M: It's coming along. But I've been staring at the computer screen for hours and my eyes hurt. W: Yeah Typing the words on the screen really make your eyes dry and tired. You should take a break. M: I can't. The deadline is approaching. W: You know, I read about computers and eye problems recently. The article says that they are usually caused by not blinking your eyes enough. M: Blinking？ I thought I just needed new glasses. W: when you blink, the movement of closing and opening your eyes, even though it happens really fast relaxes your eyes. M: That makes sense. W: People using computer tends to stare at the screen and blink less often than they normally would. M: That is what I am doing. And I am suffering from the dry eyes. W: That is one of the typical symptoms. M: But what does it have to do with the computer？ W: The article I read about the office workers found that the workers averagely blink 22 times a minute when relaxed But just 7 times a minute while looking at the text on a computer screen. M: Wow That's quite a difference. W: Yeah. So you need to blink your eyes and take a break from the computer M: I wonder if using some kind of eye-drops will make me feel better.

Film makers have often based their work on historical events. Why go to the trouble of writing a brand new story when so many exciting things have happened in the pasty People will often already know the story, That leaves the director free to thrill us with details of what life as like in imperial China or ancient Rome. Most historians dislike this attitude. They see history as a complex thing, influenced by great political and economic forces. Film audiences are not very interested in this. They want kings and queens. They pay their money to see fancy clothes and a good fight. And this is what the film industry tries to give them. Sometimes this approach can cause trouble. The film Titanic was a success around the world. In one of the film's most dramatic moments, a member of the ship's crew begins shooting into the crowd trying to get into the lifeboats as the ship sinks. When the film was released, the real life sailor's surviving relatives protested. They pointed out that this was not what had actually happened The film makers made a public apology. But everyone who has seen the film remembers the sight of the man shooting into the crowd. Defenders of "Hollywood history" say that most of the time the film makers get the facts right. The action is based on real events and the clothes are accurate. People talk in the way that they would have done in the past even if they do it with a modern American accent. For many people, a historical film will be the closest they come to discovering the past. It is still possible to find mistakes. Millions have been spent on putting together a replica of ancient Rome. The costumes are right and the atmosphere is perfect. Yet if you look very closely, a plane can be seen passing through the sky above. Some film makers say that history needs to be simplified if it is to be filmed. The film maker's job is to make viewers interested. If they want to know more, they can do their own research. The difference between film history and real history is the difference between the facts and the truth. We can watch a "costume drama" and know that all the materials used are probably accurate. But if we want to find out the whole story, we have to do it ourselves. We have to go back to the books. The main point of the passage is______. A．that films based on past events are often big hits B．how much we can trust the Hollywood version of history C．that we should read books rather than see films to know the history D．why film audiences are interested in film history rather than real history

We rose tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations. We become defensive when criticized, and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem, we stalk around thinking we’re hot stuff. Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key studying into self-enhancement and attractiveness. Rather that have people simply rate their beauty compress with others, he asked them to identify an original photogragh of themselves’ from a lineup including versions that had been altered to appear more and less attractive. Visual recognition, reads the study, is “an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation”. If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image- which must did- they genuinely believed it was really how they looked. Epley found no significant gender difference in responses. Nor was there any evidence that, those who self-enhance the must (that is, the participants who thought the most positively doctored picture were real) were doing so to make up for profound insecurities. In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. “I don’t think the findings that we having have are any evidence of personal delusion”, says Epley. “It’s a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves’. If you are depressed, you won’t be self-enhancing. Knowing the results of Epley ‘s study,it makes sense that why people heat photographs of themselves Viscerally-on one level, they don’t even recognise the person in the picture as themselves, Facebook therefore ,is a self-enhancer’s paradise,where people can share only the most flattering photos, the cream of their wit ,style. ,beauty, intellect and lifestyle. it’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest,says catalina toma of Wiscon—Madison university ,”but they portray an idealized version of themselves. According to the first paragraph, social psychologist have found that ______ . A.our self-ratings are unrealistically high B.illusory superiority is baseless effect C.our need for leadership is unnatural D.self-enhancing strategies are ineffective Visual recognition is believed to be people’s______ .A.rapid watching B.conscious choice C.intuitive response D.automatic self-defence Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to______ .A.underestimate their insecurities B.believe in their attractiveness C.cover up their depressions D.oversimplify their illusions The word “Viscerally”(Line 2,para.5) is closest in meaning to_____.A.instinctively B.occasionally C.particularly D.aggressively It can be inferred that Facebook is self-enhancer’s paradise because people can _____.A.present their dishonest profiles B.define their traditional life styles C.share their intellectual pursuits D.withhold their unflattering sides 请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！
