We can study, find information and communicate with friends through computers and phones. However, spending a lot of time working, reading, texting and gaming through digital devices (数码设备) is bad for our eyes. According to the American Optometric Association, 70 to 75 percent of computer workers have eye problems. Digital eyestrain (眼睛疲劳) is one of the most common problems. People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain, watering and otherproblems. These problems have started to increase among children. “Children get cellphones at younger ages and are using them very often during the day,” Sarah Hinkley, spokeswoman for the American Optometric Association, told USA Today. The good news is that there are many things you can do to reduce digital eyestrain. When using a computer, first sit in your chair and reach out your arm. Your hand should rest comfortably on the screen, as if youre high-fiving the screen. Increase text size until your eyes feel comfortable. When you are using a mobile phone, keep it at least 30 cm from your eyes and just below eye level. Try not to use it under sunlight. 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. 23. What can we know from Sarah Hinkley? A.

By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser! I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that. Anas texts came really fastfor the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about howbad everything 5 was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better. The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right! I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didnt. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way. But what did change was me - I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls! I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isnt so hard anymore. Even though I couldnt change my situation, I could change my attitude - and that made all thedifference. 29. “Loserville” is a section for.
