The cost is ￥180 and it takes 4 hours to get to Yiwu.

I’m Li Fei from No.1 Middle School. Let me tell you how students in my class go to school.

If you need glasses to read this, you are among most of Chinese students. About four-fifths of high school students in China have poor eyesight(视力). And now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.

Two main reasons can cause poor eyesight: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. They have less time to enjoy the sun.

The sun, it turns out, is important in developing good eyesight. According to a study by Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about forty percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do.

And poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term influence. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen.

With all that in mind, don’t you think it’s time to give your eyes a break.

1.How many high school students have poor eyesight in China according to the reading

A. A half of them. B. Three percent of them.

C. Forty percent of them. D. Four-fifths of them.

2.Which can cause poor eyesight according to the reading

A. Like reading and writing very much. B. Spend too much time enjoying the sun.

C. Spend too much time indoors studying. D. Start primary school at a young age.

3.What can we learn from the third paragraph

A. Primary school studying can be very harmful to young students.

B. Australian children spend more time outdoors than Chinese children.

C. After primary school, children in China and Australia have the same eyesight.

D. Fewer Chinese primary school students have poor eyesight than Australian ones.

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase” once in a blue moon” People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.”While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.

The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase” blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.

As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail when we cannot see the moon at all; it is called a new moon.

When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”.

Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression” once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.

1.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase” once in a blue moon”.

A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.

B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.

C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.

D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. Cindy stays up once in a blue moon.

2.When does a blue moon happen in nature

A. When the moon has a blue moon. B. When we cannot see the moon at all.

C. When there are two full moons in one month. D. When we can only see a small part of the color.

3.Which of the following is another example of something that has a crescent shape

A. The letter “O” B. The letter “M”

C. The letter “H” D. The letter “C”
