A new University College London-led study finds that staring at a deep red light for three minutes a day can greatly improve declining (下降) eyesight.
Scientists believe the discovery, published in the Journal of Gerontology, could signal the dawn of new affordable home-based eye therapies (治疗) helping millions of people globally with naturally declining vision.
Doctors say a three-minute daily does of the special red light for two weeks could help improve age-related vision problems. However, they say not any red light will help improve eyesight. The lead author, Professor Glen Jeffery said, "I strongly suggest that people should not just go and buy a red light online. They have to produce the right wavelength. We are looking for a commercial partner to do this and to price them at $20 to $25."
The study was carried out by a team from University College London. Researchers conducted tests on 24 men and women aged between 28 and 72. They said some cells that could help us process light had become worse in the older people. Doctors say the red light improved the ability of these people to detect different colors, particularly blue. The vision of these older people improved by as much as 22 percent, Jeffrey said, "Populations are ageing rapidly and this is going to be a major issue in the future. We need to get ready for this." He added, "If you can't see clearly, you can't read or watch TV. You also tend to fall down and break bones. Our lights are a step in this direction."
【1】What is the function of Paragraph1?
A.To lead to the main topic.
B.To discuss the study.
C.To introduce a university.
D.To give some advice.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.Red light only lasts three minutes.
B.The red light with the right wavelength can be helpful.
C.Everyone needs to buy a red light online.
D.Doctors need partners to sell red lights.
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The problem of populations.
B.The process and results of the study.
C.The vision of the old people.
D.The usage of different colors.
【4】Where does the passage most probably come from?

27、Japan’s youth are losing interest in science and as a result, threatening the nation’s industrial progress. According to Japan Science and Technology Agency, young Japanese are surrounded by high-tech devices(设备), but are not interested in how they work.
Japanese businesses have succeeded partly because they’ve a great many engineers. A drop in interest could lead to a decline(减少) in their numbers and quality. "In the past, the young had a big interest in science and technology," said Hirano, director of the agency’s policy department.
There are two main reasons for the problem. The first is known as "black box syndrome" of modern technology.
Electronic devices depend on tiny silicon chips(芯片), which can only be made in big factories, whose workings can’t be seen by the eyes. The devices, unlike machines of the past driven by gears and wheels, are simply boxes.
Young Japanese, brought up on video games and at home with computers, enjoy using modern technology, but this is a passive interest and different from the interest in how things work. "You need an active interest to get interested in science. This is declining in the young," said Hirano.
About two-thirds of Japanese in their 20s use PCs, twice the number of those in their 50s. But only 40% of those in their 20s say they are interested in news about science and technology, compared to 60% of the 50 to 60 year olds.
"Another reason for it is that life in modern Japan is too comfortable," he said. "A wealthy society reduces people’s desire to modernize and develop their country. To a degree, you can’t avoid this when the fruits of science and technology are fully developed." Similarly, science in Europe and the US has also suffered a lack of interest.
【1】Japanese youth’s interest in science is dropping probably because ________.
A. scientists don’t make much money in Japan
B. there are too many scientists in Japan already
C. they’re not interested in how high-tech devices work
D. science is more difficult for young people to learn
【2】The underlined word "their" (in Para. 2) refers to ________.
A. Japanese engineers’
B. Japanese businesses’
C. Japan’s young people’s
D. high-tech devices’
【3】Why does science meet the same problem in Japan, the US and Europe?
A. People believe they don’t need to develop their science any more.
B. People are satisfied with the comfortable life high-tech devices bring to them.
C. People think high-tech devices destroy the environment.
D. People don’t want to live the modernized life.
【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Older people are probably more interested in science in Japan.
B. About one-third of Japanese people in their 50s use computers.
C. Japan’s youth live too comfortably to take interest in science.
D. Electronic devices are made of parts that can not be seen at all.
28、Public health emergencies are a fact of life in a world as interconnected as ours. In just the past five years we have witnessed unexpected outbreaks of fatal diseases — Ebola, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika — each of which has spread far beyond its historical geographical range. No one can say what the next large-scale emergency will be, whom it will affect or when it will strike, but we do know that it is inevitable. Yet the U.S. is unprepared to meet this threat because it does not set aside money to beat back an outbreak before it can spread.
The U.S. used to have a national public health emergency fund, first created in the 1980s, but its balance has since decreased to $57,000 — enough to buy a few thousand first aid kits but not much else. What we need is more on the order of several hundred million to $1 billion in new funding that is always and immediately available and is refilled whenever it becomes drained.
An organization is already in place to deal with natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is pre-authorized to set aside hundreds of millions of dollars to pay for debris removal, for example, when state or local budgets become stressed by a weather emergency.
Creating a similar “rainy day” fund — and providing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with permission to use it in advance, without needing to go to the Congress could save lives and money, both at home and overseas. The idea behind an emergency fund is not to displace efforts to fight infectious disease but to increase them to meet an urgent temporary need. During an outbreak, the CDC can call on many doctors and nurses to work without pay, but the costs of transportation, medical supplies and protective equipment still have to be covered. The increase in patients typically increases the need for laboratory testing — extra requirements that can be met by short-term contracts with commercial companies.
【1】According to the author, what does today’s interconnectedness lead to?
A.Fatal diseases spread farther than they used to.
B.Better preparations are made to fight diseases.
C.There are more disease outbreaks than before.
D.We can predict when the next emergency will strike.
【2】What does the author imply about the U.S’s national public health emergency fund?
A.It was created too late.
B.It has worked well before.
C.It can’t meet today’s needs.
D.It can’t deal with natural disease.
【3】Which statement about a “rainy day” fund is the author most likely to agree with?
A.The fund can save more lives at home than abroad during an emergency.
B.Efforts to fight fatal diseases have been displaced due to the misuse of the fund.
C.Most infectious diseases could have been prevented if the fund had been in place.
D.CDC can decide how to use the fund for emergencies without further permission.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.What can be achieved with a pre-weather emergency fund.
B.Why it is almost impossible to avoid future disease outbreaks.
C.Why it is especially important to fight infectious diseases now.
D.What can be done to minimize the danger of disease outbreaks.
29、You love your parents, but have you felt that they are a bit too pushy? Since you started going to school, they have been taking care of all your activities. They want to come to the classroom every day, keep an eye on whom you talk to, know the friends you make, start telling you how to study well, and keep talking to you about everything under the sun. What’s more, they want to send you to various hobby classes, as they want you to be good in every field.
If so, what should you do? They are your parents, they will always want you to be the best, and will try their best to give you the best. So respect them. You are just so small that you even don’t know how big the world is, so it’s okay to leave the major decision-making to your parents.
If you feel that they are coming to your school almost every day and asking your teachers some questions, then you can always make them understand you are doing well in school, and there is nothing to worry about. If they expect you to train in football and go for your piano lessons as well, then you can gently tell them that you can not do many things at the same time. If talks are not helping, you can always talk with your teacher, and ask him/her to explain your problem to your parents, which can be helpful to solve the problem.
In a word, pushy parents aren’t all that bad. Remember they always love you and will never plan anything wrong for you. So, be ready for an open communication, whenever you feel there are differences of opinion.
【1】How many examples does the author use to show the parents’ pushiness?
A.Three.
B.Four.

B.Parents are always the people who want to give you the best.
C.Pushy parents may also plan something wrong for your study.

【3】How should you deal with your pushy parents?
A.Try to do whatever they tell you to do.
B.Try to show your strong points in your studies.
C.Stay away from them when they get angry.
