19．"Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him，and let him know that you trust him．"These words are from the black American educator，Booker Washington．He was saying that，"If you want people to grow up，you have to stop treating them like children．"
In America，families are close but children are encouraged to be independent，to make their own decisions，even at a very early age．It's not unusual for a child of seven to be given an allowance（津贴）every week．The child is encouraged to save some of the money but he or she can spend it on whatever they choose，for example，buying clothes，school supplies or CDs．Some teenagers even have their own credit cards!That's a big responsibility since even adults are tempted to overspend when they have credit cards．
From an early age，American children are asked for their opinions and they are included in family decision making．At the dinner table，teenagers will be listened to on any topic，from politics to buying a new family car or where the family will go on vacation．In this way，teenagers are getting practice in becoming individuals：they are learning how to stand on their own two feet．
Many Chinese young people are becoming almost as interested as American teens in searching for independence．They want to express those qualities that make them unique human beings．You can see this in the way they dress，the music they listen to and the friends they choose．"Super Girl"
Li Yuchun caught the imagination of Chinese teenagers on the"Super Girl"television contest．She was not the traditional"nice，young Chinese girl"．With her short，spiky hair and boy-like clothes，she was telling everyone that she was different．She had the courage to be her own person and to stand on her own two feet…and she won!
There is an old saying，"Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him and then choose that way with all his strength．"If you do this，step by step，over a period of time，you may find that you have become the person you always wanted to be．

18．A Bite of China，featuring delicious Chinese food，has attracted countless viewers，and moved many to tears．
A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the view of food．The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother，and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious work．Some people see patriotism（爱国精神） in the documentary，and some consider it a great cultural export．
How did this documentary achieve a great influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time？
"It is not empty propaganda（宣传） about China's splendid food culture．Instead，it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people，thus striking a chord（共鸣） with the audience，"an Internet user said．The success of the documentary should be owed to sincerity and reality．Nowadays，many works of art that have high investment，high technology，and magnificent scenes lack nothing but sincerity and reality．
A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details，that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing（宣传） China overseas，and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success．
"We made this documentary with our respect and love for food，"said director Chen Xiaoqing．Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved，and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced．Sincerity is the"secret"for making this documentary so popular，and every cultural creator should learn from its success．

13．For better eyesight，doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time．
However，another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia （近视）．An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia．
The research team found that the prevalence （流行） of myopia among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore，even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens．The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore．
Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects，which prevents the eyes from changing shape．But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities．
Jane Gwiazda，who does research in sight problems，says："Natural light is good for eye growth．And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth．"
Many doctors suggest that every child gets its first eye test done when he/she is about two and half years old，and even if his/her sight seems perfect．
It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches，trouble reading or injuries．It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students'eyes．
If that is not possible，school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses．And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children，but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors．

A．To find the ways to treat myopia．
B．To find the reasons for myopia．

D．To prove the prevalence of myopia．
