24、   Our lives have become more digital (数字的) in the modern world. We can study, find information and communicate with friends through computers and phones. However, spending a lot of time working, reading, texting and gaming through digital devices (设备) is bad for our eyes.

According to the American Optometric Association, 70 to 75 percent of computer workers have eye problems.

Digital eyestrain (眼睛疲劳) is one of the most common problems. People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain and other problems.

These problems have started to increase among children. "Children get cellphones at younger ages and are using them very often during the day," Sarah Hinkley, spokeswoman (女发言人) for the American Optometric Association, told USA Today.

The good news is that there are many things you can do to reduce digital eyestrain. When using a computer, first sit in your chair and reach out your arm. Your hand should rest comfortably on the screen, as if you're high-fiving the screen. Increase text size until your eyes feel comfortable.

When you are using a mobile phone, keep it at least 30 cm from your eyes and just below eye level. Try not to use it under sunlight.

Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.

【1】What can we know from Sarah Hinkley?

A.Children can easily get eyestrain. B.Children shouldn't use cellphones.

C.More children are experiencing digital eyestrain. D.Using cell phones can cause many problems.

【2】When we use phones, we should ________.

A.use them under sunlight B.turn off the lights

C.keep them just below eye level D.keep them close to our eyes

【3】The story gives suggestions about ________.

a. how to use computers safely

b. how to use phones safely

c. when to take breaks from electronic devices

d. how to clean your eyes

A.abc B.abd C.acd D.bcd

The changes in our lives using 5G（使用5G给我们生活带来的变化）

Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation（代）of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.

China just issued commercial licenses（发放商用牌照）for 5G on June 6. This means that China’s telecom companies were soon able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.

Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?

5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒) to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less—this is almost real-time.

This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.

5G+ entertainment(娱乐)

5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.

Also, virtual reality(VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.

5G+ transportation

5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals(信号) to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors(传感器). 5G will allow cars to react even faster than human drivers.

5G+ smart homes

5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.

For example, your toaster can automatically(自动地) start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler could water your plants by itself.

【1】What happened on the sixth day of June according to the passage?

A．5G came into use

B．China issued commercial licenses.

C．Mobile phone users could talk to each other.

D．5G delayed between sending and receiving information.

【2】What does the underlined word "delay" in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?

A．延时

B．暂停

C．断开

D．卡顿

【3】5G will change people's lives in many ways EXCEPT _______.

A．entertainment

B．transportation

C．smart homes

D．health

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．We can download a movie faster with 5G.

B．Human drivers can send signals at traffic lights.

C．The plants can water themselves by a smart sprinkler with 5G.

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A．Mobile phone users can use 5G networks.

B．Each mobile network generation has their own advantages.

C．5G will change our lives in many ways.

D．5G will bring us safer self-driving cars.

27、   There once lived a man with his wife and children in a very small house. There was always noise in his house as his children played, laughed and sang. He could find no peace at all.

Life in this noisy house was unbearable (无法容忍的). So the man decided to turn to a wise old woman nearby. He told her about his problem. As she was a wise lady, she had an answer for him at once.

“Go home and bring all of your farm animals to live in your house,” advised the woman. “Bring in your sheep, horses, cows, chickens…” The man thought it was not a good idea.
