- Passage 1 -

Douglas Grace talks about his ideal city of the future：

I see the city of the future in three zones—inner， middle and outer. In the inner zone there will be no private cars. Public transport will be free and there will only be ambulances， fire engines， taxis and police cars. This inner zone will be the residential （住宅的） and recreational （娱乐的） area of the city. People will live there and go out to enjoy themselves—to cinemas and restaurants. There will be parks and open spaces， trees and lakes， schools and universities. This way， when people are at home， they can go out easily and safely.

Just outside the inner zone there will be big car parks for all private cars. The banks and most of the shops and hospitals will be in the middle zone. These are things that people dont need every day.

All the factories and offices will be in the outer zone. People will travel out of the center to work， and back to the center in the evenings. The inner zone will be cleaner and better to live in and there will be more space for industry on the outside.

This is my ideal city of the future—a very beautiful place！But I dont really think things will ever be like that！

- Passage 2 -

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation， it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly， my mother will push the conversation into World War III. Shell talk about my lack of a bright future because I dont plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment， I dont want to do any job related to science， either. In fact， when I was pushed to say that I planned to major （主修） in English and communications， she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why cant you be like my co-workers son？” she bemoans all the time. Her co-workers son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70，000 dollars a year as an engineer. I dont know what to answer except that I simply cant be like Mr. Perfect as Ive called the unnamed co-workers son. I cant be like him. Im the type of person who loves to help out in the community， write until the sun goes down， and most of all， wants to achieve a career because I love it， not because of fame （名声） or salary.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. Ive seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6：30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However， I want her to know that by becoming a doctor， it doesnt mean Ill be successful. Id rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

- Passage 1 -

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They dont have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France， people spend about 1，646 hours a year at work. In Japan， however， people work about 2，159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.

Why do people work so many hours？ Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However， many companies dont pay overtime. Their workers dont get more pay for more work. Some people think its their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they dont work more hours.

Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France， people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany， they get four to six weeks， and in the United States， two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain， there is a saying， “All work and no play makes Jack a dull （迟钝的） boy.” If that is true， there must be a lot of dull people in the world.

- Passage 1 -

It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up， you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold！ Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu （流感） thats been going around？

A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But its usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week. On the other hand， the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine， the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.

Dont worry. If you get a flu vaccine （疫苗）， it can stop you from getting the virus （病毒）. Flu vaccines work by giving the body a s mall amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies （抗体）. So next time you get the flu， the antibodies should help you.

The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore， there are so many types of flu， such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu cant help us against all types of flu. Thats why we need to get the vaccine every year.

However， good health habits may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system （增强免疫系统）.

- Passage 2 -

For better eyesight （视力）， doctors advise limiting （限制） the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time.

However， another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia （近视）. An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia. The research team found that there were less children who had myopia in Sydney than those in Singapore， even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens. The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor sports than those in Singapore.

Indoor and outdoor sports both make the eyes pay attention to more distant （远处的） objects， which stops the eyes from changing original shape. But outdoor sports may be better than indoor sports for myopia. Because natural light is good for eye growth and vitamin （维他命） D from the sunlight might be useful to it. Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test when he / she is about two and half years old， and even if his / her sight seems good enough. It is necessary for myopic （近视的） children to wear glasses to stop headaches， trouble reading and so on. It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students eyes.

If that is not possible， school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examination and wear glasses. And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children， but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.
