Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young．She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star．“I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says．“I used to wear them to watch TV．”

       Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt．The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”．It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights．Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest．But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must．

       Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street．Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s．As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies．In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwoo d in The Blue Brothers．Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun．Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black．

       Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement．The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation．UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully．But you don’t have to give up style for safety．The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge．So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach．

Do fight against painting pollution

Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading? More and more  21_  and teachers have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers 22   on streets.

These printed things  23  newspapers but have hardly anything to do with _24_. You can only find reading materials badly made up there—some are too strange for anyone to    25  ; others are frightening stories of something _26_. However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such 27  reading, which  28  them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares and immoral ideas in  29 .

Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road

――Reported by Sheila Carrick

    Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

    Most people know this joke．But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.

     “Millions of animals die each year on U.S．roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports．In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S．today．The main reason? Roadkill.

     “Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars．They are paths both over and under roads．“These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.

    But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes．Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway．This showed that the lions used the passage.

    Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them．Animals seem to be catching on．Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.

    The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around．You might see an animals overpass!

45．The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that ______.

      A．wild animals have become more dangerous

      B．the driving conditions have improved greatly

      C．the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work

      D．an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents

46．From the news story, we know an ecopassage is ______.

       A．an underground path for cars                B．a fence built for the safety of the area

       C．a bridge for animals to get over a river   D．a pass for animals to cross the road

47．When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means ______.

       A．animals begin to realize the dangers on the road                     

       B．animals begin to learn to use ecopassages

      C．animals are crossing the road in groups                                                         

       D．animals are increasing in number

48．The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because ______.

      A．wild animals may attack cars                B．wild animals may jam the road

       C．they may see wild animals in the park    D．they may see wild animals on ecopassages
