When you enjoy a meal with your friends, how do you pay the bill? Does one person pay for everything? Or do you prefer (宁愿) to split the bill evenly instead? With mobile payments, many young people prefer the latter.

Surprisingly, this can cause problems sometimes. Let’s say the bill for your lunch is 63 yuan. You and two friends decide to pay it evenly three ways — this means each person should pay 21 yuan.

One of your friends says he’ll pay the full bill first. You and your other friend can give him what you owe (欠). It’s easy to pay the bill this way. You send your friend a We Chat red packet with the exact amount. Your other friend just gives him 20 yuan because he doesn’t have enough money in his account. Your friend who pays the bill might say there is no need to give him the rest, and so the other doesn’t.

Guess what? The friend who paid for lunch probably thinks more highly of you than your other friend. Why is this?

It’s because you agreed to split the bill evenly. Everyone should pay the same amount. Your friend who didn’t pay enough didn’t stick to your agreement (约定). This might make his credit (信用) drop, even if just a little bit.

June 6 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.

      ①      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.

      ②       However, today’s technology (技术) is changing the way we live. Children spend more time working and playing in front of computers, mobile phones. US children spend about more than 42 hours a week in front of electronic screens (电子屏幕), US’ ABC news reported.

      ③      This is really bad for our eyes. People may get dry and red eyes, eye pain, watering and other eye problems.

      ④       The following tips can help you protect your eyes.

●When using a computer, you’d better make text size bigger until your eyes feel comfortable.

●When you are using mobile devices (设备), keep them at least 30 cm from your eyes. Try not to use your mobile phone in direct 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.

●Spend less time in front of screens. One to two hours a day is OK for your eyes.

After a long week, Sunday is the perfect day to sit down with families, relax and enjoy a special dinner: Sunday roast（周日大餐）    51    

British people have eaten Sunday roasts for centuries. In the old days, people had to go to church（教堂）on Sundays. After that, people would be hungry.     52    

So what is this tasty dish? Every Sunday dinner has roast meat, usually chicken or beef, roast potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding.     53    

What if you don’t have time to make the traditional dinner? Not to worry. In Britain, there are special restaurants, called carveries.     54     The name carvery comes from the act of cutting the meat into slices before putting them on a plate.

    55     Parents and children will sit down and tell each other about their week at work or school.

With many traditions fading（逐渐消失）, traditional Sunday dinners are as strong as ever. And I have a feeling that this traditional dinner will be on British tables.

When we think of friends, we usually think of those who have been in our life for a long time. In fact there is a    81     kind of friend — one that has not been with us for a long period of time, but fills our mind at some moment.

The first such friend I remember is the little girl with red curly hair. She was in the bed next to m    82     when I received an operation (手术) on my nose. She was about two years o    83    , more active and braver. She would jump out of bed whenever the nurse was gone. Her two little feet on the cold floor impressed me. Without her, I was a    84     and afraid.

Two years later, I was sent to a nursery school b    85     my parents were far busy. There, I met a foreign girl. We both were the oldest in that school; the others were babies who were not able to talk with us. Our friendship s    86     with competitions. Although(尽管) we couldn’t speak to each other in the same language, our communication was made by trying to beat(击败) each other — at drawing, at game, e    87     at eating. Our competitions, I think, gave me something I could control. And maybe I gave her the same. We got t    88     through a difficult time.

Such friends often support us when our life is off balance. A word, a smile, and   a similar scene can b    89     back memories(记忆) about them. Naturally, the warmth rises in our heart when we think of them. And silently, we t    90     them and wish them well.
