2 . The sun rises and sets at peak travel periods, during the early morning and afternoon rush hours and many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the glare of the sun, which accounts for countless accidents every year.

Protecting your eyes is serious business. However, with all the fancy fashion frames out there it can be easy to ignore what really matters—the lenses (镜片). So we did our research and looked to the very best in optic (光学的) technology. Now NASA's Jet Protection Laboratory has brought forward ground-breaking technology to help protect human eyesight from the harmful effects of solar radiation light. This superior lens technology was first discovered when NASA scientists look to nature for a means to superior eye protection—specially, by studying the eyes of eagles, known for their extreme sharp visual ability. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes.

Eagle Eyes features the most advanced eye protection technology ever created. The TriLenium Lens Technology can block 99.99% UVA and UVB-plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. Eagle Eyes is the only optic technology that has earned official recognition for the Space Certification Program for this remarkable technology.

9 . Shared electric scooter(电动滑板车) programs have appeared in cities across the world, spreading out across sidewalks and allowing users to check them out with their phones and return them wherever they like.

The scooter programs have been controversial. Critics say they are resulting in many injuries and even deaths, and that they are becoming a new form of urban litter as they block sidewalks for pedestrians(行人). Now, a new study is introducing a new criticism targeting one of the program's main selling points ---the idea that scooters are good for the environment.

The study by researchers at North Carolina State University looks at the whole lifecycle of the vehicles---from production to disposal. Most importantly, it looks at the process of having to constantly gather and recharge the scooters. The study found that a one-mile (1.6) kilometres’ trip on an electric scooter generally produces more greenhouse gases than riding a bus.

The researchers said they decided to conduct the study after finding slogan(口号) on scooter from the company Lime saying, “your ride is carbon-free.” But that`s not the case. The scooters tend to have a short life. Some are abandoned after being broken, and there have been reports of them being thrown into rivers or canals. The producing process accounts for about half of the scooter's emissions(排放). The other half is emitted in the gathering and recharging process.

"Roughly two-thirds of the time, scooter rides generate more greenhouse gas emissions than the alternative,"the study's authors said, adding that the emissions produced by shared scooter riders are greater than car riders.

The study recommends that the programs use electric vehicles to collect the scooters--- doing so only when they are used up, reduce the distances between collection and storage points, and use more recycled materials in production in order to reduce their emissions. Requiring users to return the scooters to docks, rather than leaving them anywhere, would also greatly reduce emissions---though it would obviously reduce the scooters' convenience appeal.

3. Why did the researchers conduct the study?

A．To question a slogan.	B．To make a choice.
C．To establish a theory.	D．To support a concept,

4. What's the purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To make some comments.	B．To offer some suggestions.

10 . How the over 50s are changing the face of fashion?

You won’t be surprised to hear that the fashion industry has often been accused of being ageist(歧视老人的).     1    

Skinny models, often barely out of childhood, dominate(支配,控制) the style magazines and sites we read and on the catwalks of fashion shows. As soon as a woman hits a certain age, it seems that brands simply stop thinking about her, as if she loses her appetite for fashion and style.    2     There is now evidence that the fashion industry is finally waking up to the desires and power of the so-called older women and moving away from their focus on youth. Over 50s are now changing the face of fashion.

    3     Not just responding in the way we want to look, but the way we feel about things. We all know how models tended to look in the past—thin, tall, young and in the main, white. But nowadays models of color, and “plus-size” are now far more popular, which contributes to a great change in fashion.    4     That can be seen in magazines and on the runways of fashion shows. Recent Fashion Weeks in New York, Milan and London have seen their catwalks graced by over 50s models such as Patti Hansen, and Tatjana Patitz.

Meanwhile, more and more mature women are taking the bull by the horns and their influence is becoming ever more important. The fashion industry can no longer ignore them, and as a result, trends and styles are becoming suitable for all ages. Being over 50 no longer means they can’t get and wear fashionable clothes from famous brands like Alexander McQueen.    5    

A．However, the times are changing.

B．The old are still a huge market for fashion.

C．Fashion is clearly responding to the times we live in.

D．Certainly it’s clear that historically fashion has targeted youth.

E．And without doubt, older women are part of this great change as well.

F．Unexpectedly, clothes suddenly become more generously cut, looser and less fashionable.

G．Instead, these women have got the attitude, the confidence and the money to buy them and wear them.
