Mr Edwards can never go to work on time. He works in London but he lives in the countryside (乡村) of a city called Cambridge. He loves his home, so he doesn’t want to move to London; he loves his job, so he wants to keep it. The problem is that the traffic in London is very heavy every day. There are too many cars. During the rush hour you can walk faster than you drive a car!
Mr Edwards thinks a helicopter (直升机) is the final solution to this problem. Mr Edwards
wants to fly over everyone else. A helicopter will be expensive and he will have to learn how to fly it but he says that many kinds of cars are also expensive. He is right. One of the most famous British car is the Bentley and it is only for rich people.
His wife said he could just ride a bicycle, but he argued that there are too many hills in Britain and that Cambridge is more than 60 kilometres from London. Then his wife suggested that he should take the train to London. “That won’t work,” he said. “I like the feeling of freedom (自由) when I’m driving. I won’t feel that on the train! Also, I will have to walk from the station to my office. You know how difficult it is to cross the road even at traffic lights.”
Then he thought for a moment and continued, “But in a helicopter I can feel completely free and crossing the road will be easy!” He started to sing, “Up there, where the air is cleaner!”
His wife sighed, “But my dear, up there, you will get airsick!”

I am near-sighted, and my eyesight is getting worse, because I spend too much playing computer games and watching TV. When I play computer games, I always forget about my other plans. I am a bit ashamed (羞愧的) of this habit (习惯). I also like watching television. Sometimes I keep the TV on even while I am doing my homework. I usually sit one metre away from my TV and watch it for hours if my parents do not ask me to do something else.
I get to know how bad my eyesight is when I am in a car. I look out of the window at the shops along the street, but I can’t see the signs clearly. I have to guess the shop names from the curves (弧线) and lines. I try my best not to wear glasses, because they change my appearance and make me look like a hen. I hate my eyes for making me wear glasses during school hours. I love my eyes at the same time because they let me see the beautiful world.
Love your eyes and keep yourself away from computer games and TV. Always remember to protect (保护) your eyes. The world will be dark after you become near-sighted.
