When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we don’t have a television. People think that we are strange. “But what do you do in the evening?” they are always asking. The answer is very simple. My wife and I have something that we’re interested in. We certainly don’t spend our evenings looking at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often goes to evening classes in foreign languages. This is very useful because we often go to other countries for our holidays. I collect stamps and I am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing cards together.
Sometimes there’s no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and go on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost --- no television! So they don’t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full because they all come to us. They all have a good time, Instead of sitting quietly in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games.

When there is a fire.
Run away as fast as yon can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift.

Have you seen Avatar? It’s a popular 3D movie, and you may have to wear a special pair of glasses – 3D glasses, to see it. The 3D glasses make the images from the movie look as if they are coming straight at you.
3D movies are really exciting to watch. More and more 3D movies are coming to theaters. Some say that 3D TV sets will come into our homes in the near future. 3D technology can make TV and movies more exciting. However, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies. Why?
When we look at an object, each eye sees it at a different angle (角度). Our eyes send the two images to our brain, and the brain puts them together. 3D technology uses two film projectors (投影机)。 One projects left-eye-image and the other projects a right-eye-image. 3D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye. So, when we are watching a 3D movie, our brain can’t put together the images sent to our eyes. The brain needs to work harder at “reading” the images. That makes it easier for people with eye problems to get dizzy (头晕的) or have headaches.
Dr John Hagan, an eye doctor in Kansas City, said if your eyes can’t focus on the same object at once, you will have trouble watching 3D movies.
小题1:What is Avatar?| A．It’s a kind of 3D projector. | B．It’s a kind of 3D TV set. | | C．It’s a movie. | D．It’s an animal. |

小题4:When we look at an object, .| A．each eye sees the object at the same angle | | B．each eye sees a different object at the same time | | C．our brain puts the two different pictures together | | D．there will be two film projectors in our eyes |
小题5:If you wear a pair of 3D glasses, .| A．you will see different images in both eyes | | B．you will see the same images in both eyes | | C．your brain can’t work at all | | D．the images can be put together easily by your brain |
