【推荐3】Martina’s Grandpa Peter lived with the family after Grandma’s death.

One day, Mom Susan decided to do the spring cleaning. They cleaned the house until everything was clean. Then Mom pointed to Grandpa’s sofa and said, “That old sofa has got to go. We’ll buy Grandpa a new one.”

But as they moved the sofa, Grandpa stopped them and shouted, “You can’t take my sofa! I don’t want a new one.” Mom had to say, “We will talk about it tonight when John gets home.” John, Martina’s dad, was still at work.

“Grandpa, why don’t you let us take away the sofa?” Martina asked at supper. Grandpa shook his head, “I sat in this sofa, with your grandma, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes, she seems to be near.”

“It’s surprising!” Martina thought, “How Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything.”

Grandpa smiled to Martina, “The night your father was born, I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the little baby into my arms.”

“Many years later,” Grandpa continued, “I sat in this sofa when the doctor told me your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the sofa gave me the comfort.”

【推荐2】In the big cities of Europe and America — London, Paris, New York, people are moving out of the city. They are usually rich families with much money, and they want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noises and the dirty air of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that is not polluted.
So they move out. Some don’t move very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to real countryside, with sheep, cows and horses, and green fields! There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people feel that it was a big mistake. There isn’t much to do. Country people are very different and aren’t always friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say. “I’m so glad I’m back in the city!” (203)

【推荐3】If you need glasses to read this, you are among most of Chinese students. About four-fifths of high school students in China have poor eyesight(视力). And now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.
Two main reasons can cause poor eyesight: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. They have less time to enjoy the sun.
The sun, it turns out, is important in developing good eyesight. According to a study by Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about forty percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do.
And poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term influence. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen.
With all that in mind, don’t you think it’s time to give your eyes a break.
1. How many high school students have poor eyesight in China according to the reading

A．A half of them.	B．Three percent of them.
C．Forty percent of them.	D．Four-fifths of them.

2. Which can cause poor eyesight according to the reading

A．Like reading and writing very much.	B．Spend too much time enjoying the sun.
C．Spend too much time indoors studying.	D．Start primary school at a young age.

3. What can we learn from the third paragraph

A．Primary school studying can be very harmful to young students.

B．Australian children spend more time outdoors than Chinese children.

C．After primary school, children in China and Australia have the same eyesight.
