Eyes are important in our everyday life . We use them to read books , see colors and view the wonders of the world . But sometimes , we use them too much and it hurts them .
In the past , nearsightedness(近视)was a common eye problem among children . This is mostly because of their bad eye habits , such as watching TV too long and reading books in bed .
However , today’s technology is changing the way we live . Children spend more time working and playing in front of computers , smart phones and iPads . US children spend more than 42 hours a week in front of electronic screens(电子屏幕), US’ABC news reported .

But don’t worry . The following tips can help you protect your eyes . Try them out .
Screen advice :
1. When you are watching electronic screens , keep them at least 30 cm from your eyes . Try not to use your smart phone in direct sunlight .
2. Blink(眨眼)more often when you are looking at the screen . This can help to stop dry eyes .
3. Remember to take a 20-20-20 break : every 20 minutes , take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet ( about 6 meters ) away .

I was driving home on a very hot afternoon and about to near a crossing(十字路口). One of the major traffic light had gone out , and a police officer was standing in the middle of around twenty lanes of very busy traffic .

I drove into the crossing , rolled down my windows as I passed the officer , and gave him the bottle of water . Though he wasn’t able to take the bottle , he broke into a smile and said , “ Thank you . ”
