Finally, you finish all your schoolwork and sit back in your chair. Suddenly you feel a headache and realize your eyes are painful. What’s going on? Doctors say that many students are spending too much time in front of screens, especially during online classes. The following might be of some help to you.
THE 20-20-20 RULE
This gives your eyes a break from long screen time. It suggests looking at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds after 20 minutes of work on the screen. You can then continue working pain free.
•Studies show that people blink(眨眼睛) less often when looking at a screen. Keep your eyes wet by blinking often or using eye drops.
•Sit up straight about an arm’s length(长度) away from the screen. Make sure you’re looking down at your screen. Stand up and exercise often to avoid neck and shoulder pain.
•What about blue light blacking glasses (防蓝光眼镜)? They may look cool, but research shows that blue light isn’t the biggest cause of eye tiredness. So ask doctors about computer glasses before putting them on.

The elephant is the biggest and strongest animal on land now, but on earth the biggest animal is the blue whale (鲸鱼). They live in the oceans around the world. Most blue whales can live for more than 80 years. But now, sadly, many whales are dying from one thing: plastic (塑料).
Human beings use too much plastic. People are polluting the oceans. When you throw plastic away, it doesn’t just disappear. Over 90 percent of the world’s plastic doesn’t get recycled (循环). A lot of plastic ends up in the ocean.
Most of the whales do not know the danger of plastic. They think it is food. But in fact, plastic is poisonous (有毒的). Last year, a whale died with 40 kilograms of plastic in his stomach.
Worse still, whales can easily become entangled (缠住) in plastic in the ocean, such as waste fishing net s and rubbish. They can cause hurt. Whales have to spend lots of energy swimming with those heavy loads (负载).
It’s important for us to protect blue whales. Please stop using too much plastic! Maybe one plastic bag or one coffee cup won’t make a big difference. However, when all the people all over the world start to use a little less plastic, it will make a huge difference to whales and, one day, to humans as well!

Have you ever fought like cat and dog with brothers and sisters? In fact, they make you healthier.
Having a younger sibling might help control weight. A university study finds that it’s easier for children with a sibling to keep a healthy weight. Weight problems can last life long, so having a younger brother or sister might well be worth it.
Having brothers and sisters also makes you kind. The same research, which looked at 395 families, found that children with siblings did more good things. ▲
What’s more, brothers and sisters raise your chance of a happy relationship with your future husband or wife. In fact, the more siblings you have, the higher the chance of a happy marriage you own. Researchers believe that having other kids in your family makes you better at dealing with difficult situations in close relationships.
Siblings can help you develop healthy living habits. A survey of more than 15, 000 people found that almost half of people said their family and friends had the biggest influence on their health. Brothers and sisters set examples for each other in fitness and healthy eating.
So many advantages lie with the ones in your daily fight. But what if we don’t have brothers or sisters? Don’t worry. Research also shows that having close friends can be as helpful. So make friends by joining school groups and finding people who enjoy the same things as you.

Growing up with reading
Have you watched the program Everlasting Classics on TV? This program makes us more interested in reading books, especially classics. Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds, but also make us cleverer and more confident. Our study can be improved if we read more good books.
These days I am reading a book whose title is Jane Eyre, which attracts me a lot. The writer is called Charotte Bronte, who was born in England in 1816. She had two sisters and one brother. But unfortunately, their mother died when they were very young. Actually Jane Eyre is a book whose theme is love. In the story, Jane Eyre lived a hard life, but she was self-confident and perseverant. In her heart, there is always a mind that if you hold a belief and stick to it, you will eventually achieve your dream.

Finally, you finish all your schoolwork and sit back in your chair. Suddenly you feel a headache and realize your eyes are painful. What’s going on? Doctors say that many students are spending too much time in front of screens, especially during online classes. The following might be of some help to you.
THE 20-20-20 RULE
This gives your eyes a break from long screen time. It suggests looking at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds after 20 minutes of work on the screen. You can then continue working pain free.
•Studies show that people blink(眨眼睛) less often when looking at a screen. Keep your eyes wet by blinking often or using eye drops.
•Sit up straight about an arm’s length(长度) away from the screen. Make sure you’re looking down at your screen. Stand up and exercise often to avoid neck and shoulder pain.
•What about blue light blacking glasses (防蓝光眼镜)? They may look cool, but research shows that blue light isn’t the biggest cause of eye tiredness. So ask doctors about computer glasses before putting them on.

The elephant is the biggest and strongest animal on land now, but on earth the biggest animal is the blue whale (鲸鱼). They live in the oceans around the world. Most blue whales can live for more than 80 years. But now, sadly, many whales are dying from one thing: plastic (塑料).
Human beings use too much plastic. People are polluting the oceans. When you throw plastic away, it doesn’t just disappear. Over 90 percent of the world’s plastic doesn’t get recycled (循环). A lot of plastic ends up in the ocean.
Most of the whales do not know the danger of plastic. They think it is food. But in fact, plastic is poisonous (有毒的). Last year, a whale died with 40 kilograms of plastic in his stomach.
Worse still, whales can easily become entangled (缠住) in plastic in the ocean, such as waste fishing net s and rubbish. They can cause hurt. Whales have to spend lots of energy swimming with those heavy loads (负载).
It’s important for us to protect blue whales. Please stop using too much plastic! Maybe one plastic bag or one coffee cup won’t make a big difference. However, when all the people all over the world start to use a little less plastic, it will make a huge difference to whales and, one day, to humans as well!

Have you ever fought like cat and dog with brothers and sisters? In fact, they make you healthier.
Having a younger sibling might help control weight. A university study finds that it’s easier for children with a sibling to keep a healthy weight. Weight problems can last life long, so having a younger brother or sister might well be worth it.
Having brothers and sisters also makes you kind. The same research, which looked at 395 families, found that children with siblings did more good things. ▲
What’s more, brothers and sisters raise your chance of a happy relationship with your future husband or wife. In fact, the more siblings you have, the higher the chance of a happy marriage you own. Researchers believe that having other kids in your family makes you better at dealing with difficult situations in close relationships.
Siblings can help you develop healthy living habits. A survey of more than 15, 000 people found that almost half of people said their family and friends had the biggest influence on their health. Brothers and sisters set examples for each other in fitness and healthy eating.
So many advantages lie with the ones in your daily fight. But what if we don’t have brothers or sisters? Don’t worry. Research also shows that having close friends can be as helpful. So make friends by joining school groups and finding people who enjoy the same things as you.
