The thinning of the ozone (臭氧) layer means more short-wave ultraviolet (UV) rays(紫外线) are reaching the earth,

11、 and these are the biggest risk factor for clouding the lensof the eye. Ultraviolet rays increase the risk of changes to the cornea (角膜) causingclouded vision and eventually cataracts. The rays can be shielded only by anti-UV lensesHowever, our eyes are not sufficiently protected by fashion sunglass

12、es.3 . “Poor night vision and eye fatigue are noticeably more common, and there has beena big increase in minor eye complaints in the over-40s,” says Dr . Mireille Bonnet, who more than 100,000 times a day and that everyone should learn to exercise their eyemuscles and allow them to rest .4 . It was

Problems with night vision, which affect around 25 percent of people, are also on theincrease because of computer use . Using computer screens mea

16、me Schooling on BackpacksAccording to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. 5.900 kids were treated at hospital emergency rooms, clinics, and doctorsoffices last year for sprians(扭伤)and strains caused by backpacks. Such injunes are so widespread that more than 70 percent of physicians as a po

17、tential clinical problem for children.How do you avoid such problems Choose bags that have wide, padded straps(有垫的背带)and a belt. That will help transfer some of the weight from the back and shoulders to the hips. You should also tighten both straps firmly, so the pack rests about 2 inches above your

18、 waist. Also, remember to pack your bag with the heaviest items closest to your back and to bend both knees when you pick it up.I low much should you stuff into your pack That depends on your size and strength, but a general rule is not to exceed 20 percent of your body weight. So if a child weights

19、 100 pounds, the backpack and its load should not be more than 20 pounds. One hint: Make frequent trips to your locker(储物柜)to exchange books between classes.Backpacks with wheels let you pull the weight along the ground,but they have problems too. Many are larger than the average shoulder bag, so st

20、udents are tempted to carry more than they would in a conventional pack.Roller bags often dont fit into a locker. They can also lead to tripping and falls in crowded halls. Whatever you use. 10 or 15 minutes of stretching and back strengthening is a good idea.Children should put all the books in the

Now he speaks it fluently, and he had a unique opportunity to see how our brains adapt to a second language. As a graduate studen

22、t, Kim worked in the lab of Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist in New York. Their work led to an important discovery. They found evidence that children and adults dont use the same parts of the brain when they learn a second language.The researchers used an instrument called an MRI( magnetic resonance ima

23、ging) scanner to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people. One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children. The other consisted of people who, like Kim, learned their second language later in life. People from both groups were placed inside the MRI scanner. This

24、allowed Kim and Hirsch to see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were more active. They asked people from both groups to think about what they had done the day before, first in one language and then the other. They couldnt speak out loud because any movement would disrupt the scann

25、ing.Kim and Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain - Brocas area , which is believed to control speech production, and Wernickes area, which is thought to processmeaning. Kim and Hirsch found that both groups of people used the same part of Wernickes area no matter what lang

26、uage they were speaking. But their use of Brocas area was different.People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Brocas area for both their first and second languages. People who learned a second language later in life used a different part of Brocas area for their second

27、 language. How does Hirsch explain this difference Hirsch believes that when language is first being programmed in young children, their brains may mix the sounds and structures of all languages in the same area. Once that programming is complete, the processing of a new language must be taken over

28、by a different part of the brain. .A second possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do as adults. Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch, sound, and sight. And that is very different from learning a lang

30、Million of kids and teenagers from every part of the world wet the bed every singlenight, its so common that there are probably other kids in your class who do it. Most kidsdont _ (51) their friends, so its easy to feel kind of alone, like you might bethe only one on the whole planet who wets the be

This means that if you urinate (排尿)， or pee, which you are_ (54), theses a good _ (55) that a close relative also did itwhen he or she was a kid. Just like you may have _ (56) your moms

32、blue eyes or your uncles long lags , you probably inherited bedwetting too.The most important thing to remember is that no one _ (57) the bed onpurpose. It doesnt mean that youre _ (58) or a slob (懒汉). Its somethingyou cant help _ (59).For some reason, kids who wet the bed are not able tofeel that t

33、heir bladder (膀胱) is full and dont _ (60) up to pee in the toilet.Sometimes a kid who wets the bed will have a realistic _ (61) that he is in thebathroom peeing - only to wake up later and discover hes all wet . Many kids who wetthe bed are very _ (62) sleepers .Trying to wake up someone who wets th

34、e bed is often like trying to wake a log - they just stay asleep.Some kids who wet the bed do it every single night . Others wet some nights and are_ (63) on others. A lot of kids say that they seem to be drier when they sleepat a friends or a relatives house . Thats because kids who are anxious _ (

42、leep Drugs Do More Than Make You SleepThe United States Food and Drug Administration1 has ordered companies to place strong new warnings on thirteen drugs that treat sleep disorders. It also ordered the makers of the sleeping pills to provide information for patients explaining how to safely use the

43、 drugs.Last Wednesday, the FDA announced that some of these drugs can have unexpected and dangerous effects. These include the risk of life-threatening allergic reactions. They also include rare incidents of strange behavior. These include people cooking food, eating and even driving while asleep. T

44、he patients later had no memory of doing these activities while asleep.Last year, a member of the United States Congress2 said he had a sleep-driving incident. Patrick Kennedy, a representative from Rhode Island3，crashed his car into a security barrier near the building where lawmakers meet. The acc

45、ident happened in the middle of the night and no one was hurt. Mr. Kennedy said he had earlier taken a sleep medicine. He said he was also being treated with a stomach sickness drug that could cause sleepiness.The FDA did not say in its announcement how many cases of sleep-driving it had documented.

46、 However, the New York Times4 reported last year about people who said they had strange sleep events after taking the drug Ambien. Some reported sleep-driving and sleep-walking. Others said they found evidence after waking in the morning that they had cooked food or eaten in their sleep. But they ha

47、d no memory of carrying out the activities.An FDA official says that these serious side effects of sleep disorder drugs appear to be rare. But, he also says there are probably more cases than are reported.5 He says the agency believes the risk of such behaviors could be reduced if people take the dr
