Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly.You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.Your eyes Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50cm from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect (反射) on the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.Your hands Hand injuries can happen because the hands are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow this rule: Stop sometimes and exercise your hands and fingers in different ways.Your back Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back and your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck.Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.26.

For example, the germ (病菌) that make you catch cold can travel from one person to another with a cough. They are breathed in with the air. That is why it is important to stay away from people when you have a cold. It is a good idea to stay away from people who have cold, too. What seems to be a cold may be the beginning of some more serious diseases. Germs travel from one person to another in many ways. For example, some diseases are carried by insects (昆虫), such as flies and mosquitoes (蚊子). Larger animals can also carry diseases. People can get diseases from rabbits or even dogs. At one time many people got tuberculosis (肺结核) by drinking milk from cows that had the diseases. Today, cows milk is made safe. The milk is heated and then made cold.29.

The passage is mainly talking about _.

Her Barbi bike was just too old, and it needed repairing as well.As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, so we thought, for she didnt mention (提到) it again. We were busy buying some beautiful storybooks, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then to our great surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than anything else.Now we didnt know what to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing childrens presents, parents presents, a brothers present and friends presents till midnight. So there was no time to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt guilty and sad. Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of clay (泥土) and write a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?” So he spent the next five hours carefully working with clay to make a small bike.On Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the note loudly. She looked at Ron and me and said. “So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?” Smiling, I said, “Yes.” Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved (感动) the God to buy her every bike on the earth.32.

One researcher says babies who are cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (认知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another researcher reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to develop childrens language ability. Researchers also point out that for school-age children, fathers are one bridge with the outside world. Fathers who value (重视) education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers dont value education. Whats more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime. While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style, good fathers have something in common. Good fathers attend their childrens school activities. They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc. Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals (个体) that their children are becoming. Good fathers prefer explanations and reasoning to force. Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投资) in them. Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers. Both children and fathers have the chance for growth and development. Todays lifestyles are changing. More and more fathers are keeping a balance between their personal life, work, and family time. 36. The passage is mainly about .A. how to be a qualified (称职的) fatherB. the growth and development of both fathers and childrenC. the fathers role in the growth and development of childrenD. the changing of the fathers role in modern society37. According to the passage, we can find that .A. fathers have an important influence on their children from babyhood through adulthoodB. fathers involvement (介入) is the most important in childrens developmentC. all fathers have the same way of educating their childrenD. fathers are more important than mothers in the family38. A unique person in the third paragraph means “a person who ”.A. has the same ideas as othersB. is the only one of his typeC. does everything without considering others ideasD. tries to do everything well39.
