It is a good chance for us to improve our eye health. What are common eye problems we have today? How can we protect our eyes? Read on to find out the answer. Eyes are important in our everyday life. We use them to read books, see colors and the wonders of the world. But sometimes, we use them too much and it hurt 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, smartphones and iPads. This has caused a new problem for our eyes: digital (数字的)eyestrain (眼疲劳). People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain, watering and other eye problems. But don't worry. The following tips can help you protect your eyes. Try them out. (1)When you are watching electronic screens(电子屏幕), keep them at least 30 cm from your eyes. Try not to use your smartphone in direct sunlight. (2)Blink (眨眼) 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. (4)Spend less time in front of screens. One to two hours a day is OK for your eyes. 31. What should you do if you want to keep your eyes healthy? A. Don't watch TV or use any phones at any time. B. Make reading text easier and shorter until your eyes feel comfortable. C. Every 20 minutes' read, take a 20-second rest and look a little far away. D. Keep mobile phones far from your eyes. Try to use your mobile phone in dark. 32. According to the 20-20-20 break rule, we'd better take a break 　 　 if we need to watch the electronic screens for one and a half hours. A. once B. twice C. three times D. four times 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. Reading books in bed is the most important reason for nearsightedness B.
