Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:· Schedule yearly exams. 21 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.· Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses.22 ·Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using puters or other digital products. 23Experts remend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. ·24As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.·Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. 25 Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.A.

There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and strong. They could kill dinosaurs.There may be other reasons that we don't know about yet. Scientists are are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.There were also terrible rights between dinosaurs. They night have happened more than 100 million years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be told by the animal's footprints (足迹) that fights did take place.( )5.

The African elephant is the biggest of all land animals. It may be more than 12 feet tall and weigh over 6 tons. the Indian elephant is a foot or so shorter and weighs less, but it still huge. The African elephant has bigger ears, longer tusks and a flatter head.Like all other mammals, elephants have hair,but adults have very little. Young ones have much more. Most elephants are members of a herd(群). The herds wander about while hunting. All elephants are plant eaters. They gather grass and leaves with their trunks and dig up roots with their sharp tusks. An elephant needs several hundred pounds of food and over 30 gallons of water a day. It uses its trunk to put food and water into its mouth. Since its trunk is its nose, it also breathes through it.People have a number of mistaken ideas about elephants. One is that elephants never forget. Elephants have large brains and very intelligent, but they forget just as we do.Another mistaken idea is that elephants outlive people. Actually, few live more than 70. There are no elephant graveyards, places where elephants supposedly go when they die. And the so-called pygmy elephant(侏儒象) are really African elephants that live in the forest and are not as big as those who live in the bush.In Asia people have used elephants for working and hunting for centuries.Rulers there have been proud of their royal elephants. African elephants are seldom tamed, and the idea has grown up that they cannot be. This is another wrong idea. Jumbo, the famous circus(马戏团) elephant was an African elephant. And in early times African elephants served as war horses.The elephants of today are remnants(残余) of a much large group. Fossils of hundreds of kinds have been found.( )9.What is special about young elephants ?A.They like living in a big group.B.They have more hair than adults.C.They are shorter and very weak.D.They have much flatter heads.( )10.What is the second paragraphy mainly about ?A.The living habits of elephants.B.The hair and trunks of elephants.C.The importance of the tusks.D.How elephants eat their food.( )11.What does the underlined word “outlive” in Paragraphy3 probably mean ?A.AttackB.Make friends withC.Serve forD.live longer than( )12.Which of the following is NOT the mistaken idea about elephants?A.They are plant eatersB.They never gorget.C.They outlive people.D.They cannot be tamed.DOnline shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2013 holiday season 58 percent of those shopping online were women.“It shows how popu lar the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift-buying population this time around. However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2013. They worried about credit card security(信用卡安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don't buy online, websites are becoming promotion(促销) tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores, websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensurethat gifts arrive on time.“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient(效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.( )13.Which of the following statements is true?A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2013.B.More women shopped online than men in 2013.C.Most of the Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were women.D.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online( )14.What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean?A.关闭B.推迟C.匆忙D.起飞( )15.According to Dan Hess, shopping online is_______.A.unsafeB.convenientC.a waste of moneyD.cheaper第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。
