Bamb drifting dates back t ver 2,000 years ag in the Chishui River area f Guizhu. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bzhu district f Zunyi city was knwn fr its high-quality nanmu.

Three minutes f lking at red light nce a week may help ur eyesight (the ability t see), new research suggests. The findings shw that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment fr declines in clr visin (色觉减退) as we get lder.
Last year, researchers frm University Cllege Lndn did a study n red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy vlunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked t lk at red light fr three minutes every day fr tw weeks. Tests later fund that the eyesight f peple ver the age f 40 imprved.
T test the pssible weak pints f their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead f using the light every day, they used it nce a week. The new study included 20 vlunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy visin. Sme received red light therapy in the mrning, and thers received it in the afternn. They were then tested n their clr visin up t a week later.
On the whle, thse wh gt the treatment in the mrning shwed a 17% imprvement in their clr visin, even a week later. Thse wh gt the treatment in the afternn did nt have any imprvement.
“We’ve fund that ne single expsure (暴露) t red light in the mrning can greatly imprve declining visin,” said lead authr Glen Jeffrey.
The findings d supprt their earlier wrk, and they might make the treatment mre practicable, since a nce-weekly treatment is easier t stick t than a daily ne. But the team’s prmising results are still drawn n small numbers f healthy vlunteers. Larger studies wuld be needed t shw the benefits f red light therapy.
“In the near future, a nce-a-week three-minute expsure t deep red light culd be dne while making a cffee r listening t a sng, and such a simple thing culd change eye care and visin arund the wrld,” Jeffrey said.
Given its lw cst (as little as $15) per device(设备), and simplicity, theteam is excited abut the future f their therapy.
32. What plays a key rle in red light therapy?
A.The device used in the treatment. B. The time f day fr treatment.
C. The time that ne treatment lasts.D. The number f treatments received.
33. What makes it necessary t imprve the study?
A. The age f the vlunteers.B. The pr visin f the vlunteers.
C. The health cnditin f the vlunteers.D. The number f the vlunteers.
34. What is Jeffrey’s attitude twards the future f the therapy?
A. Hpeful. B. Dubtful.C. Carefree.D. Unclear.
35. What is the purpse f this text?
A. T state the imprtance f eye care.B. T explain the value f deep red light.

M: Well, t remain up t date with happenings arund the wrld, I always fllw the news, but I have a keen interest in the lcal news as they have a direct impact n my life. Let me talk abut ne such lcal news that I came acrss in the lcal newper last week which was abut the cnstructin f a park fr the city residents. Actually, there is n park in my lcality. Hwever, there is an abandned factry where peple thrw the garbage. At the same time, yu can see hmeless animals all the time.
The lcal administratin has nw decided t transfrm it int a public park. It wuld definitely help t make my lcality clean and green. In additin, it wuld be a wnderful place fr ld peple t sit tgether t play cards and enjy ther activities. Similarly, it wuld als prvide a safe playing area fr children. In my area, mst children play n the streets which are quite dangerus as there is always a risk f accidents. Last but nt least, peple these days suffer frm many health cncerns, but in the park, they can g fr a walk. The cnstructin wrk wuld start by next mnth, and I just saw that this has brught a huge smile n the faces f lcal residents.
