9、 returned home from the war . On every American highway you could see soldiers in uniform hitchhiking home to their families , as was the custom at that time in America .Sadly, the thrill of his reunion with his family was soon overshadowed . My grandmother became very ill and had to be hospitalized

10、. It was her kidneys, and the doctors told my father that she needed a blood transfusion immediately or she would not live through the night . The problem was that grandmother's blood type was AB- , a very rare type even today, but even harder to get then because there were no blood banks or air

11、 flights to ship blood. All the family members were typed, but not one member was a match . So the doctors gave the family no hope； my grandmother was dying .My father left the hospital in tears to gather up all the family members , so that everyone would get a chance to tell grandmother goodbye. As

12、 my father was driving down the highway , he passed a soldier in uniform hitchhiking home to his family . Deep in grief, my father had no inclination at that moment to do a good deed . Yet it was almost as if something outside himself pulled him to a stop , and he waited as the stranger climbed into

13、 the car.My father was too upset to even ask the soldier his name , but the soldier noticed my father's tears right away and inquired about them . Through his tears, my father told this total stranger that his mother was lying in a hospital dying because the doctors had been unable to locate her

14、 blood type , AB- , and if they did not do it before nightfall , she would surely die .It got very quiet in the car . Then this unidentified soldier extended his hand out to my father , palm up .

18、back and neck ache ? If so , you are likely one of many people today who suffer from digital eyestrain , also called computer-vision syndrome .Eyestrain is often related to the amount of exposure to screens , the distance from eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens simultaneously. However,

19、studies have also shown that the blue light produced by digital devices today reaches further into the eyes than other kinds of light . This light actually assists attention during the day but can result in interrupted sleep patterns at night.Scientists have also said that eyestrain is not a necessa

20、ry evil, even in a modern world that revolves around technology . Changing some simple details about your relative position toscreens, such as staying about 60 centimeters away will help . Also , avoid overhead and other direct sources of light, and use shaded lamps and window blinds while looking a

21、t digital devices instead.Beyond the way that relates to digital screens , there are also ways to change how you view screens that are helpful in combating eyestrain. To begin with , your computer screen should be high-resolution （高清的）,at least 50 centimeters wide diagonally and may require a screen

22、 filter to decrease reflections . Also , be aware that "computer glasses", which cut down glare and blue light , are available and those contact lenses can increase the risk of eyestrain. Besides, to reduce your risk for computer-vision syndrome and neck , back and shoulder pain, take freq

23、uent breaks during your computer workday . Many workers take only two 15-minute breaks from their computer throughout their day . According to a recent study , discomfort and eyestrain are significantly reduced when computer workers take four additional five-minute "mini-breaks" throughout

24、 their workday . And these additional breaks don't reduce the workers' productivity .Finally , many of us fall into bad habits while using digital screens that only worsen the effects of eyestrain . While viewing digital screens , many people blink one third less often than they usually do .

25、 Place a reminder on your computer to "blink" so that your eyes don't dry out. Also , rest your eyes' focusing muscles by using the 20-20-20 rule： Every 20 minutes , focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds .8. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about ? A. The dangers of eyestrain.B.

27、sage that .A. overhead lights make the eyes less tired B. taking frequent breaks reduces eyestrain C. people tend to blink more often at a computer D. technology and eyestrain unavoidably go hand in hand 11. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage ? C.D.The goings-on in the consult

28、ing room have become more transparent （透明的）recently . Thank goodness. We know more than the lines supplied by the movies in which the therapist knows all and gives wisdom to those who , sitting on a couch , consult with them . Therapists are interested in how the individual , the couple or the famil

29、y experiences and understands their difficulties . That has to be a starting place.We can be of value if our first port of call is to listen , to gradually feel ourselves into the shoes of the other, to absorb the feelings that are being conveyed and to think and then to say some words .The thinking

30、 and talking that I do inside the consulting room is at odds with many features of ordinary conversation . Not that it is mysterious , but it isn't concerned with traditional ways of sharing or identifying . The therapist makes patterns and theories, but they are also reflecting on the words tha

31、t are spoken , how they are delivered and how the words , once spoken, affect the speaker and the therapist themselves.Words can give voice to previously unknown feelings and thoughts . That's why it's called the talking cure . But just as words reveal so , too, can they obscure, and this ge

32、ts us to the listening and feeling part of the therapy . Whatever and however the words are delivered, they will have an impact on me as a therapist . I might feel hopeless , I might feel energized , I might feel pushed away , I might feel demanded of , I might feel pulled to find solutions . The in

33、fluence of the other is what makes any relationship possible or impossible . A therapist is trained to reflect on how those who consult with them affect them . As I try to step into the shoes of the other and then out again, my effort is to hold both those experiences , plus an awareness of my ease

34、or discomfort with what I encounter in the relationship .Feelings are the bread and butter of our work in the consulting room . They inform or modify our ideas and they enable us to find an emotional bridge to what can so hurt for the people we are working with . Along with the more commonly thought

35、-about theories and ideas we have about the psyche, they are an essential part of the therapist's toolkit, certainly for me . The talking cure means talking , yes. It also means the therapist is listening , thinking and feeling .12. In which way is the thinking and talking the writer does differ

36、ent from ordinary conversation ? A. It may not be understood by patients .B. It is full of terms used by most therapists .C. It is a good reflection of traditional talking .D. It involves thinking about how people speak .13. The word" obscure" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to .A. can
