11．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．（16）B Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months 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．（17）C
Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．（18）G Experts advised that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20-second break and look at something 20feet away．

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．（20）F Otherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．

5．The first of the 2015 Nobel Prizes has been announc ed．Sweden's Nobel Prize committee said the Nobel Prize for medicine would go to Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan for their discoveries concerning a therapy against malaria（疟疾）．The prize for medicine was also going to Chinese researcher Tu Youyou．Campbell and Omura were honored for their anti-roundworm treatment，while Tu came up with a new drug for malaria．
Tu，born in 1930，graduated from the Beijing Medical College in 1955．She is a chief researcher and professor at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine．She is also the first Chinese citizen to be awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine．In the 1970s，Tu carried out the research，resulting in the discovery of artemisinin（青蒿素），a drug that has considerably cut the number of malaria deaths and saved millions of lives．The treatment is based on a herb used in Chinese traditional medicine，called sweet wormwood．
Tu got the award for three"firsts"．She was the first to bring artemisinin to her project team，the first to extract （提炼） a form of artemisinin that can altogether prevent malaria，and the first to complete a clinical trial，according to Zhang Boli，director of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences．
The committee said the discoveries had given the world powerful new ways to fight malaria which affects hundr eds of millions of people every year．The committee added that，"The results in terms of improved human health and reduced suffering are immeasurable．"
"It is a gift for the world people from the traditional Chinese medicine．It is of great importance for curing malaria and other infectious diseases and for protecting the health of the world people．"Tu said in Beijing．"The discovery of artemisinin is a successful example of teamwork on traditional Chinese medicine．The prize winning is an honor for China's science cause and traditional Chinese medicine in their course of reaching out to the world．"
"Tu's winning the prize signifies China's prosperity and progress in scientific and technological field，marks a great contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to the cause of human health，and shows China's growing strengths and rising international standing．"Premier Li Keqiang said in a congratulatory letter Monday evening．

2．You already know that you should wake up early to become more productive，and perhaps you have also heard that you shouldn't check your email first in the morning．While this advice is good and well-documented，there is also another kind of productivity advice that is as effective as well．（36）E
1．Work when there is a distraction（分心） around
Your environment doesn't have to be 100% quiet if you want to get work done．Let's say that you are working from home and you have kids．Let's also assume that you don't have a quiet workspace in your home to do your work．Naturally，you could decide to do work during the quiet hours．（37）D．
2．Drink coffee before taking a nap
（38）F Then take a caffeine nap．Combining coffee and napping time can have a big improvement in one's personal productivity．Drink a cup of coffee，take a 20-minute nap right afterward and wake-up refreshed．
3．（39）A
It's so funny to think that the places that seem like the last ones in which to get anything done are the best for productivity．I'm talking about trains and when I travel alone，I look forward to getting work done there．In fact，I have done a lot of work during my trips when I'm moving from one place to another．
4．Close the curtains
Closing the curtains can improve your productivity．I might do some work at the dining table where there is a window to the left of me．Since I can see the nearby parking space through the window （and the people and moving cars as well），the movement might catch my attention，so the simplest way to prevent the distraction is to close the curtains．（40）G

A．Work in a train．
B．Focus on one thing at a time．
C．Have a mobile Internet access with you．
D．But not all of the tasks have to be done then．
E．Try these tips and see how they work for you．
F．Want to improve your afternoon productivity？
G．That way I can put all of my attention to my work．
9．Ali is from a Middle Eastern country．He now stays in the USA．He smokes a lot of cigarettes every day．He has smoked for nine years．Ali says，"I tried to quit （放弃） smoking in my hometown，but it was impossible．My parents smoke．My brothers smoke．All my friends smoke．At parties and at meetings，almost all the men smoke．Here in the United States，not as many people smoke．（36）B"Many smokers are like Ali：they want to stop smoking．（37）DThey know it can cause cancer and heart disease．But it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them．The drug is nicotine．People who smoke a lot need nicotine．
（38）EThe nicotine makes him sick．In a few days，the smoker's body is used to the nicotine，and he feels fine．Later，the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine．Without nicotine，he feels bad．
（39）AMany people who quit will soon smoke again．At a party or at work they will decide to smoke"just one"cigarette．Then they will smoke another cigarette，and another．Soon they become smokers again．（40）F

A．It is very hard to quit smoking．
B．It will be easier to change the smoking habit here．
C．Thus nicotine makes smokers addicted to cigarettes．
D．The smokers know that smoking is bad for their health．
E．When a person first begins to smoke，he usually feels terrible．
F．Maybe there is only one easy way to quit smoking：never start．
G．But it is said that medicine is needed to stop them from smoking．
19．Reading fluency is one of the most important skills for middle school students learning English．If you're concerned about your reading skills，read the following tips．
Find time to read every day．
Find the best time of day for you to read．（36）B You will become a more fluent reader by reading every day．
Use clues（线索） in the text to make predictations．
Fluent readers make predictations before and as they read．Use the title，subtitles（小标题），and pictures to ask yourself quesions about what you are going to read． （37）E After reading，think about what you've learned and decide what you need to read to continue learning．
Try not to translate．
（38）C Instead of translating new words into your first language，first try to use the context （上下文） to help you guess the meaning．
Enjoy your reading．
Perhaps today you do not like to read in English，but as you read more，you should see a change in your attitude．The more you read in English，the easier it will become．（39）F
（40）A
The best tip to follow to become a more fluent reader is to read whenever and wherever you can．Good readers read a lot．They read many different kinds of material．To practice this，keep a reading journal．Every day，make a list of the kinds of things you read during the day and how long you read each for．If you want to become a more fluent reader，read more!

A．Read as much as you can．
B．Try to read when you are not tired．
C．Translations slow down your reading．
D．Read in phrases rather than word by word．
E．Find answers to the questions when you read．
F．You will find yourself looking forward to reading．
G．Before you read a text，think about the purpose of your reading．
6．Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch．Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you．Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by．Friendship doubles your joy and divides your grief．A friendship is priceless and should be cultivated．
●Remembering the golden rule
Without a doubt，the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated．When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship，you'll be blessed in untold ways．
You can't know what has gone on in the rude person's life that day，but you can assume that his or her day hasn't gone well．Maybe a loved one lost his job，her boss reprimanded her unjustly，he's coming down with the flu，or she just found out that her teenager is taking drugs．
Whatever the cause of the rudeness，you don't have to accentuate（突出） the problem．A kind word or a gentle，understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would．
●Considering foes as friends
A friend looks after your own good．On the other hand，a foe is someone who isn't interested in your well-being．
Yet some students view their teachers as enemies．However，a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom．Instead of being an enemy，a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had．
This kind of thinking，along with a little attitude adjustment，helps you to convert foes to friends，and both of you are better off．
●Making friends by being an optimist
Do you enjoy being around a pessimist，someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it？The answer is obvious．Most people prefer to be around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today，rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday．
●Capturing the pleasing personality
    How do you develop a pleasing personality？Here are some steps you can take：
Smile when you see someone．You don't have to give a wide grin-just a pleasant，friendly smile．
Speak in a pleasant，upbeat tone of voice．Talk to people as if they are good friends，even if they don't really fall into that category yet．
Take a course in public speaking．The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention from many sources．
Develop a sense of humor．Pick up a couple of joke books．This makes you a little more outgoing and friendly．
●Don't criticize unjustly
Instead of being eager to dish out criticism all the time，take the humane and sensible approach．Look for the good in others．Encourage them．Build them up．
    Most people seldom think through each situation completely and consider the other person's point of view．If you take the time and effort to do this，you'll end up befriending more people．
