This Thursday, across the USA, kids are skipping school(缺课) and going to work with their parents. They'll be making copies, sending faxes(传真) and sweeping floors. This is because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the USA. This holiday shows kids what it means to be a grown-up in the working world.

I still remember when this day started, I was very happy. Not only did I have the chance to miss school, but I also got to sit in my dad's taxi all day long and we would go to a restaurant for lunch.

But after only 20 minutes of driving around the city, I was very bored. I couldn't read my book in the car as I would get carsick(晕车) and my dad didn't like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. People wouldn't get into his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger-me, so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. I actually started to miss school.

While the point of the day is to give kids a chance to experience real-life jobs and give them an idea of the possibilities (可能性) for their futures, I got something completely different from the day. I learned to appreciate (重视) school. Where else do you get to play with your friends, do science experiments, read great books and write stories all in one day?

Just as you'll have to learn to love your job later in life, learn to love school now. If you don't already, try spending the day at work with your dad.

Many of us don't pay much attention(关注)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(变老). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you 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, you’d better clean your eyes with cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion 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.
