Computers can injure (伤害) you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly. You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.

Your eyes

Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be more than 50 centimeters from the screen. Don’t forget to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.

When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on (反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you，the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.

Your hands and wrists (手腕)

Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times.

If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules:

1) Rest your wrists on something.

2) Keep your elbows (肘) at the same height (高度)as the keyboard.

3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.

Your back

Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck. So you shouldn’t bend your back when you sit. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every half an hour and exercise your arms, legs and neck.

Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.

Look at the cat on the left. Find anything strange?

In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cat’s ears were folded（折着的）, bent（弯曲）forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the “Scottish Fold”.

The Scottish Fold has a round head and big eyes. Its neck and legs are short. They make it look very lovely. Interestingly（有趣地）, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears. And when they are growing up day by day, some cats’ ears will begin to fold. So, the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and straight ears.

There is a nickname（昵称）for the Scottish Fold. It is the “Messenger（信使）of Peace”. Why? Because the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In many different places, for example, at a noisy house or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.
