25、t countries, including Germany, Australia and the United States. The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it.

26、o took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out_. Though silent dinners may seem curious, the idea is not a new one.

33、e women and girls. John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign(运动), has opened 1, 650 schools and 15, 000 libraries in some of the worlds poorest communities (社区). He said that from the beginning, Room to Reads goal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries. In 1
34、998, on a three-week vacation journey in Nepal, Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his school in a far mountain village. The experience changed Woods life. This headmaster had 450 students at the school, but he didnt have any books, Wood said. He had a library that was empty. Wood
35、promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village year later with some of his friends with 3, 000 books. And that was just the start. Later, Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read. He believes that world change begins with educated children. Today, the programme ca
36、n be found in 10 countries across Asia and Africa. Wood believes the key to the programmes success is local support. While Room to Read gives away money and provides books, communities offer land and parents help build the school. Agnes, a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library, is
37、 proud to say the literacy at her school has improved. Room to Reads biggest challenge is the huge need. Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy programmes.

The 3D glasses make the images from the
41、screen look like they are there in the room with you. Three-dimensional, or 3D, means having three dimensions (维度): width, height and depth. 3D technology(技术)is based on the way the human brain(大脑) and eyes work. Because the pupils of a persons eyes are about 6. 5cm apart(分开), when we look at someth
42、ing, each eye sees it from a different angle(角度). Our eyes send the two images to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the image from the right eye and the image from the left eye allows us to see depth. When we view pictures and television in two dimensions, eac
43、h eye gets the same information. That is because the image has no real depth, and there is only one of viewing it. So the goal of 3D technology is to get a different image into each of the viewer. It uses two film projectors. One projects a left eye image and the other projects a right image. The 3D
44、 glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye. While watching 3D films, we feel that we are in the same environment as the things were watching. However, it also has its disadvantages. The 3D glasses work by controlling the amount of light that reaches the eyes. It makes the screen look dar
45、ker. Whats more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies, because their brains need to work harder to read the images.( ) 37.

A. how we see things in 3D B. how 3D films are made C. what the human brain does for our eyes D.
