This summer, Chinese sports fans will be able to watch the exciting games in 3-D on CCTV.When you watch 3-D movies or TV, you have to wear a special pair of glasses. The 3-D glasses make the people and the things on the screen look like they are in the room with you.3-D, means having three *dimensions: *width, height and *depth. 3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eye work. Because the *pupils of a persons eyes are about 6.5cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from different *angle. Our eyes send the two pictures to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the picture from the right eye and the picture from the left eye make us see depth. While watching 2-D films, we dont have to wear the special glasses. We see the pictures in two dimensions, each eye get the same information. This is because there is only one way of watching it. So the aim of 3-D technology is to get a different picture into each eye of the person. It uses two film *projectors. One *projects a left eye picture and the other projects a right eye picture. When we are in the cinema, we can see different pictures in each eye at the same time with the help of the 3-D glasses. While watching 3-D films, we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things we are watching. However, some people are against watching 3-D films. One of the reasons is the 3-D glasses makes the screen of the film or TV look darker. It is bad for eyes. Whats more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies, because their brains need to work harder to “read” the pictures. 26. When we watch a 2-D film, each of our eyes get _ information. A. noB. differentC.darkD. the same27. Which is the following is right according to the passage? A.

All the people can have fun watching 3-D movies or TV for a long time. D. 3-D glasses make us see different pictures in each eye at the same time. 28. Why are some people against watching 3-D films? Because _. A. they make them more excited or sadderB. 3-D glasses make the screen look darkerC. 3-D films make all people get headachesD. they dislike watching the Olympic Games B Kings Summer School is a training program for students who want to improve their English.

You can most probably read the text in_.A. a newspaper B. a telephone book C. a story book D. a hotel introductionC Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon about eighty years ago. The sailor in thatcartoon ate lots of spinach（菠菜） to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many peoples diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable. Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable. People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. About one thousand years ago, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it. Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs - folic acid. It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.32. A good title for this reading passage is _. A. Popeye the Sailor B. The Truth about Spinach C.A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong33. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor? A.
