When a little boy burst into tears in his third - grade classroom last fall, his teacher Audrey Jost pulled him aside while the other kids were taking a rest. He said he was getting headaches and falling behind the other students, so Jost spoke with his parents about getting his eyes tested.
"A few days later the boy returned with contact lenses, seeming like a different kid," said Jost. "The change in him was amazing, academically and socially." That's why experts say late summer is a great moment to add an eye test to the back - to - school checklist.
The American Optometric Association says 1 in 4 children may start school with some sort of vision problems, impairing their ability to learn, participate in sports and observe the world around them. But many kids won't tell you something is wrong because they don't know they have a problem.
Many children with undiagnosed(未确诊的) vision issues could be perceived as copying a neighboring student's work, but really they can't see a science problem on the board. "Don't initially just assume they're cheating all the time," said Annette Webb, an expert in Hot Springs, Arkansas. "If somebody is habitually looking at a neighbor's paper, then I would definitely say that's a red flag."
Other things parents and teachers should look out for are squinting(斜视), requests to move around the classroom and headaches caused by eye strain. "Any complaints of any sort, saying they can't see, rubbing their eyes a lot, having red eyes, and bumping into things, they should get checked," said Megan Collins, an expert at Johns Hopkins University.
Collins emphasized that vision screenings(筛查), which are a must in most states, are an important first step to identifying kids with potential eye problems. As a public health researcher, she advocates strengthening in - school vision programs to help address inequalities in access to screenings and eye exams in underserved areas.
4. What does Audrey Jost's story show
A. Contact lenses are unsuitable for students.
B. The eye test for kids is beneficial.
C. A new school year brings many challenges.
D. Students should work hard not to fall behind.
5. How does an undiagnosed vision issue affect children
A. They may find it difficult to learn science.
B. They probably lose interest in sports.
C. They could be misunderstood.
D. They tend to cheat in exams.
6. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Solutions to children's complaints.
B. Indications of a potential visual problem.
C. Ways to get focused in classrooms for children.
D. Strategies for protecting children.
7. What did Megan Collins say about vision screenings
A. Their standards should be recognized universally.
B. Their cost should be covered by the states.
C. They should be done more often in schools.
D. They should be arranged as early as possible.

A newly - developed Android phone app is able to remotely estimate pressure in a person’s arteries(动脉)as their heart squeezes, providing potentially life - saving details on individual health without the need for specialized equipment.
Rather than having to take a trip to the doctor or use a dedicated device, individuals might one day be able to make use of the phone in their pocket, making the innovation particularly important in underserved populations where access to medical care is limited.
Developed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, the app works by taking a variety of readings from the accelerometer, camera, and touch sensors built into modern smartphones. What makes the app smart is the way it gets users to change the position of their hands to change blood flow, and apply a number of instructed touches to the phone screen to get the right pulse pressure readings. “Because of gravity, there’s a pressure change in your thumb when you raise your hands up above your heart, and using the phone’s accelerometer, you’re able to convert that into the relative change in pressure,” says biomedical engineer Vishaal Dhamotharan from the University of Pittsburgh.
In tests on 24 people and cross - referencing with a larger database, the app method detected pulse pressure to a reasonably accurate level, within around 8 mmHg. As development continues, the app accuracy level will most likely improve on that even further.
The researchers admit they’ll need to work on “changing the mindset” around using pulse pressure as a blood pressure indicator—but it’s the best solution we’ve seen yet for taking this crucial reading using a normal smartphone. “Development of a portable blood pressure measurement device that does not require any external calibration(外部校准)is unrealistic—such a device currently does not exist,” says biomedical engineer Sanjeev Shroff, from the University of Pittsburgh. “The research work reported in this publication is an important step in the right direction.”
8. Why is the newly - developed phone app particularly important
A. It’s much easier to access. B. It’s money - saving.
C. It’s a specialized facility. D. It’s more accurate.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about the app
A. The special function of it. B. The working principle of it.
C. The purpose of developing it. D. The inspiration for developing it.
10. What can we infer about the future of the app in smartphones
A. It will have a bright prospect.
B. It will come into the market soon.
C. It will be built in every smartphone.
D. It will replace the traditional equipment.
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To test an app. B. To improve an app.
C. To advertise an app. D. To introduce an app.
D
When we sleep, our brain is still actively processing the day's experiences and integrating them with past memories. Previous studies have identified links between pupil(瞳孔) size and sleep state, as well as between sleep state and memory formation. However, it has been unclear how fresh memories are processed without blurring into old ones. For example, how do we learn to play the piano without forgetting how to ride a bike
Researchers at Cornell University addressed this question by attaching brain - scanning electrodes and tiny eye - tracking cameras to mice. They monitored the mice as they learned new tasks during the day, such as navigating a maze, and then observed them during sleep. (Fun fact: mice can sleep with their eyes open.)
The study revealed two distinct substages during non - rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, a critical period for memory formation. One substage replayed new memories, coinciding with narrowed pupils. The other involved recalling older memories, marked by widened pupils. These stages alternated rapidly. The team also discovered that during the narrowed pupil stages, blocking sharp - wave ripples (SWRs) limited the mice's ability to remember new information.
It is also found that the brain has an intermediate(中间的) period that separates new learning from old knowledge. The results suggest that the brain can multitask distinct cognitive processes during sleep to facilitate continuous learning without interference. It's like new learning, old knowledge, new learning, old knowledge, shifting slowly throughout sleep.
The implications of the study are far - reaching: such a non - invasive means of monitoring brain function may help treat memory issues and boost memory, for example. The study also supports the hypothesis(假说) that human brains and computer systems may significantly forget old information. Catastrophic forgetting(灾难性遗忘), known in AI, is an area where machines still lag behind biology. What's more, the findings provide a potential solution for preventing catastrophic interference while enabling memory integration in both biological and artificial neural networks.
Despite the many similarities between human and mouse brains, similar studies need to be conducted in humans to verify these results.
12. What do researchers at Cornell University focus on
A. How pupil size is related to sleep state.
B. How people learn to perform new tasks.
C. How memories are kept without interference.
D. How sleep state is connected with memory formation.
D. A transitional stage distinguishes old memories from new ones.
14. What is the implication of the study
A. It provides an invasive solution to memory study.
B. It helps avoid large - scale interference and integrate memory.
C. It denies that brains and computers may forget information dramatically.
D. It supports that machines perform better in catastrophic forgetting than brains.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Code of Memory Integration in Sleep
B. Role of Sleep in Memory and Learning
C. Pupil Size: A Window into Human Brain
D. A Breakthrough: How Mice Sleep with Eyes Open

