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.

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.
