Passage 1
February 14th, Valentine’s Day(情人节), is a complicated but interesting day. First of all, Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candy or flowers to your husband or wife if you’re married, or to your boyfriend or girlfriend if you’re not married. In Japan, some girls even give their fathers chocolates.
Why is this holiday for people in love called Valentine’s Day
One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like “Valentine”. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to Valentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentine’s Day recalls his tragic death.
On Valentine’s Day, American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special Valentine’s Day box. And then on that day the box is opened, the cards are taken out and given out.

Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. 33 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 (平均) 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 (近视) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring at smartphones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink (自动眨眼) a certain number of times. However, 34 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 (瞳孔) become larger,too much light enters your eyes. 35 .
While you’re probably not going to stop using your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. 36 . Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters away from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

Thumbs Down to Texting (屈指发短信)
Do you have a mobile phone Do you send text messages to your friends and family
Text messaging or “texting”, is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling(肿胀)in our thumbs(拇指). Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons(按钮), over and over. Scientists call his problem RSI(重复性紧张劳损). We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
53. What is becoming very popular now
54. Does the word “once” mean “one time” in the second passage
55. What kind of people are easier to have the problem of RSI
56. What can also cause RSI except testing
57. Which is easier to cause the problem of RSI, using smaller mobile phones or larger ones
