Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria(衡量标准) in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager's intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
???? "The safety issue(问题) is a big one," says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn't alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns(担心), and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer, "That's not a problem here," --Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
???? "No crime whatsoever?" comments Mahoney today. "I just don't buy it." Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. "Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college," says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. "Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation."
???? But getting accurate information isn't easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity(名声), leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. "The truth may not always be serious," warms S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, InC., the nation's leading campus safety watchdog(监视) group.
???? To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
36. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ______.
A．receive too many visitors B．mirror the rest of the nation
C．hide the truth of campus crime D．have too many watchdog groups
37. The underlined word "buy" in the third paragraph means __________.
A．mind???????? B．admit??????????C．believe???????????? D．expect
38. What is the text mainly about?
A．Exact campus crime statistics B．Crimes on or around campuses
C．Effective solutions to campus crime D．Concerns about kids' campus safety

Where in the world can you take an hour's train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There's only one place, and that's Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景） in the Universal Studios, one of the
oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
??? A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
??? The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
??? Though it is soap opears that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.

D
Staring at a computer monitor for hours on end has become part of the modern workday. Middle and high school students, as well as upper elementary students, find that most of their homework should also be completed on the computer. Add the amount of time spent on the computer or a tablet during the school day and our children are spending hours and hours on the computer every week.
Many parents question the effect that this computer time has on their child’s eyesight. In fact, the medical community has labeled the effect a computer screen has on the eyes as “Computer Vision Syndrome”. Computer Vision Syndrome, or CVS, is not one specific eye problem. Instead, the term encompasses a whole range of eyestrain and pain experienced by computer users.
CVS symptoms include blurred vision, double vision, eye irritation, headaches, and back or neck pain. These effects are the same experienced by a person who has watched too much TV, read a book for too long, or played one too many video games. In fact, the vast majority of CVS symptoms can be found in Asian students who study for many hours a night. BBC News reports a “massive rise in Asian eye damage”. The article goes on to state that, “the "extraordinary rise" in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light…Up to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia -short-sightedness---while in the UK, the average level of myopia is between 20% and 30%.”
Don’t fear! There are easy, effective ways to control or even counteract the negative effects that technology and reading have on the eyes. Making a few changes to your home/work environment, and how your child interacts with technology, can help prevent and even improve Computer Vision Syndrome. Here are some easy tips from the medical experts at WebMD:
Change the lighting around you to reduce glare on the computer screen.
Rearrange your desk
　Researchers find that the optimal position for your computer monitor is slightly below eye level.
Follow the 20/20 rule
Look away from the screen every 20 minutes or so and either gaze out the window or scan the room for about 20 seconds to rest your eyes.
Keep some distance
　The human eye has to work much harder at close distances.
Go outside
The final step to keeping ourselves and our children healthy is an easy one- go outside and play!
Technology is the future. Gone are the days of file cabinets and books, pencils and erasers. As adults, it is our job to care for the only pair of eyes we have. As parents, it is our job to be sure our children know how to use technology safely, as technology- and their eyes- will be a part of their lives forever.
46. What can spending too much time on the computer or TV lead to according to the passage?
A. Headaches, back and neck pain
B. Shortedness, blurred vision and double vision and eye irritation
C. Blurred vision, double vision and eye irritation
D. CVS
47. What caused CVS according to BBC reports?
A. Working on the computer for long hours with having a rest.
B. Working too hard without outdoor light.
C. Studying on the computer in school.
D. Living on the computer or TV at home.
48. How many pieces of advice does the writer give us on protecting CVS?
A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six
49. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?
A. The percentage of school leavers in Asia is about 60%-70% higher than those in the UK.
B. Students had better read or work poor light.
C. A viewing distance of 17.75 inches is the best for reading.
D. Chinese young adults in cities in East and Southeast Asia have better eyesight that those living in Australia.
