Many people have to use a computer for hours every day. To prevent* possible health problems, this guide offers some advice by asking and answering questions.
Q1: I know it would cause pains to the eyes if the viewing distance is too short. What is the recommended viewing distance?
A: The viewing distance between the user’s eyes and the screen should be around 35 to 60 cm.
Q2: I have to use a notebook computer all the time. I have developed some pains in my fingers and hands. What can I do?
A: The small size of the keyboard is likely to cause pains in fingers and hands. It is recommended that a larger keyboard can help reduce the pains if a notebook has to be used for long hours.
Q3: I have burning eyes after working on the computer for a few hours. What should I do?
A: To make your eyes more comfortable, a short break (5-15 minutes) taken after 1-2 hours computer work is recommended. During the break, the computer user may get up and go to see faraway objects.
Q4: I often develop pains in my neck after using a computer for a long time. Would you recommend some simple physical exercises?
A: You may repeat the following exercises several times during a break.
(1) Turn your head slowly forward.
(2) Hold for 5 seconds.
(3) Turn the head to one side and hold for 5 seconds.

【推荐1】During COVID-19, we have prepared a back-to-school guide for parents to check. Join us to prepare for your kid’s back-to-school life together!
The COVID-19 is still spreading. If your kids go to school alone and do not go home in time after school, that’s probably because they play games or hang out with friends after school. Parents will certainly worry that their kids might be going to a dangerous place. So parents should ask their kids to get home at a regular time and never go to dangerous places. | |
The digital world is so interesting that kids can easily be attracted by games, videos, e-books, social interactions(互动) and so on. Once it is out of control, the kids will easily lose themselves in it. Kids aged 8—18 spend a lot of time on screen nowadays, and this is one of the reasons why they’re short-sighted, sleepy and fat. So parents should limit(限制) the screen time available to kids. | |
If your kid is often in a bad mood(情绪), stays in the room most of the time and has no interest in social activities, you must pay more attention to him or her. If these signs have appeared, they are likely to be lonely at school or come across sad things such as bullying(欺凌). They need the care then. So parents should keep an eye on their kid’s behavior, and give love and care in time. |

【推荐3】Your comfort zone is a place, an activity or a situation in which you feel free from worry and things are within your ability or control.
Here are some ways to break out of your comfort zone without going too far.
•Do everyday things differently.
•
•Trust yourself and make snap decisions. Perhaps you are more comfortable weighing all of the possible choices several times, but sometimes making a snap call is just in order to get things moving.
However, you can’t live outside of your comfort zone all the time. You need to come back from time to time to review your experiences. In this way, you can put what you’ve got into your day-to-day activities.
