       As more students begin to use computers for longer periods of time, more of them are suffering from eyestrain (视疲劳).Just a few hours in front of a computer screen can make a person's eyes feel tired and painful.A number of eye doctors have studied this growing problem and have found ways to deal with it.Following their advice will help keep computer users more comfortable.Here is some of the advice.

       The light in a room shouldn't be brighter than the computer screen itself.In many classrooms, however, the lights are far brighter than they should be..Students can block some of this light by wearing baseball caps if they're allowed at school.

       A special computer screen should be used to cut down on bright light because it is especially tiring to the eyes.Another problem to avoid is the wrong kind of contrast.It is best to have dark letters on a light background.This causes less eyestrain than light letters on a dark background.

       Students should be seated so that they are looking down at the computer screen rather than straight ahead, which is a far more tiring angle.The top of the monitor should be slightly lower than the top of the head.

       The length of time students spend in front of a computer screen leads greatly to eyestrain.Students should take frequent breaks by looking away from the screen every fifteen or twenty minutes.During

that time they should either close there eyes or focus on an object at a distance. Long – term computer use can dry out the eyes, so students should remember to blink frequently while in front of the screen.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students who would be my English literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years, I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “stand up!” The entire class rose as I entered the room and I was somewhat puzzled about how to get them to sit down again, but once the embarrassment (尴尬) was over, I quickly regained my calmness and admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement.
My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a similar theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire Western philosophy (哲学) and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class.” I complained. “How should they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
However, I also learned a lot, and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class.
