         Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays
    (紫外线) while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the
    UK newspaper The Telegraph.
         The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted
    the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a
    rough path) in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays
    on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District. They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed
    to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered
    areas.
         The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency. According to the agency, the
    reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in
    the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.
         Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before
    we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.
         If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may
    experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange
    feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes
    permanent damage to the eyes.
         Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and
    researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years
    increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.

    1. You would most likely find the article in ________.

    A. a medical magazine      
    B. a travel journal  
    C. a doctor's diary
    D. a physics textbook

    2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.
    B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn't harm them at all.
    C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.
    D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.

    3. The underlined word "sunscreen" in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______.

    A. sunglasses  
    B. sun cream
    C. sun hat    
    D. sunburn

    4. What will the passage most probably talk about next?

    A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.
    B. Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.
    C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.
    D. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.

    　　Phone producers show us every year some really superb concept phones and even if 99％ of those phones never see the production line, they give us a small glimpse(一瞥)of what the phones will look like in the near future．We’ve made a list of what we think are the coolest concept phones presented in 2010．This is not a top, so the order is random(随机的)．Oh, and one more thing, remember, these are concept phones, which means they are not in production and are not for sale, so please don’t ask us where you can get them and what the prices are．

    　　1．LG Flutter Concept Smart-phone

    　　The LG Flutter has a face like the iPhone．The only difference is that the LG Flutter looks more like a fan or a killer’s tool which we see in sci-fi movies．

    　　In spite of this, this design does seem fit for the future of mobile phones but looks a bit difficult to use．

    　　2．Nokia 888 Communicator

    　　The phone has an amazing design．You can fold it in many ways according to your needs．You can wear it as a bracelet(手镯), roll it, bend it, and wear it as a clip on your clothes．

    　　Nokia 888 Concept is mostly targeted at teenagers that are very active and take part in a lot of different activities．

    　　3．Window Phone

    　　It is a product to throw on the face of the shameless weather officials．Whenever they predict sunny day be sure it would rain．So we have thought of gifting them this：“Window Phone” that makes accurate predictions and even changes its display(显示)according to the climate condition outdoors．

    　　4．Nokia Morph

    　　The Nokia Morph is created by Finnish company Nokia．The concept was the product of a joint study by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge’s Nanoscience Center．

    　　The phone could be bent into numerous shapes, so it can be worn around the wrist(手腕)or held up to the face．The transparent(透明)phone would allow it to be see-through yet functional．It has a self-cleaning surface that can absorb solar energy to recharge the phone battery(电池)．

    　　5．Clover Phone

    　　On looks it is just another ordinary phone type, but made in recycled material, which allow the device to be upgraded to meet the latest advancements in technology．We guess the green aspects on the high-end tech will be a selling point for this phone．

    Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert,seeking a million in prize money.To win,they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours.Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at a11,because these vehicles were missing a key Part—drivers.

    DARPA,the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,organized the race as part of a push to deve10p robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called,just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance One had its brake 10ck up in the starting area.Another began by throwing itself onto a wall.Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.

    One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence;another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock.The "winner",if there was any,reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long,narrow hole,and the front wheals caught on fire.

    "You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,"says Reinhold Behringer,

    who helped design two of the car—size vehicles for a company called Sci—Autonics."Even ants

    (蚂蚁) can do a1l these tasks effortlessly.It's very hard for US to put these abilities into our machine".

    The robotic vehicles,though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers

    and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.

    41. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ______.

       A. they did not have any human guidance

       B. the road was not familiar to the drivers

         What happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes? Find out in Little
    Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers.
         Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying
    the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting
    (骗过) his high school's monitoring system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular
    online game in real life.
         While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for

    citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public
    safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen.
         He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the
    DHS himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously (匿名地).
