.
The US, Britain, France and Japan are among the countries that have suffered record losses of poultry over the past year, leaving some farmers feeling helpless.
“Avian flu is occurring even in a new poultry farm with modern equipment and no windows, so we don’t know what to do to avoid an outbreak,” said Shigeo Inaba, who raises chickens for meat in Ibaraki, near Tokyo.

【推荐2】In recent years, as science has evolved, it has become clear that depression is not just a chemical imbalance. It’s much more complex, and increasingly, a body of evidence points to the importance of habits and behaviors to prevent symptoms of depression.
Rest is powerful. Sleeping seven to nine hours per night, on average, reduced the risk of depression by about 22% in the study. Not only does sleep help us remember what we’ve learned during the day, but research shows it plays a key role in keeping our immune systems strong.
Exercise is a cure. A recent meta-analysis found that physical activity was more effective than medications in reducing symptoms of depression. Though antidepressant (抗抑郁的) medicines tend to be faster in treating an episode of depression, physical exercise has more durable effects than an antidepressant does. For some people, medication gives them a benefit in the beginning, but then it fades over time.
Reducing sedentary (久坐不动的) time is a must. While enjoying your favorite streaming shows can be fun, making it a daily habit likely means you’re spending too much time sitting on the couch without interacting with people or being active. Extended periods of inactivity independently increase the risk of depression.
| A．Good eating habit is a necessity. |
| B．Inadequate nutrition is a risky choice. |
| C．The risk is present regardless of how much exercise you do. |
| D．Following these habits can cut the risk of depression by 57%. |
| E．Sleep is not a passive process but an incredibly active process. |
| F．For instance, a well-rested person is better at resisting the common cold. |
| G．However, a lifestyle change can have a more permanent and lasting effect. |
【推荐3】If you think memory problems are the preserve of the elderly, forget it. Young people frequently struggle to remember things too. A British study shows that the memory lapses (记忆差错) were as common among those in their twenties as in the 50-somethings.
Dr. MeWhirter, a neuropsychiatrist at the University of Edinburgh, questioned 124 healthy adults aged between 18 and 59 on how good they thought their memory was and how often they experienced memory lapses. Only 13 percent rated their memory as excellent. Half of respondents said they forgot why they had entered a room at least once a week and 40 per cent misplaced their mobile phone at least weekly. Some 48 per cent forgot to buy items on their shopping list at least once a week and 18 percent had had a mental blank over their PIN,
The researcher said we should not worry about memory lapses so much when we are older because we also have them when we are younger - in other words, memory problems are not always the first sign of dementia(痴呆).
Dr. MeWhirter said: "A lot of people will think that if you are starting to forget thing, it is something to worry about, but it is normal. It is just a function of how the brain works. You can only remember something if you properly attend to it. If you are doing lots of different things and not concentrating when you get in and just put your keys down somewhere, you may well forget where you have put them."
Dr. MeWhirter added that although someone in the early stages of dementia would have memory lapses, they would lend lo be unaware of them. In contrast, a healthy person would be able to remember that they had forgotten their keys last week. Other signs of concern include becoming lost, asking the same thing repeatedly and having difficulty with cooking and multitasking.

【推荐1】I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there's the “thousand talent scheme.” this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China's research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It's not that simple.

【推荐2】You might be familiar with the experience of looking through your Facebook,only to feel like everyone else's life is better than yours．
But such "social comparisons" may be connected with a higher likelihood of having depression．That's one finding from a new study that proved social media behavior has a connection with the mental(精神的)health condition．
In the study, the researchers studies information from around 500 undergraduate students who actively used Facebook,Twitter,Instagram or Snapchat and completed an online survey to examine certain social media behavior,as well as symptoms (症状)of depression．
The researchers found that people's reasons for using social media -whether it was out of boredom,or for entertainment or news -were not connected with depression.But how they were using social media was,indeed,connected to the condition．
The finding that people with depression were less likely to post photos of themselves with others may be related to the tendency (倾向)for people with depression to isolate themselves,said Anthony Bobinson,a psychology student at Texas State University．
In any case,it's not good to compare yourself to others who seem "better off" than you，Bobinson added."People want to make themselves look better off than they really are on social media" He said."This is not someone's 'real life. It's important to recognize that．"
The researchers also stressed that their findings didn't mean that social media use is necessarily a bad thing．
"I don't think it's always bad," Howard,one of the researchers,said."It can be bad,but it can also provide social support．It can give people a way to be around people that are similar to them." Finally，Howard hopes the study leads to ideas that may teach people how to use technology better rather than taking it away．