How to appreciate a classic
Classics are often seen as books read by literature majors or intellectuals. They carry a certain air of snobbery(自我优越感) in them. 16 The classics and I began as acquaintances, eventually to friends, and then to close confidantes(密友) with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic
Find your classic era. The term "classic" applies to a wide range of books across a long period of time. 17 Not every classic is as thick as Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Like all forms of literature, there are genres within the classics selection of a bookstore. By finding your era, there's always something that may appeal to you.
Read slow and get immersed(沉浸的). Classics aren't written in our modern tongue. It is written with every mark of the period it was published. As challenging as it may be, I suggest reading your first classic slow. 18 It's like immersing yourself in a different world. It would take a few interactions to get the hang of it, but you do get it eventually.
19 Once immersed, you rather get a hang of the language, and it is best to read another one. Maybe read a book from the same author. In this way, the next book becomes easier to read. The ease in the language and the context is reward itself and may motivate you to read more classics.
Try again. If the first classic you got was a miss, find another one. You can even start with thinner books like Peter Pan or a child's classic such as Alice in Wonderland or even Anne of Green Gables. Don't jump from "I don't read classics" to "Brother Karamazov" all too sudden.
20
A. Learn more about the author.
B. Reading classics requires pacing.
C. Follow through with another classic.
D. My love for classics was a gradual affair.
E. Allow the book and the language to grow with you.
F. It's wrong to assume that all classics are created equal.
G. You should treat classics like vegetables and eat them quickly.

A Memorable April Fools’ Day
I really like to trick people, especially my friends, Cherry and Harry. But after one particular day, when a strange incident happened, it changed. I learned a lot on that day.
What is the awful incident Well, it all started when Miss Beth introduced us to a new exchange student, Pei.
"She is very tall," I said to Cherry.
"Speaking of heights, wouldn't she be perfect in the cheerleading team " Cherry asked.
"Maybe... Well, we'd better keep quiet. Miss Beth is looking at us," I said.
Surprisingly, I was assigned to guide the new girl around. During the break, I wanted to start a conversation with Pei, so I quickly approached her.
"Hey, Pei," I said.
"Hello," she replied politely. I had a short chat with her and she seemed to be a nice person. Before going home, I showed Pei around.
The next day, I was very excited because it was April Fools' Day. I planned to trick my friends with Pei since she was new. I really hoped that she would cooperate with me. So, I
quickly ran to her before our English period started.
Unfortunately, Matt, a naughty schoolboy came to our classroom, realizing that there wasn't any teacher in.
"Go away!" I shouted.
As usual, he ignored that. I took Pei's notebook and hit Matt until it fell on the floor. Well... it wasn't actually a notebook. It was Pei's diary.
"Ooh, it's a diary!" shouted Matt. Then, he started to read out Pei's diary loudly. "I really think Mal is bossy and..." Matt kept reading all of Pei's inner thoughts.
I could see that Pei was embarrassed. She grabbed her diary from Matt and ran outside the classroom. I was quite upset, and had a bad feeling about the whole thing. After a while, I jumped out of seat to follow her just to say sorry. However, I couldn't find her anywhere before the school bell rang. I had to walk back to the classroom.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；

第二节
One possible version:
Then Miss Beth walked into our classroom for our English period. She noticed that Pei was missing. "Where's Pei " Miss Beth asked. "We don't know," answered the whole class. Suddenly, our class monitor stood up and told Miss Beth about the incident that happened earlier. I could see that Miss Beth was upset. She asked me to meet her at the staffroom before going home. "I am in boiling water," I said to Cherry. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine," Cherry told me.
After school, I went to the staffroom to meet Miss Beth. "Miss Beth, did you want to meet me " I asked. "Sure," she replied. After we went out, I saw Cherry, Harry, and most surprisingly Pei. I was too shocked to speak. Then, Cherry explained and told me that this was an April Fools prank. I was relieved after finding out that Pei wasn't actually missing. Well, my own trick blew up in my face. But this experience made me feel closer to my friends as well as my teacher.
