June 6th is National Eye Care Day. 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 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, smartphones and iPads. US children spend more than 42 hours a week in front of electronic screens (电子屏幕), US’ ABC news reported.
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.
Screen advice:
1. When you are watching electronic screens, keep them at least 30 cm from your eyes. Try not to use your smartphone 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.

Yu Qiuyu is a famous writer. Once, he went to Germany to learn more about the life there. He found a room for renting(出租). The owner was an old man. Yu looked around the room and found it very nice, so he decided to rent it.
The old man smiled, saying, “Don’t worry, young man. You haven’t lived here. I think you can try living here for a few days. Then you can decide whether to live for a long time or not.” Yu thought it fair enough, and finally signed a contract(合同) of five days. The room was quite comfortable. The cleaners took away the trash every day. The hallway was always tidy and clean.
On the fifth day, when Yu wanted to talk with the old man about the long-time rent, he broke a glass carelessly. He was very nervous, feeling that the glass was expensive. However, when he told the old man on the phone, the old man said , “Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal. I’ll bring one later.” Yu swept the glass pieces into the trash bag together with other things, and put them outside of the door. A moment later, the old man came. After entering the room, he asked before Yu said anything, “Then where are the glass pieces?”
Yu answered quickly, “I put them outside.” The old man went out at once. After looking at the trash bag, he came back to the room with a gloomy face. He said to Yu, “You can move out tomorrow, because I won’t rent the room to you.”
Yu couldn’t believe his ears and asked, “Is it because I broke your favorite glass that you are upset?”
“No, it’s because you didn’t think of others.”
Just then, the old man went out of the room with a pen and another trash bag. He poured out the trash that Yu had put in the bag. Then the old man picked up every piece of glass very carefully. After a long time, he put all the glass pieces into a trash bag, and wrote with the pen on the bag: “Dangerous! Glass pieces inside”. And other trash was put into another bag, with “Safe” written on it.
