All 3 ? D glasses have the sae purpose: to bring different iages to each eye. 3 ? D content has two sets of iages, one for each eye, that are slightly offset (偏移). When the separate iages hit each eye, the brain senses the together as a three ? diensional iage.
Al though anaglyphs can create a good sense of distance, they daage the quality of the sensed color. That’s why the anaglyp h 3 ? D content has been declining in recent years. The next type of passive 3 ? D involves polarized (偏振) glasses, which work siilarly to anaglyphs. Instead of using colored lenses, the lenses are polarized, eaning they only let certain light through.
By displaying one iage that is polarized “up and down”, another iage that is polarized “left and right” and having each lens only let one of the two types of light through, these glasses can achieve a 3 ? D effect. This can be very effective and does not have the color probles associa ted with anaglyphs. For this reason, polarized 3 ? D glasses are the technology of chose for ost 3 ? D content in ovie theaters.
The ost recent type of 3 ? D glasses, called shutter glasses. Instead of having two slightly different iages displayed at the sae tie and filtering one to eac h eye, shutter glasses ake each lens go dark and then transparent again at the sae tie with the iages displayed on the screen. When the screen displays the iage for the left eye, the right lens will go dark so that only the left eye can see it. Then, when the iage for the right eye is displayed, the opposite happens. This is why shu tter glasses are called an “active” 3 ? D technology.
56. The role of 3 ? D glasses is to .
A. ensure the separate iages hit each eyeB. for a 3 ? D iage in each eye
C. prevent iages fro being separatedD. provide each eye with the sae iage
57. According to the passage, anaglyph glasses .

59. According to the passage, shutter glasses .
A. give people a cofortable view of the fil
B. ake people feel theselves part of the fil

Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet any people find it boring. But what if aking your orning jog a creative one? Like juping fro Walls and over gaps, and ground rolls?

Fro a very early age, soe children exhibit better self-control than others .Now, a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child’s low self-control can predict poor health, oney troubles and even a criinal record in t heir adult years.
The study led by offitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children fro birth to age 32 in Dunedin, New Zealand.
“The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the ost health probles in their 30s,” offitt said, “and they had the worst financial situation. They were ore likely to have a criinal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low incoe.” offitt explained that self-control probles were widely observed, and weren’t just a feature of a sall group of isbehaving kids.
offitt said it’s still unclear why soe children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that it’s ostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence. But good self-control can be set to run in failies because children with good self-control are ore likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.

B. scientists knoell why soe children have better self-control
C. self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criinal activity
D. willpower as a child really influences people’s chances of adulthood
69. What can be inferred fro the passage?
A. Self-control cannot be taught in schools.
B. The study is restricted within few participants.
C. Good parenting can iprove self-control and life success.
D. It’s never too late to deal with self-control probles.
70. Which of the following ight be the best title of the passage?

Copared to checks, a credit card allows sall short ? ter loans to be quickly ade to a custoer who need not calculate a balance reaining b efore every transaction. Additionally there is no need for a custoer to carry any cash for ost purposes. Credit cards also offer consuers an easy way to track expenses.
Credit cards are very convenien t to use. But people who use credit cards irresponsibly can soon find theselves heavily in debt. Cardholders borrow oney fro a bank each tie they charge soething. They avoid interest charges if they pay their bill in full each onth. But if they only ake the iniu payent, it ay take years to pay off a debt. Interest is continually ch arged on the unpaid balance.

Section B (10 points)
Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions according to the inforation given in the passage and the required words liit. Write your answer on your answer sheet.
Fro now on, never spend your precious tie thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcoings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to ake those seeds gro
The seeds, and the power to grow the, are contained in the ost awesoe achine ever created: the huan ind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success only if you ake the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-estee. Your level of self-estee is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-estee are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial (长期的) victis and artyrs. Th ey are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born fro setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, eotional, or spiritual, you are respons ible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firly believe it, you are on the road to success.
