Either way, theres no question that we place great value on our eyes and our eyesight. Surveys have shown that of the five senses, sight is the one that people fear losing the most. Thinking about the important function of our eyes, wed give them the best care possible, but sometimes we get too busy or forget to do a few simple things that can keep our eyes healthy.Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate.

At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break when working at a computer.Make sure your eyes do not get injured in the first place.

What is the best title of the passage?AGive Your Eyes Some RestBGood Habits Bring HealthCProtect the Windows of the SoulDSimple Way of Eye Exams wastes much of your moneyOver the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary,middle and high school education in the U S. The reason for this direction is well founded:research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behindtheir international peers in all of these subject areas. Education officials, teachers andparents all felt that the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rushto play catchup in STEMrelated areas, theres one important aspect that is beingneglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.Its long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high schoollevel helps students improve in many areas, such as selfconfidence, selfexpression,communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree thatall of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the sameparents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排) study time and classroom time to a subject likedrama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. Its even more difficult forpolicy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama,when the skills arts subjects develop are considered “soft skills.” When the modern world iscalling out for “hard” skills, like those needed to succeed in the techdriven 21st century,how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smallerand smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question “why spend time and money on drama?” is that dramaeducation has been scientifically proven to improve students achievement, especially incommunication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop studentswith highly refined skills in STEM subjects, its equally important that we train the teachersthat will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is thebest way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearablydry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in whichthe communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation.Drama improves students public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectivelypresent papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. Its alsovery important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEMworld, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the “ soft ” people skillsnecessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilledone becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate andwork in teams.While the nationwide trend (趋势) to focus on playing catchup in STEM education isreasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, its important not to forget the huge effectarts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of our children. Thequestion parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking themselves is not “can weafford to support arts education in schools?” but rather “can we afford not to?”20 . Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?ABecause the world has moved into a techdriven century.BBecause STEM classes have long been neglected in America.CBecause education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.DBecause US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.21 .
