浙江省浙派初中名校长联盟2024-2025学年上学期八年级期中考试英语试题
I'm the mother of a five-year-old boy. "Mommy, where are you going?" Dave asks me when I am putting on my running shoes on a cold Sunday morning. "Go running, " I say. "Why?" He asks me in surprise. He is only five, but it is a question that I can't easily answer. I often ask myself, "Cathy, why are you go running?" I don't know, but something lets me go. So I say to Dave, "Something lets me go. "
The truth is that just before you run, it's still difficult to explain(解释) to someone why you run. Of course, some people run to lose weight or to be healthy, and these are good reasons.
Running is difficult, that' s because you need to persist every day. However, running is also easy to do. It's cheap, and you can do it whenever you want. There are over two million people in England running at least once a week. I'm one of those two million runners. I go running not to lose weight or to be healthy. I run five kilometers every morning. After that I feel great, and it's easy for me to do the other things. After my busy work, I usually go out to run, and I think it is the most wonderful time in a day. I love running and I will continue to run. I hope more people love to run every day.
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.
