He now believes the social networking service with saving his life. The 28－year－old was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症) nine years ago and has relied on a wheelchair ever since.On July 15，2015，Thomas was getting ready for bed in his apartment，when a shelving(架子) fell onto his wheelchair and knocked him over，causing him to fall and hit the back of his head. After waking up from a few minutes of coma(昏迷)，he realized he couldn't reach the string used to get the doorkeeper's attention.His phone was nearby and had the Facebook application conveniently open，so he posted a status update that immediately got his friends worried—even some he hadn't spoken to in years. “It was amazing，friends from six different states who didn't know each other were connecting with each other to get me help，” Thomas said.“Now that's the power of social media! You havehundreds of people at your fingertips.”Eight minutes after the status went up，an old friend，Leah，got in contact with Thomas' friend Brad，whose wife was in the neighborhood，and before you knew it there were 12 Facebook friends in his apartment，who took him to the hospital at once. They showed up to the rescue at the perfect time. Minutes before they arrived，Thomas thought he was going to have a panic attack，which he often suffers from because of his illness，but he's doing better now.“It felt good to know that my friends，even those I haven't spoken to in the past，came to save me，” Thomas said.“They all came together.I would've never imagined it.”24．What did Chris Thomas do with Facebook in the past?A．To sell his products online.

The disease was caused by excessive（过度的）eye fatigue（疲劳）during the winter vacation, during which he played computer games for continuous 10 days and nights.Many youngsters in China nowadays are increasingly addicted to computer games and other electronic products. This is followed by a series of health problems, with the most typical case being myopia, or nearsightedness.According to the latest research report released by the World Health Organization (WHO),the myopia rate among Chinese teenagers ranks first in the world—70 percent of high school andcollege students. The rate is nearly 40 percent in primary school students, while it is only 10 percent for their peers in the United States.There are at least 10 million people in China with severe myopia, and they are likely to get pathological（病理性的）myopia in middle age. Pathological myopia can't be treated with glasses or surgery, and it is one of the biggest factors that lead to blindness, Xu Xun, director of the ophthalmology（眼科学）department at Shanghai General Hospital, pointed out.Experts explain that two major factors lead to the high rate of myopia among Chinese people. One is high academic pressure, and the other one is excessive use of electronic devices over a long period of time .Genetics, on the other hand, are not the main reason, as only 20 percent of Chinese people had myopia in the 1960s."Teenagers are now faced with severe academic pressure, which means they often study without natural light. This increases their risk of becoming nearsighted," Xu said.Experts suggest that youngsters maintain a proper balance between study and rest so as to protect their eyesight, and parents should play an active role in the process.28. Why does the author mention Feifei's experience in the first paragraph?A. To advise people to protect their eyes.B. To introduce the topic of nearsightedness.C.

There are more nearsighted students in the United States.C. Pathological myopia is most likely to cause blindnessD. 70 percent Chinese students in primary school are nearsighted..30. Which of the following can be a main reason for myopia?A. Genetics factors.B. Low academic pressure.C. Reading in natural lightD. Overuse of electronic devices..31. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?A. The significance of protecting eyesight.B. Parents’ role in helping youngsters protect the ir eyesight.C. The relationship between youngsters and their parents.D.
