Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes（基因）and aging（老化）. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while.

Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water.

Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight too. If a person exercises regularly（定期地）and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

Zhang Dingyu, the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, leads over 600 doctors and nurses fighting against COVID-19（新型冠状病毒肺炎）, which has caused more than 50 hundred deaths in China.

As Zhang fought against the disease, his strange way of walking shocked his colleagues（同事）.He finally admitted that he had fallen ill with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis （ALS 肌萎缩侧索硬化）since October 2018. He kept this secret for nearly two years until the day he couldn’t walk anymore while on the front lines fighting COVID-19 in Wuhan.

While working with handicapped（瘸的）legs, Zhang received a bad news that brought him to his knees. His wife was confirmed to get infected with COVID-19 after working in another hospital. Zhang could only find time to visit his wife until three days after she got admitted to the hospital. Fortunately, the good news came that his wife had recovered ten days after treatment.

Though it’s a struggle to move quickly, Zhang continues working tirelessly. He said, “I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease.”

Zhang has offered medical services along with Chinese medical teams to Algeria and Pakistan.

Three days after the earthquake hit Sichuan Province in 2008, Zhang entered the city with his medical team members to offer help.

Zhang’s story and the determination to fight against the deadly disease have moved many Chinese.

【推荐1】Nature is our home, so we should not pollute it and hurt the wild animals. If you don’t cherish or protect it, we’ll have to pay for our indifference (冷漠). We have polluted the environment badly, such as the air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, waste pollution.

What’s more, we kill many wild animals. So the number of them becomes fewer and fewer. For example, in 2010, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)brought bad news that the world’s tiger population had hit an all-time low (最低纪录). There were just 3,200 tigers left in the wild, about half as many as there had been ten years before.

Now there’s good news: Tigers could be making a comeback. There were about 4,000 tigers in the world in 2019. In July, India, which has 70% of the world’s tigers, said that its tiger population had reached nearly 3,000. That’s a 30% rise in just four years.

India’s success was years in the making. In 2006, habitat (栖息地)loss made the number of India’s tigers reduce to only 1,411. So the Indian government decided to take a stronger plan of protection. Since its Wildlife Protection Act became law, India has given tigers a high level of protection. With the help of the protection, India created 50 reserves (保护区), where tigers can spread out and hunt (捕猎).

But challenges remain for tigers all over Asia. They are hunted for their skin, and their teeth are sold as medicine. They’re still in danger. So we should try our best to stop the animals dying out.
