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. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion（时尚）but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.

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.

3 . Red and yellow can facilitate(促进) learning

Students usually prefer to study in environments with light colors. They say the light colors make them feel more relaxed, but researchers have found the opposite works better.

According to a study from Curtin University in Australia, the students’ concentration(专注) levels are higher when they are in environments with bright colors. In the study, the students were asked to read a passage and answer questions in rooms with different colors. They were light and bright blue, red and yellow. The students’ reading comprehension(阅读理解) scores were higher in the bright red and yellow rooms.

Aseel Al-Ayash, one of the researchers in the study, said, “Bright colors can support students’ learning performance by positively(积极地) affecting physical and mental states. If the reading tasks are difficult, the bright colour conditions may increase excitement to the best levels.” Several past studies have shown that the colors red and yellow are more stimulating(有刺激作用的) than blue and green.

However, two-thirds of the students in the study believed that bright red wasn’t a suitable colour for a study room. They connected the colour with depression(沮丧), discomfort, anger, danger and things like that. But they could improve their learning results by using the colour—so perhaps a bit of discomfort is what they need.

Maybe in the future, red and yellow will be the popular colors of study areas because of the study.

Hospitals are doing experiments with tele-medicine. Tele-medicine is a technology. With the help of high-speed communication networks (网络), doctors can “see” patients (病人) without them being in the same place.

Tele-medicine is already in wide use in some places such as the USA and Germany. At both ends of the line, the way of video-meeting lets them see and talk to each other. Blood pressure (血压) and body temperature are directly (直接地) shown on computers. Among other uses, village doctors hold “consultations (会诊)” with far-away experts (专家). The experts can also help them during operations.

Tele-medicine has been slow to reach Asia because of high costs, and other reasons. When things improve, this technology will develop very fast. Chinese University of Hong Kong’s medical school has joined a big hospital in Beijing, and Thailand (泰国) is building a tele-medicine station connecting 20 areas.

Tele-medicine will do good to patients because doctors from different places can see them and give their medical advice. The help is very important if the disease is an unusual one. It also helps to spread medical knowledge among experts.

October 31st is Halloween. Where does Halloween come from? The Celts (居尔特人) think October 31st is the last day of their year and they think ghosts (鬼魂) come back to Earth on this day. So people treat the ghosts and then lead them away by wearing strange costurnes. Today a lot of people around the world celebrate this old festival. They usually dress up, have parties and tell stories about ghosts. Children play games at Halloween parties.

The following games are for children:

1. Ask your friends to bring a pumpkin lantern to the party. Give a present to the best one.

2. Hide some small pumpkins in the garden and play “find the pumpkin”.

3. Get apples out. Put lots of apples in the water and then try to get them out!   Remember: Don’t use your hands.

4. Tell ghost stories. Sit around on the floor and share exciting ghost stories with your friends.

10 . William Black described the eyes as “the windows of the soul”. Our eyes are the windows through which we see the world around us. Either way, there’s no question that we place great value(珍视) 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, we’d 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 our plate. Remember when you were a kid and your mum told you that carrots would improve your eyesight. Well, she might be right. Proper food will keep your eyes strong and healthy.

Give up your daily habits that could seriously injure your eyes. Always wear sunglasses in a sunny day to protect your eyes from Ultraviolet ray(紫外线). Rest your eyes 20 minutes from computer screen by looking 20 feet away for seconds. 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. You should try to prevent(预防) injuries whether you’re playing sports or doing housework. You should also know when to wear sun glasses and what kinds will work best for you.

Last but not least, get your eyes examined regularly. Eye exams can help find some eye diseases(疾病). It’s important to find these diseases early on, when they’re easier to treat(治疗).
