We cannot remember clearly since when we have started to take our mobiles to a dinner table.This happens a lot,especially when we eat out.Once a dish comes,instead of lifting our chopsticks,we take
out our mobiles and click(咔哒).Later,we post the photos onto microblog(微博) or WeChat(微信),“waiting to be liked”.Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal to see whether we get“liked”or not.We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound fimliliar(熟悉的)to you?Do you do that often? If not,how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?
A recent study shows what we are used to doing is not so good.Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less satisfying To test this,some researchers did an experiment.(Some people,before,were,take,asked,could,to,photos,enjoy food,they).It proved that the more photos they took,the less delicious the food seemed to them.So,why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?
Besides the scientific result,there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals.After posting the photos onto the Internet,one will involuntarily(不自觉地) check his mobile many times.“Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!”It seems like your mobile secretly calls your name all the time,even when you are with real people.
So,next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends,how ahout not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you.Trust me.It will be a wonderful time.

As more students begin to use computers for a long time,more of them are feeling eyestrain(视疲劳).Just a few hours in front of a computer screen can make a person's eyes feel tired and painful.A number of doctors have studied this growing problem and have found ways to deal with it.Following their advice will help keef computer users more comfortable.Here is some advice.
The light in a room shouldn't be brighter than the computer screen itself.In many classrooms,however,the lights are far brighter than they should be.Students can prevent some of this light by wearing baseball caps if they are allowed at school.
A special computer screen should be used to cut down on bright light because it is especially tiring to the eyes Another problem to avoid is the wrong kind of contrast(对比).It is best to have dark letters on a light hackground.This causes less eyestrain than light letters on a dark background.
Students should he seated so that they are looking down at the computer screen rather than straight a head,which is a far more tiring angle(角度).The top of the screen should be a little lower than the top of the head.
The length(长度) of time students spend in front of a computer screen leads greatly to eyestrain.Students should rest a while by looking away from the screen every fifteen to twenty minutes.During that time they should either close their eyes or look at something at a distance.Long-term computer use can dry out the eyes,so students shouht remember to blink(眨眼)often while in front of the screen.
