When someone does an eyebrow flash (挑眉), you'll see their eyebrows raise lightly for less than 1/5 of a second. 

What it Means: The eyebrow raise is a great sign of interest. People usually use the eyebrow flash in three main ways: 

* The eyebrow flash can skillfully show interest, such as when agreeing to something or thanking someone. It often means "yes" during a conversation. 

* The eyebrow flash can also express interest in a loving way. 

* Or the eyebrow flash can show social interest, such as when two people meet each other. It shows the other person that you are happy to see them. 

Whenever we use the eyebrow flash, we attract people's attention to our face. Teachers and speakers often use it to say, "Listen to this!" or "Look at me!"

The Science: According to a study, the eyebrow flash is thought to be a form of greeting and can be found all over the world. It is said that this gesture is common across all cultures. 

How to Use it: There are many ways to use the eyebrow flash. Here are a few examples: 

* To Express Liking: When you see someone you like or who you want to like you, give them a quick eyebrow flash followed by a warm smile. 

* To Encourage Participation: If you want someone to listen to something you are going to say, raise your eyebrows right before speaking. 

* To Show Interest: Are you curious (好奇)? Your eyebrows are the best way to express it!

 In a primary school of Yunnan, there' re over 500 students, but no one is nearsighted(近视). It's hard to believe. Three hours of outdoor play and no mobile phones or computers— this might be the reason why they all have good eyesight. 

 In the school, children eat healthy food and have enough sleep every day. During class breaks, all of them need to go outside. When the three sports teachers of the school are busy, other teachers will teach students to play basketball and table tennis. 

 To stop students from using mobile phones, the school had six public(公用的) phones for them to call their parents. Even on weekends and during holidays, the school tells parents to care about kids' eye health in teacher-parent WeChat groups. 

 Sun Fubiao, the primary school' s headmaster, tries his best to help students protect(保护) their eyesight, because he himself and five other teachers are nearsighted. "It' s uncomfortable to do many things wearing a pair of glasses in daily life, " he said. "I do not want the children to have the same bad experience. "

 Now, people come up with many ideas to protect children's eyesight. Children should play online games for no more than three hours a week. They need to do eye tests each term. Schools can' t give homework to first and second graders. ____▲____ . But for them, it' s more important to go outside and play. 

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

 Have you noticed that people speak differently to babies compared to adults? Caregivers, especially mothers, change their speech when talking to young children. How? Their speech includes higher pitch (音高) and a wider pitch range (范围). They use shorter sentences and repeat words more often. You can think of it as baby talk. Researchers have recently discovered that dolphins also use baby talk with their babies.

The research team recorded sounds of 19 mother dolphins living in the Sarasota Bay area. The sounds of the same female dolphins were compared when they were with and without their babies. Chart 1 shows the sound of a female dolphin without her baby. The researchers found that when dolphins were with their babies, dolphin mothers had a wider range of frequencies (频率) of the sound-the maximum (最高 ) frequencies were higher and the lowest frequencies were lower.

The findings mirror the way that humans change the speech when speaking to babies. Dolphin baby talk may have a similar purpose to human"baby talk" it may help babies learn how to phonate. We humans don't only use baby talk with little babies, but with the children who are still learning to speak. As a result, our children are able to talk. That's exactly what happens to dolphins. The changes in speech don't just happen when dolphin mothers stay with very young babies, but also between mothers and babies that are closer to"toddler (学步的幼儿)" age. Another possible reason for using specific pitch is to catch the children's attention. It's really important for a young dolphin to know"Oh, Mom is talking to me now."

 The research about baby talk in dolphins reminds us how important it is in humans. Whenever we speak with a young child, how we say things could be as important as what we say.

 Once upon a time in a small town, there was a young boy named Tim who always felt bored after school. His afternoons were filled with nothing but the same old routine(常规事), and he longed for something exciting.

 One day, as Tim was walking home from school, he noticed a group of his classmates playing baseball in a nearby park. They were passing the ball loudly and happily. Tim felt a pang of pity for himself, as he had never been part of such an enjoyable activity.

"What's the matter, Tim?" asked his friend, Sarah, noticing his unhappy feelings. Tim answered, "I wish I could join them, but I' ve never played baseball before, and I'm afraid I' ll be bad at it."

 Sarah, being a confident(自信的) and encouraging classmate, said, "That's no problem at all! We can learn together." After that, she explained that there was a volleyball game later. They could practise passing the ball for that.

 Feeling hopeful, Tim agreed to join Sarah for some practice. They went to the school's volleyball court, and she taught him how to pass the ball with confidence. Tim found the activity to be both relaxing and enjoyable, and he began to score points in their friendly matches.

 As the days went by, Tim's skills improved, and he became less bored after school. He started to look forward to the chance to play with his classmates. He went from being a boy who. found everything boring to one who was excited about after-school activities.

 One day, during a close and exciting game, Tim made a fantastic play that helped his team win. His classmates cheered loudly, and he felt pleased and proud of himself. He realized that trying new things and stepping out of his comfort zone(区) could be exciting and rewarding(值得的).

 From that day on, Tim's life was far from boring. He enjoyed the journey of learning new sports and making new friends. He learned that sometimes, all it takes is a choice to change one' s life for the better. And so, Tim's after-school hours became a time of enjoyment, growth, and the magic of discovering new interests.
