Eyes on Vision
Two years ago, Azara Mason was having trouble seeing the board inclass.An eye doctor told her she had myopia(近视),or nearsightedness!
People who are nearsighted have trouble seeing things that arefar away.Azara now wears glasses when she needs them.
The eye works like a camera.Light passes through a lensand is turned into images. The brain then helps us understandwhat they are.
When people have healthy vision, their eyes focus(聚焦) light on the retina(视网膜). When people are nearsighted, their eyes focus light in front of the retina. Thatmakes objects that are far away look blurry.
Dr. Maria Liu is head of the Myopia Control Clinic at the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley.She says a growing number of people have myopia, and kidsare developing it at a younger age.
Many studies show a rise in myopia.The National Eye Institute(NEI) foundthat nearsightedness among Americans grew 66% from 1971 to 2004.Experts saythat by 2020, myopia could affect(影响) one third ofthe world’s population.
Scientists link(联系) the rise in nearsightedness to an increase in near work, including computer and cell-phone use.Studies show that less time spent outdoorsmay also be adding to the increase.
What can you do to take care of your eyes Liu advises everyone to stay awayfrom electronic devices(设备) and spend more time outdoors to keep eyes healthy.Screen-Free Week, from May 4 to 10, is a good time to do just that.Liu also tellspatients to take a 15-minute break to look at things in the distance for every 45minutes of near work.
If you are worried about your vision, you should visit an eye-care professional.Liu often advises patients to use special contact lenses and eyedrops. She says theycan correct nearsightedness and slow it from progressing. Glasses and regularcontact lenses improve vision but don’t have that extra benefit(益处) , she says.
If you suffer(遭受) from, myopia, your parents and doctor can best decide thetreatment that is right for you. Azara’s mom is looking into options other than glasses. But for now, Azara continues to happily wear her glasses—and clearly seethe board.
27.The word “blurry” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. large B. bright C. disordered D.unclear
28. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about
A.The treatments for myopia. B. The link between myopia and near work.
C.The causes of increase in myopia. D.The electronics for studying myopia.
29.What can we learn from the passage
A. Using eyedrops can slow nearsightedness from progressing.
B. The number of people who suffer from myopia is increasing.
C.People’s eyes focus light behind the retina if they are nearsighted.
D.Reading on electronic devices outdoors can help to keep eyes healthy.

Laughter Therapy(疗法)
Laughter not only provides workout for your muscles(肌肉), it also produces endorphins(内啡肽) which help to reduce stress(压力).What’s more, your body can’t tell the difference between real andfake(假的) laughter.
The happiness you feel when you laugh is a great way of fighting the physicaleffects(影响) of stress. When we laugh, our body relaxes and endorphins arereleased(释放) into the blood stream.
A Laughter Therapist’s aim is to help you laugh more easily. It starts with awarm-up followed by a lot of activities designed to get you laughing. Laughterdoesn’t come easily to everyone, but luckily, it’s a skill you can learn. So faking ithas the same beneficial effect.
Dr Lee Berk of Loma University Medical Centre, has been doing laughtertherapy research since the late 1970s.In 1989 Berk studied the effects of laughter inten healthy males.Five experimental subjects watched an hour-long comedy whilefive control subjects didn’t. Blood samples taken from the ten subjects showed thatcortisol(皮质醇), the hormone(荷尔蒙) our body releases when under stress, in theexperimental subjects had reduced more rapidly than in the control group. Berk’sresearch has also shown the number of cells that fight viruses(病毒) increasesthrough laughter. These same cells are blocked(阻碍) if the body suffers long-termstress.
The therapeutic effects of laughter have been studied since the 1970s, but Dr. Madan Kataria is the one who set up the first laughter club in 1995. There are nowmore than 5000 laughter clubs worldwide.
Laughter therapy is suitable for everyone.Elderly groups, young people incare and mental(心理的) health patients are all thought to benefit especially fromlaughter therapy. If you’re undecided, remember this: children laugh about 400times a day while adults manage only 15.
A laughter therapy may make you feel excited and tired at the same time.Muscle tone and cardiovascular(心血管的) functions may be improved and oxygenlevels in the blood may be increased.
In the long term, laughter therapy teaches us that we don’t just have to laughwhen we are happy.Laughing can actually improve your mood.And it’s contagious(传染的), so you can expect to see those around you benefiting from a good laughtoo.
