    Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high intensity blue light damages retinal (视网膜的) cells in mice.1.So, why is there the disconnect between blue light's effects on rodent(啮齿类动物) eyes and human eyes?

2.We have protective elements, such as macular pigments (黄斑色素) and the natural blue-blocking ability of the crystalline lens (晶状体). These structures absorb blue light before it reaches the delicate retina.

Just because blue light isn't harming your retina, it doesn't mean your electronic devices are harmless.3.Mounting evidence suggests that screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall sleep. It also robs you of restorative rapid-eye movement seep, dulls focus, and reduces brain activity the next day.

4.

First, turn off your electronic devices before bed. Outside of the bedroom, when you do look at your screens, lower the brightness.

    Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashioned Photographer to turn his lens (镜头) to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.

Every season that face would change but1 was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere.

    Japan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there.

“Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non- wealthy.

Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.

Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.

But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future.

1.Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?

A.To show the Japanese are crazy about travel.

B.To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life.

C.To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots.

D.To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter.

2.Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's appearance?

A.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries.

B.Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people.

C.People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines.

D.More and more people lose interest in travel.

3.What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs?

A.They will be put on the market soon.

B.They will bring ANA a lot of money,

C.They will replace ANA's airplanes soon.

D.They are almost unavoidable in travel's future.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Your Next Travel May Be Virtual

B.Easy Travel in the Future

C.Virtual Travel Benefits

D.Air Travel Disappearing

    In lifeonce on a pathwe tend to follow itfor better or worse.What's sad is that even if it's the latterwe often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.

This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap: People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly.

Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.

The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.

Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”

1.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The experiment. B.Functional fixedness.

C.The path. D.The thinking.

2.Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?

A.Tacking the candle to the wall.

B.Fixing the candle with melted wax.

C.Using the tack box as a candle-holder.

D.Lighting the candle to stand it.

3.Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?

A.People should question.

B.We should be used to the way things are.

C.People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.

D.The smarter people arethe more open to the new things they are.

4.What's the passage mainly about?

A.An interesting experiment

B.A psychological phenomenon.

C.A theory to be proved.

D.The opinion of Hannah Arendt.

    Movie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies:

‘Thelma and Louise'(1991)

“Thelma and Louise,” is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.

Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, “Thelma and Louise”is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to return.

‘Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014)

It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson all works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art, prison escapes and a secret concierge (看门人) society.

Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.

‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'(200)

When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross railway station in London to get to Platform 9 3/4, we know it isn't real. And yet we want to visit.

The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are hundreds of years old.

‘The Trip to Italy' (2014)

In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri.
