Theopen classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students willbe happier in an open education school. They will not worry aboutggrades or rules.

Well carry it home on the roof-rack(车顶架. Ive always wanted one like that.What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied onto the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual thatevening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, Theres a long line of cars behind. Why dont they overtake(超车)?Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers(警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church(教堂). One of the officers came to me.Right, sir, he said. Do you need any more help now?I didnt quite understand. Thanks, officer, I said. Youve been very kind. I live just down the road.He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. Well, well, he said and laughed. Its a bookshelf youve got there!

Nine in ten school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame. East Asian students, they say, arent getting enough sunlight.People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine（多巴胺） to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered? Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP.According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsighted-only 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore.“Children in East Asia basically go to school. go home and stay inside. They study and they watch television, Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan. As long as they get outside, it doesnt seem to matter how much study they do, he explained. There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and dont get outside. As a result of massive（巨大的）educational pressures and the construction（构成）of a childs day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day, This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.58. What is the main reason for the large number of nearsighted students in East Asia, according to scientists? A. Too much reading or gaming. B. Lack of sunlight. C. Genetic reasons. D. Lack of exercise.59. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2? A. Dopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape. B. Dopamine can stop light entering the eyes from focusing correctly. C. Spending time in the sun can make the loss of dopamine in the body. D. The more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has.60. The word minimized in second-to-last paragraph probably means_. A. reduced as much as possible B. made better use of C. taken little notice of D. attached much importance to五、词汇检测（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文， 在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只写一词。61.
