My dad was the rock of my life. As I was growing up I always knew he was there. He was the type to wait for someone to start a conversation; then he would join in and listen carefully.
I remember and miss those conversations so much. He was always trying to protect my whole family; sometimes I think we mistook him.
My dad began to work in a bank at the age of 23. When he was in his later fifties, he took early retirement. I never thought he would even think of doing that, but he said he wanted a change to start a new company of his own. I understood that. My dad was always working. He hardly ever rested or took a break. He moved to Atlanta from New York where he planned to start a new company. Eight months later I visited my dad for the first time in his new home; he had changed his address, and my wife and I found him in his new home. We found a small house that looked more like a shack(窝棚) on the beach. This was Dad's new house? At the door was a man whose face lit up when he saw us. It was dad... DAD? It couldn't be!

Computers can injure you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries slowly.
You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.
Your Eyes
Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.
When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on(反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.
Your Hands and Wrists(手腕)
Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules: 1) Rest your wrists on something. 2) Keep your elbows at the same height as the keyboard. 3) Stop something and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.
Your Back
Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should all be in front of your eyes. Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel(平行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and necks.

Charles Chaplin was born in London on April 16, 1889. His parents were music hall actors. The Chaplin family were very poor, and life was difficult in London. Charlie, as he was called, used to do his mother's job in the theatre when she was ill.
When he was only 17 years old, Chaplin got his first real job as an actor. What he did was to do silly things to make people laugh in the theatre. Seven years later he went to the USA.
