I am so excited. Also a little nervous! I am off on a journey on my own. Yes! Alone! I am feeling so brave and can' t wait to start. I am going to Europe to see some cities I really want to visit. It is great because I can choose what I want to do in each city. I am going to travel by train in Europe.

Now I am in Salzburg, Austria. The quiet hills of Austria are a great place to relax. The movie The Sound of Music was filmed around this area. I can enjoy the view of the mountains and the river from my hotel window. Mozart, the famous musician, was from here. There are many classical concerts here.

The train ride to Amsterdam was a long one. It gave me time to write some postcards to send back home. Amsterdam is a fun city, full of friendly locals and tourists. I spent the whole day visiting the art museums here. The museums are historic and filled with beautiful art.I also took a boat ride along the river.

Are you short-sighted? If you are, your parents might have tried to do something to fix it, such as having you get an eye massage(按摩), take medicine or even get surgery(手术). People who offer these services or products often say that they can reduce or even cure short sight.

However, you will no longer see advertisements like this before long. The government has issued a notice to ban(禁止) businesses from using words like “recovery" or "short sight cure" in their advertisements.

The notice says that short sight cannot be completely cured with current medical technology. Therefore, these advertisements could mislead children and their parents.

Young people can prevent and control short sight by spending more time outside and less time in front of books or computers. People who have sight problems should first go to a hospital and let a doctor decide what to do.

More than 450 million Chinese have suffered from short sight since June 2018. Short sight rates are around 30 percent for primary school students, 60 percent for junior high school students and 80 percent for senior high school students. This is likely because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic devices.

To reduce short sight among young people, the government made a new plan last August. The plan is designed to limit the amount of time children spend playing video games, as well as limit the production of new video games.

1.Some people say that they can cure short sight to _________.

A. show off their high-leveled skills B. sell more products and services
