15、 (B)(B) The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jewelers before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The
16、assistant listened carefully and told him hed better buy a necklace (项链). He wasnt used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending, because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped hi
17、m to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five oclock. Half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first bro
18、ught out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the ones she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfactorily. Later James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married. 20. The good title for this passage is “ _“. A. A Clever Assista

21、g Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveedun Train. Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-to m
22、ake 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving
23、the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension. But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the childs developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children arent yet available. We do not know if regular or
24、 daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful. The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each
25、day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them - 5 - with no
