Is it TRUE?
Wearing the wrong type of glasses will do harm to your eyes.
This is not true for adults. Of course, incorrect glasses may not be good for children under 10. Ready-made glasses, and not wearing when you should, won’t do harm to your eyes, but you may see better with glasses that are specially made for you.
Watching too much television is bad for your eyes.
This is not true. People with easily affected eyes may find they get red and aching from staring(盯着)at a fixed distance for long periods, but there won’t be any lasting effects(影响).
Carrots will help you see in the dark.
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body can change into vitamin A, too little of which can cause night blindness. However, people in most countries don’t need to worry about vitamin A deficiency(缺乏), night blindness is more likely to be connected with another vision problem.

Small drones(无人机)can help carry packages to your home. For two years, Google has been working hard in their secret research lab. They have made great progress. Their latest project is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery(投递)service. It is half plane and half helicopter(直升机)and is slightly bigger than a seagull(海鸥). It can deliver packages to customers’ doors.
The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered(盘旋), and released the package with a wire. Delivery is here!
The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery times will be greatly cut down. You’ll be able to order online in the morning. And by noon, the delivery drone will deliver you package.
Throughout history, there have been a series of inventions that have helped people move things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google drones will be the next big step in the series.
Interestingly, drones are not that young. The USA has been using armed(武装)drones since 2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot videos from the sky.
Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to customers any time soon. However, Google has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery service last year, the heat is on to make safe and suitable drones to fly the skies for customers.

A. what a drone is B. how a drone works
C. how a drone is produced D. how a drone is designed

C. Eight years. D. More than 10 years.
35. Which of the following is NOT True about the invention?

B. Astro Teller is the lead scientist of Project Wing.
C. Google drones are the next big step in helping people move things around.

According to a new study, children who spend a large deal of time with their fathers have higher IQs. The research also shows that strong fatherly involvement(参与)in their early life can also improve a child’s future career.
The study looked at more than 11,000 British men and women, born in 1958. The scientists asked their mothers how often the fathers of their children took part in activities with them, including reading, organizing outing and general “family time”.
The findings, published in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour, show that those children whose fathers spent more time with them had a higher IQ and were more socially mobile than those who had received little attention. The differences were still there by the age of 42.
And the researchers warned that it was not enough for parents to live together, but that a father should be actively involved in a child’s life to benefit his/her development.
Dr Daniel Nettle, who led the research, said, “What was surprising about this research was the big difference in the progress of children who benefited(受益于)from paternal interest.”
“The data suggest that having a second adult involved during childhood produces benefits in terms of skills and abilities that last throughout adult life,” he added.
Jon Davies, chief executive for Families Need Fathers, said, “We hope that research like this will lead the government to reconsider how poorly served separated families often are and how a child needs a father as well as mother.”
36. Where can you see the findings of the study?
A. On the Internet.
B. China Daily.
C. The magazine on Father and kids.
D. The journal Evolution and Human Behaviour.
37. ______ led the research.
A. Scientists B. Families Need Fathers
C. Jon Davies D. Dr Daniel Nettle
