     Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you "What is the most important
in your life?" Maybe you will say "Computers and the Internet".
     The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are
getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said,
"People can't live without computers today. "
     The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than
computers. But now it can be found almost ever)'where. We can use it to read books, write letters, do
shopping, play computer games and make friends.
      Many students like the Internet very much. They often surf the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don't know their real
names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making the "unreal friends" that they can't put their
hearts into study. Many of them can't catch up with others on many subjects because of that.

Almost all doctors agree that we can improve and maintain good eyesight by eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. It is especially important for us to eat vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes. Besides, we need to protect our eyes when we spend a long time in bright sunlight. The best way to do. this is by wearing sunglasses that have 100% UV (紫外线) protection. What's more, it is necessary to protect our eyes when we work with dangerous chemicals (化学物质). For this reason we should always wear goggles in chemistry labs at work or at school. Finally, we should not spend too much time in front of the computer or television screen. That is why doctors advise if we have to use a computer for a long time, we should take a short break every fifteen or thirty minutes.
Maintaining good eyesight is important. If we do these few simple things we can protect our eyes and reduce the chances of losing our eyes. As the popular English expression goes, “It's all fun and game, until someone loses an eye.” When people say this, they mean that losing an eye is a very terrible thing.