【推荐3】Ever order a drink, and feel cheated on the pour? Before you trouble the waiter, take a closer look at the size of your glass. “People will generally think there being less in larger containers, than in smaller ones.” Says Theresa Marteau, a behavioral scientist at the University of Cambridge, in England.
She and her workmates had analyzed（分析）how larger amounts—and larger plates—trick us into eating more food. And they wondered: could the same be true for alcohol?
So the researchers convinced the employees at a local bar to run an experiment: every two weeks, for four months, they’d change the bars wine glasses from the standard 300 milliliter size, to either slightly larger—370 milliliters, or slightly smaller—250 milliliters. They saw how the size of the glass affected customers’ drinking habits, even though the pour, the amount of alcoholic drinks, was unchanged.
It turned out that serving wine in smaller glasses had no measurable effect. But the large glasses increased wine sales 10 percent-even after controlling for day of the week, temperature, holidays and so on. The reason? “When the wine, the same amount, is being served in a larger glass, people are probably thinking they’ve got less in there.” Which, she says, means they might drink more, believing they haven’t hit their nightly limit. Or, they might just feel less satisfied with the pour, and buy another round. The study appears in the journal BMC Public Health.
Marteau says that, if later studies confirm this effect, public health officials might consider directing a certain average glass size. “Stating clearly the largest size in which wine can be sold could be a measure to reduce the overconsumption（过度消耗）of alcohol that seems to be shown by the glass size.” Until that happens, the bar in the study now always serves its wine in the larger glasses.

【推荐1】Cities are noisy, dirty, and full of traffic jams. But they don’t have to be that way. In a “smart” city, electronic sensors collect data on everything from traffic patterns and electricity usage to noise and light levels. Computer programs continuously analyze this data to find patterns and report important information. If you lived in a place like this, you’d be able to find out what’s happening at any location, right now. You might want to know how many people are at the local park, or how windy it is at the beach, or whether you’ll run into any construction projects as you bike to school. A smart city could deliver instant answers via an app on your mobile device.
Singapore, a city in Southeast Asia, already uses sensor systems. All 11,000 taxis in the city regularly report their speed, location, and direction through their GPS systems. Cameras throughout the city take pictures of traffic conditions. Website and apps share information about what’s happening on the city's roads, right now.
In New York City, some trashcans have sensors that send out an alert when they need to be emptied. These sensors also collect weather information. The city of Chicago plans to install dozens of sensors in 2016. The project, called “Array of Things,” will capture data on the current levels of light, noise, rain, heat, and wind around the city.
Originally, project organizers planned to check for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals coming from cell phones. But this plan made many citizens uncomfortable. Some worried that the sensors would dig into personal data on their phones or even identify individuals as they walked past. Organizers said they would not identify or track anyone, but they still changed the plan. Sensors will now analyze images from a camera in order to count people. Images will be deleted after the count is complete.
What do you think? Life in a smart city sounds convenient. But some of the data the city tracks may be about you. How much information are you willing to share?
1. Which is NOT the main feature in a “smart” city?| A．Electronic sensors. | B．Computer programs. |

Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land, they are ready to love their people or community. This is the second most important thing of friendship. It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language, which means “oneness with all people”. To enjoy the land you should not be selfish. The land is for everyone who lives on. Today many different people call Hawaii their home. Indeed, Hawaii is a place where people make one big community from many smaller communities. Each person gives kokua(help) to other people so that all feel stronger. It is believed that the islands can be a paradise(天堂) when people live in peace. People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea. When problems happen, people are asked to solve them with understanding. So when people of Hawaii talk about ohana(family), they are really talking about all those who live on the island.
Living in peace, Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship. This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another. The lei, a string of flowers, is put over a friend’s neck. Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek. Visitors to the islands are also given leis. When they hear aloha, visitors began to feel at home. Aloha also means “goodbye”, so visitors will hear it again when they leave. It can mean “our hearts singing together”. Perhaps this is how most visitors will remember their new friendship.
1. Which of the following can be the proper title for this text?
| A．People in Hawaii | B．Visitors to Hawaii |

【推荐3】What picture do you have of the future？Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now？What do you hope about the future?
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television. By 2050，music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.
In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now. In transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.
In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be able to do these things—but should they?

【推荐3】Imagine this: your child has just been involved in an emergency. You call 911. The medical workers rush in and begin asking you questions as they work to rescue your child. But they also ask questions about your child’s medical history. It’s hard to think clearly. You begin to answer and then end up saying, “I don’t remember. I don’t know.” So many doctors suggest that parents keep handy a record of their children’s important healthy facts. This can often help the medical team make a better and more rapid diagnosis of a problem at a time when time really counts.
The most important information to know is the child’s allergies (过敏). It is especially crucial if the child is allergic to any medicine — penicillin, for example. Food allergies can come into play, so make a note of those as well. Children who have been hospitalized in the past may have developed latex (胶乳) allergies. Often this information can help emergency workers find a cause for problems like breathing difficulties.
Keep a list of any medicine, including what your child is now taking. Some medicines can cause adverse reaction when they are taken together, so the doctors need this information before they give your child anything. You’ll need to know when the child took the medicine last and how much was taken.
It is also important to tell emergency workers about any health problem or illness that your child has had. These pre-existing conditions can have a huge effect on the type of tests and treatment in an emergency. Consider having any child who has a health problem wear a tag around his neck. This kind of rapid notice can help doctors who are providing emergency care, especially if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care, school or a friend’s house.
1. What’s the function of the example in paragraph 1?| A．To tell us what we should do in an emergency. |
