18．Which part of the world has the most nearsighted（近视的）students？Just look around you----it's East Asia．Nine in 10school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted，according to the BBC．Experts say books and video games are not to blame．East Asian students，they say，aren't getting enough sunlight．
People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus（聚焦） correctly．The body can produce a chemical called dopamine （多巴胺） to stop eyeballs from changing shape．Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine，reported AFP．
According to the study，primary school students in Singapore spend only 30minutes outdoors every day； in Australia，kids spend about three hours a day outside．As a result，fewer children in Australia are nearsighted----only 10percent，compared with 90percent in Singapore．
"Children in East Asia usually go to school…go home and stay inside．They study and they watch television，"Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP．
But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes，added Morgan．"As long as they get outside，it doesn't seem to matter how much study they do，"he explained．"There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine．The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and don't get outside．"
Scientists used to believe that people from Asian countries were genetically（由基因决定的）more likely to become nearsighted．However，when they found the proportion （比例） of nearsighted people in these countries had increased from 30to 90percent in the past few decades（十年），they realized they were wrong．
"Any type of simple genetic explanation just doesn't fit with that speed of change； gene pools just don't change in two generations，"said Morgan．What has changed is the time children spend outdoors．As a result of massive （巨大的） educational pressures and the construction（构成）of a child's day，the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized．"
Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day．This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school．

41．What is the main reason for the large number of nearsighted students in East Asia，according to scientists？B
A．Too much reading or gaming．
B．Lack（欠缺） of sunlight．
C．Genetic reasons．
D．Lack of exercise．
42．What can we conclude from Paragraph 2？C
A．Dopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape．
B．Dopamine can stop light entering the eyes from focusing correctly．
C．Spending time in the sun helps increase levels of dopamine in the body．
D．The more dopamine a person has in their body，the better eyesight he or she has．
43．According to Morgan，what kind of people are most likely to suffer from nearsightedness？D
A．Those who like watching TV．
B．Those who take exercise regularly．
C．Those who study hard and play hard outdoors．
D．Those who stay indoors studying all day．
44．The underlined word"minimized"in the passage probably meansA．
A．reduced as much as possible
B．made better use of
C．taken little notice of
D．paid much attention to
45．What's the best title of this passage？A
A．Eyes need to see the sun
B．The most nearsighted students in the world
C．People become nearsighted
D．Books and video games are not to blame．

17．I was offered several part-time jobs at university．Finally I decided to give one of them a go．Now I work in a dining hall on campus（校园）．My main duties are to serve food and wash dishes．

I have had really funny experiences．One of the sauces is called"marinara"which is a kind of tomato-based sauce like salsa（辣茄酱）． Before I knew what it was，someone asked me to give him the sauce，and I replied："What？The marijuana（大麻） sauce？"He was astonished．Marijuana is an illegal（非法的） drug and has nothing to do with sauce．It was quite embarrassing（使人尴尬的）!I have never forgotten the word"marinara"since then．
I also had to make a wrap（卷饼） for the first time．I had tasted Mexican wraps many times in China，but making one was a different matter．I could feel my face was burning with sweat and embarrassment as I broke the thin wraps again and again while people were waiting impatiently．Mexican wraps taste great when they're soft，but I do wish they could be made thicker and harder so they wouldn't break so easily．
My favorite part of the job is working in the kitchen．I hold the water cannon（水枪） like a policeman about to fight with"criminals"----the dirty dishes．It's quite exciting to feel the water rushing out of the pipe．I usually get thoroughly（彻底地） soaked，but it feels good，a bit like taking a shower．Sometimes our boss allows us to play music to cheer us up．I often hum along to the music while washing dishes．
This is my first experience of being a student worker．It is hard work，but it's turning out to be quite fun．
