"Hey, don't read in the hallway. Your eyesight will be damaged." You must have heard such warnings many times. Don’t read in dim (暗的)light! This is one of the “pearls of wisdom” that are supposed to help us live a healthy life. Such common beliefs, however, lack scientific basis, according to a paper published recently in the British Medical Journal.

Do you believe in the following everyday wisdom?

Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight.

In dim light, you might blink (眨眼) more, feel discomfort from drying and have trouble focusing. But the majority of eye experts believe it is unlikely to do any permanent damage.

We must drink at least eight glasses of water a day

In 1945, the Nutrition Council in US suggested that people need to consume 2.5 litres of water a day. But the water contained in food, particularly fruit and vegetables, as well as in milk, juice and soft drinks, also counts towards the total.

We only use 10 percent of our brains.

This myth arose as early as 1907. People have long argued about our power of self-improvement and our brains’ potential abilities. But detailed imaging shows that no area of the brain is silent or inactive.

Shaving your legs causes hair to grow black faster and thicker.

This theory is also illusion. Shaving has no effect on the thickness or rate of hair growth,

studies say. Just over time, the edge of hair gets worn away and thus the edge of long hair becomes finer (更细). So hair that is newly grown gives the impression of darkness.

1.What does the paper say about some common beliefs?

A. They are pearls of wisdom          B. They help us live in healthy ways

C. They are well-known theories.                D. They do not have scientific basis.

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?

A. Reading in dim light does harm to one’s eyes.

B. People need a total of 2.5 litres of water a day

C. People use 90 percent of their brains.

D. Shaving your legs will give you thicker hair.

3.This passage is most likely to be found in __________ ?

A. a newspaper                           B. a science fiction

C. a biology textbook                 D. a medical book

Your House Will Take Care of You In Old Age

Have you ever thought what your life would be like in old age?

Everyone talks about the “aging” society with large numbers of elderly people needing home care. Now German researchers have set up a “smart” house, programmed to help the elderly live at home with dignity. Scientists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute say the house combines existing technology with future-oriented technology.

For example, the “smart” bathroom has a touch screen mirror that can remind people to take their medicine, wash their hands or brush their teeth. The hardware behind Fraunhofer’s electronic bathroom is not new, and the software runs on a regular personal computer.

When the medicine cabinet is opened, a display in the middle of the mirror tells the person how many pills to take. The mirror is linked to a care provider, who can remotely check whether a patient at home is actually taking medicine and brushing his or her teeth. As many elderly people have arthritic(关节炎的) conditions that make it difficult to operate water taps, the mirror also has displays that turn the water tap on or off or control the water temperature.

The bathroom is only the start. Kitchens, bedrooms and all other parts of the “intelligent” home will become “user-friendly” to meet all kinds of individual needs. Sensors in doors, toilets, taps, light switches and carpets detect every activity and record them electronically. Doctors or care staff can see from the computer records what personal hygiene tasks have been completed, how often the elderly person visits the bathroom or uses the toilet. In case of an emergency, the computer automatically alerts the chosen contact person or calls the care center.

1.The ‘smart” bathroom has a touch screen mirror ____.

A. that can remind people to do many things

B. which is linked to a nursing house

C. behind which is a medicine cabinet

D. that can help the elderly brush their teeth

2.The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to ___.

A. sensors

B. doors, toilets, taps, light switches and carpets

C. individual needs

D. every activity

3.How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By inferring.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. By comparing.

C. By listing examples. 　　　　　　　　　　 D. By introducing a practical method.

4. The author of the text mainly ___.

A. calls on people to care for the old

B. introduces a new house

C. promotes a new house

D. encourages the old to live with dignity
