Smartphone, Poor Sight
As we all know, smartphones make our lives easier, so we can find people around us always busy on them. But have you ever thought about what they mean to our eyes?
According to a survey, many people have become near-sighted（近视）because they spend too much time on the screens. When we look at something far away, our eyes blink（眨眼）about 15 times every minute. But when we look at things closer to the face, our eyes get drier because the blinkings slow down. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. Bright screens can hurt our eyes and even cause more serious eye illness.
So use your smartphones wisely, and start to protect your eyes before it’s too late!
Hold the phone at least 30cm away from your eyes when using it.
Don’t forget to blink your eyes often before they get dry.
Keep the light on when you use smartphones at night.
Take a break at least every thirty minutes and look at something far away. Then try to look at the top of your nose and repeat this several times. Why do many people use smartphones?

When I was about 12, I hated a girl. I even thought of her as an enemy. She liked to pointed out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was too thin; I was not a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. At last, I couldn’t stand her. I ran to my father.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Jane, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. I couldn’t change some of them, like being very thin, but more I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a pretty clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,”he said. “You know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth.”

Nowadays, more and more junior school students choose to study abroad. It is good for them? We interviewed some students. Here are some different opinions.
Li Xin: Kids now in china are less independent. Usually they can’t live along without their parents. But studying abroad is a good way to improve their self—care ability, because they cannot depend on anyone but themselves when stay abroad.
Zhou Jing: I’ve always wanted to study in the UK. I think there is a completely different culture waiting for me to learn about. Although we may learn about it from textbooks and the Internet. I still think it is much better to look and feel by ourselves.
Wu Wei: Some students want to study abroad because they don’t like the senior high school entrance exam(中考)， But they need to study hard and keep a good habit. Although the exam brings students pressure, it helps. If not, some of them may relax too much and learn little.
Chen Yu: China has a long history, and I am a big fan of it. As a Chinese, I think we should learn about our history and culture first and then compare it with others. On the other hand, there are too many new things in foreign countries. Lots of students may pay more attention to them and forget about their study.
