- Passage 1 -

Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily， I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

When I was a little girl， I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hoped that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Now， I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions， but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere， I would say， “Sorry， I am a stranger here.”

Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However， I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didnt want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office， the secretary （秘书） showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

- Passage 2 -

Look around and youll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes？

According to a study， half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.

Staring at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance， your eyes automatically blink a certain number of times. However， when you look at things closer to your face， the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils become larger， too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma.

While youre probably not going to stop using your smartphone， there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters（厘米） away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following： look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

- Passage 1 -

When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time， they will become weak. When you start using them again， they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory （记忆） works in the same way.

When someone says that he has a good memory， he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor， he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak， we know that it is his own fault （过错）. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory， many of us think that his parents may be blamed （责备）， and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories？ This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things， they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days， names， songs and stories， so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
