W: Welcome to Newtown, boys and girls. Now let me introduce the main shopping places in Newtown. There

are two supermarkets: Coopers, selling all kinds of food, is only five minutes’ walk from the college and has a large car park; Shopsmart, on the edge of town, is bigger and usually has the most competitive prices, but is difficult to get to. It is best to buy fresh fruit and vegetables in the market, which is held every day apart from Sunday.

In Bridge Street, there are four bookshops, where you’ll find a good range of dictionaries. For those on a tight budget, there is Mass—a huge shop selling study materials, where you can buy everything from files and pens to software. There is a small bookshop in the college, which also sells basic things like paper.

Newtown doesn’t have as many souvenir shops as London, but the castle has its own shop, and so does the museum. Anyway, I hope this talk will be useful for you and I wish you a pleasant stay.

【题目】 The time children spend outdoors could be linked to a reduced risk of being short-sighted, research suggests.

An analysis of eight previous studies by University of Cambridge researchers found that for each additional hour spent outside per week, the risk of short-sightedness was reduced by 2%.They said exposure to natural light and time spent looking at distant objects could be key factors.

The studies involved more than 10,000 children and adolescents. Dr Justin Sherwin and his research team concluded that short-sighted children spent an average of 3.7 fewer hours per week outdoors than those who either had normal vision or were far-sighted.

But they said the reasons were not yet clear. They expected to find that children who spent more time outdoors also spent less time doing activities like reading, studying or playing computer games, but no such link was found in two of the eight studies which looked at this relationship.

However, Dr Sherwin said they would now need more precise data to try to understand which factors, such as increased use of distance vision, reduced use of near vision, natural ultraviolet(紫外线的) light exposure and physical activity, are most important.

“Any increase in time spent outdoors must be weighed against exposure to ultraviolet radiation and the increased risk of skin cancer, cataracts(白内障)and other cancers.” he said."On the other hand, increasing outdoor physical activity could protect against diabetes and obesity, for example."

Short-sightedness is a common eye condition that causes distant objects to appear blurred(模糊不清的), while close objects can be seen clearly. It is much more common today in the UK and the United States than it was just 30 to 40 years ago. Approximately 1-2% of five-year-olds to seven-year-olds in the UK have short-sightedness. About. five million British people are short-sighted and some 200,000 of them will be seriously short-sighted. In some parts of Asia, more than 80% of the population suffers from short-sightedness.

2According to the passage, short-sightedness may have something to do with the following except .

3The last paragraph is mainly developed by .

C.presenting argumentsD.making comparisons

【题目】Researchers found that walking around with a forced smile and fake happiness simply leads to people feeling unhappier. So, putting a brave face on your sadness could be harmful. The research also found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy.

Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can result in bad outcomes. He said, “Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional tiredness, and that’s bad for the organization.” He also said the research showed customer-service workers who had “fake smiles” throughout the day didn’t want to work, so their productivity dropped.

The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional expressions over a period of time and compare the different effects on men and women. Dr. Scott’s team examined the effects of “surface acting”, or fake smiling, compared to “deep acting”, or making people smile by thinking of pleasant memories.

Dr. Scott said, “Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even more than men’s. However, they were helped more by deep acting, which means their moods improved more by thinking of pleasant memories.”

According to Dr. Scott women tend to suffer more when pretending to be happy because they are expected to be more emotionally expressive than men. Therefore, forcing a smile while feeling down is more likely to go against their normal behavior and cause more harmful feelings.

Although deep acting can improve moods a little in the short term, Dr. Scott says it’s not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy. There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period you start to feel unreal. You’re trying to develop positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself any more.

1Dr. Scott’s findings may be important to some employers because .

A. their workers don’t want to work all the time

B. they want more female workers than male workers

C. their workers worsen their moods at the end of the day

D. they tend to force their workers to smile in public

2According to the passage, Dr. Scott’s study .

A. is meaningful as there haven’t been many similar ones before

B. aimed to make people more productive

C. examined more women than men

D. is supported by some big employers

3It is implied in the passage that deep acting .

A. cannot improve our moods at all B. does harm to our feelings in the long run

C. makes people happy by feeling like another person D. has no effect on men

4What is the best title for the passage?

A. An important suggestion for workers. B. Women shouldn’t be forced to smile.

C. Fake smiling makes people unhappy. D. Why people don’t want to work.
