You only have one pair of eyes， so take care of them． When you're in the sun， wear sunglasses． Sunshine can damage your eyes． When your eyes itch or hurt， don't rub them．Your fingers have germs on them． These can get into your eyes and make you sick． Staring at a computer screen can strain your eyes．You blink （眨眼） your eyes 10 times every minute． But when you stare at something， you only blink two or three times per minute． So remember to blink more． This helps your eyes．
（1）Why should we take care of our eyes？
（2）When you're in the sun， what can you wear？
（3）Why shouldn't you rub your eyes when they itch or hurt？
（4）How can you protect your eyes when you stare at a computer screen？
（5）What does the writer want to tell us？
In South Korea， many schools hire English teachers from abroad， but as you know， there are not so many English native teachers in South Korea． A team of engineers has created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers．
Robots will save schools money．The cost to build a robot and hire a Filipino teacher to work with it is around ﹩20，000 a year． That is about half the cost of supporting a foreign teacher in South Korea． What's more， robot teachers can make students have more fun learning English．
The robot teacher is called Engkey．She is about one meter tall and is white，egg﹣shaped．She takes a screen as her face． She can move around the classroom while speaking to students， reading books to them and dancing to music by moving her head and arms． So this robot is more than a video screen on wheels． But Engkey's voice is not her own． They are controlled by English teachers in the Philippines （菲律宾）．There is a camera in each of the robot teachers． With the help of the camera， English teachers in the Philippines can see and hear the students．
Engkey's creators say that they don't know how successful the robot is as a teacher now． But they hope that some day all schools in South Korea will have a robot in the classroom．

The World Health Organization（世界卫生组织） says air pollution kills seven million people around the world each year． Even if polluted air does not kill us， it can make us very sick． |
| B． |
However， breathing dirty air may do more than hurt your body． It can also affect（影响） your brain and your ability to think． |
| C． |
A new study shows that air pollution can cause a"huge"reduction（减少）in our intelligence（智商）．The researchers reported that long﹣term exposure（暴露） to air pollution can affect a person's mental（智力的） abilities in two areas： language and math． |
| D． |
Xi Chen， the researcher of the Yale School of Public Health led the study． He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person's education level by about one year． |
| E． |
Chen said that the effect（结果） generally is worse for those over 64 years of age，for men and for those with little or no education． |
| F． |
"The older persons﹣ they are more affected． And we find， quite interestingly，men are more affected than women． And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors． |
| G． |
The researchers noted that the effect of pollution on language ability is even more serious as people age， especially among men and the less educated． |
| H． |
Why were language skills more affected than math？ There are two main kinds of tissue（组织）in the brain： white matter and grey matter． White matter is more connected with a person's language skills， while grey matter is connected to our ability to solve math problems． Studies have shown that air pollution has a great effect on the white matter in the brain， but not the grey matter． |
Chen said that air pollution did affect the math skills， just not as much as their language skills．
