Question

(A) More than half the young people in China are nearsighted, according to a survey, which called for great efforts to control the condition. The survey found that eight of 10 senior middle school students were nearsighted, compared with 71.6 percent in junior middle school, 36 percent in primary school and 14 percent of 6-year-olds in kindergarten.	(B) According to experts, one of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a diary. For example, before you go to bed every night, write down any positive experience you have during the day, no matter how small. Your mental health will gradually improve.
(C) “It is in giving that we receive," It turns out that this is scientifically right. Studies have shown that putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return will give us a strong sense of satisfaction.	(D) Studies show volunteering reduces stress. Even if you have little time to offer, just the act of giving has been shown to improve your health, possibly by reducing your sense of pain. A new study found that people who said they would volunteer were less sensitive(敏感 的) to an electric shock than those who refused.
(E) Researchers found a clear link between breakfast habits and heart disease risk. Those who didn't eat in the morning were up to 87 percent more likely to cause heart trouble. They did a survey on 6,550 people over 40. Most (59 percent) ate breakfast every day, but 5.1 percent never did, 10.9 percent seldom did, and 25 percent would not eat for a few days.	(F) Now many children are getting fat. Some of them spend too much time watching TV. Others have to spend a lot of time studying. So they don’t have enough time to exercise. A report says that many middle school students spend about 10 hours a day sitting down. And many students like eating sweet food. That also makes them fatter.

For example, before you go to bed every night, write down any positive experience you have during the day, no matter how small.

5.细节理解题。根据文中A篇中71.6 percent in junior middle school可知，中学生中71.6%的学生近视，并不是一半，所以A错误；根据C篇中Studies have shown that putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return will give us a strong sense of satisfaction. 研究表明，把他人的幸福放在自己的幸福之上，不期望任何回报，会给我们强烈的满足感。可知并没有提到是否是困难的，所以B错误；根据文中Now many children are getting fat.
