Now Aarons friends call him Wheelz, and he says its huge praise.Though Aaron makes his
21、stunts (特技表演) look easy, doing tricks in a wheelchair is very different from using a skateboard or bike. Its a completely different skill set. If a skateboarder goes into a backflip like Aarons and doesnt start out with enough rotation (旋转), he or she can bend his or her body to speed up. This allow
22、s a skateboarder to make complete rotation in time for a successful landing. But Aaron cant bend his body any more than it is already. That means Aaron has to have everything perfect before going into a backflip. He needs to launch himself to just the right height. If he doesnt, he could fall on the
23、 ground completely. My rotation is so quick that I dont have much time to think, says Aaron. Aarons stunts take a lot of practice.

30、n their babys teeth. Experts generally agree that this is fine early in life. Most children stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four.

The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to “_”.A. toothache B. parents trouble C. thumb sucking D. experts adviceDChildren who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming
34、 nearsighted, new research suggests. In the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren. The scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not
35、been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did become nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors. The researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average
36、age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60minute class of outdoor activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. The othe

After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention(干预) group had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group. It is not clear exactly why spending more time outsi
38、de would benefit childrens eyesight, the researchers said. However, some researches have suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine(多巴胺) of the eye. In turn, dopamine is known to restrain（抑制）the type of growth in the eye that
39、is associated with nearsightedness. Based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight. However, its important to protect kids skin and eyes from UV light, which can be damaging.32. What did the children in t
40、he intervention group do during each school day?A. Attend an extra class of outdoor activities.B. Continue to do their usual activities.C. Spend one hour in doing eye exercises.D.

41、 to poor sight. B. It can damage peoples brain.C. It is beneficial to eyesight. D. It means low levels of light intensity.34.What may be discussed in the following paragraph？A. How to design outdoor activities for kids.B. How to prevent kids becoming nearsighted.C. How to protect kids skin and eyes
42、from UV light.D. How to encourage adults to join in outdoor activities.35.Which can serve as the best title for the passage？A. The More Time Outdoors, the BetterB.
