广东省深圳市2017年英语中考模拟冲刺(五)
The road in front of my school is not very wide. Every afternoon when school is over, the road becomes very crowded as children, bicycles, cars and buses fill the road. Sometimes a policeman is there to help control the traffic. However, we still have to be careful enough to stop accidents from happening.
I am always careful when I cross the road because I ever witnessed (目击) a terrible accident. It happened just after school .As usual, the road was full of traffic. Children were running across the road to get to their cars and buses. When the traffic lights turned red, I stopped to wait, but I saw a little boy running across the road .At this moment, a car came and hit him. The boy fell and lay on the ground. Fortunately, the car was not moving very fast and the driver successfully stopped the car before it could run over the fallen boy.
At that time all the traffic stopped. I ran to the boy and saw some blood on the road. His head was hurt . A woman came and examined the boy. Then she lifted him and carried him to her car. They hurried to the hospital. Many people crowded around the driver who looked perplexed (糊涂的),and his face turned white. Later a policeman came and calmed the situation downAs there was nothing I could do, I left the place where the accident happened and walked down the road carefully.
It's terrible to witness an accident. I don't think I can forget it. Certainly, I would not like to get into one. So I have to be more careful in the future.

Haiyan is 7 years old. Her parents gave her an iPad as a gift for her birthday. A month later,her eyesight(视力)dropped to 300 degrees. This is serious for such a young child.
Many children in China are facing the same problem: iPad using is bringing problems to their eyesight. The problem is so common that newspapers even call the iPad the "No. 1 killer of children's eyesight!"
"There are about 30 shortsighted children coming every day, "said Hu Dali, an eye doctor at Guiyang Aier Eye Hospital. "Half of those children have poor eyesight because they have played with phones and iPads for too long. "
Doctors and scientists say children's vision(视觉)is not yet fully developed and their eyes get tired more easily. The screen of an iPad uses very bright(明亮的)LED backlight. If children look at an iPad screen for a long time, their eyes do not have time to rest. This will make their eyesight worse over time.
Doctors advise that users should hold their iPads between 40-60 centimeters(厘米)away from them. The brightness of the screen should be comfortable for children. Parents should also stop their children from using an iPad for more than one hour every day.
