TV reporter: Here I am in China, looking into a problem that is common among Chinese students today — the increasing number of Chinese students with short-sightedness.
According to the result of a national survey of students’ health, the percentage of Chinese primary schoolstudents who suffer from short-sightedness is twenty-two point eight per cent. Among junior high school students the number increases to fifty-five point two per cent, and as for senior high school students, seventy point three per cent of them need to wear glasses. These high figures worry both teachers and parents.
But first, what exactly is short-sightedness? Short-sightedness is caused when the eye is unable to focus on distant objects. This results in poor eyesight. Short-sightedness can usually be corrected with glasses.
The question is why so many students in China suffer from this problem. Dr Li, an expert on short-sightedness, said that many students read in bed, and very often their rooms are not well lit. Students need more information on the problem so that they understand how their eyes can be protected.Answers A short-sightedness (2) 22.8

Announcer: No. 9 High School was recently awarded a prize from the local health officials for taking action to protect students’ eyesight. The school has advised students to do eye exercises both at school and at home. It has also introduced chairs that can be adjusted to improve the way that students sit while reading in the library. Besides thesemeasures, the school has also distributed information to parents so that they make changes in the home. This includes advice that children should be at least two metres away from the TV when they are watching it, and that the light in the room should be on and the TV set should be at or below eye level so that children do not have to look upwards. They also look out for signs that suggest childrenmay have a problem with their eyes. The signs include frequent headaches and falling behind with school work. Well done, No.9 High School!Answers Cb, c, h, iWriting about fitnessⅠ . Writing practice阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

You can't control the events of your life but you can control what they mean to you. I promise, by taking control of your thoughts, you will improve your life in a big way.

Everyone has his own favourite lifestyle. As for me, taking regular exercise is my favourite one. Physical exercise is beneficial to me in many ways. First of all, taking exercise helps me control my weight, and keeps me strong and energetic. Secondly, the stress from my parents, my teachers and from others can be reduced after exercise. In this way I can concentrate on my studies once again. Then I’ll feel I can do well and my confidence begins to grow. Last of all, I’ve learned to cooperate with others, which teaches me team spirit. Perhaps you have a totally different habit, but as long as it’s really good for you and others, who cares what it is? But remember to get out of these bad habits. Bad habits will kill you silently.
