I’m Victor. On my seventh birthday, my mom gave me a book about stars. That was the beginning of my lifetime hobby.
I always went outside with my mom on clean nights and looked at the sky. In different seasons. we saw different groups of stars. Sometimes we saw stars shooting brightly（明亮地）across the sky. How beautiful they were!
Studying the stars was great fun for me . When I learnt a little about them, Iwanted to find out more and more. Now it is my job. I host a TV show called The Sky at Night. I use what I know to tell people about the stars in a great way. I am happy because my TV show started over 50 years ago, now it’s still popular.
Now I am seventy-five years old. Actually, I think you can turn your hobby into your job too. Anybody can make their dreams come true. You just have to enjoy what you do!

Seeing is believing（相信），but if our eyes don’t work, how can we see to believe?
Today more and more kids wear glasses before going to middle school. Because they spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games without a rest. But we must do something to protect（保护）our eyes because they are important for us to see the world.
Love your eyes. Every day , when we open our eyes, we can see the lovely friends and parents, beautiful flowers and green trees. Without them, there is only darkness. It is like a house without any light. How important our eyes are!
Remember to rest your eyes. When you use the computer for an hour or two, it is time to stop to have a 30-minute rest. At school, you need to do eye exercises. Closing your eyes for resting is helpful, as well as looking at green trees or grass. In these ways, your eyes will feel relaxed.
Have good habits. When writing homework and reading, it is important to keep a distance of 30 cm between your eyes and books. We should never rub（摩擦）our eyes with dirty fingers. Before and after swimming, use eye drops. Eat something healthy for eyes, such as carrots, fish and eggs.
