As the novel coronavirus pneumonia(新型冠状病毒肺炎) makes students to stay at home, they have to learn online and smart phones(智能手机) make online learning become possible and easy. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?
According to a study, half of the British people own smart phones and they spend an average (平均) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness(近视) since smart phones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring at(盯着看) smart phones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink (自动眨眼) a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort(不适) in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smart phones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔) become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).
If you have to use your smart phone to learn online, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it. Take a rest every hour and try the following: look at something at least five metres away from you and then focus on(专注于) the tip( 尖端) of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

"Where’s Daddy going with the axe(斧头)?"said Joan to her mother.
"Out to the hoghouse(猪圈)," replied Mrs. Arable. "Some pigs were born last night."
"I don’t know why he needs an axe," continued Joan. She was only eight.
"Well," said her mother, "one of the pigs is very small, thin and weak, and it will never grow up. So your father has to do away with it."
"Do away with it?" cried Joan. "Just because it’s smaller than the others?"
"Don’t cry, Joan!" Mrs Arable said. "The pig would probably die anyway." Joan pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors.
"Please don’t do it!" she said with eyes full of tears(眼泪). "It’s not its mistake to be so weak." "Joan," Mr. Arable said gently, "you will have to learn to control yourself." "This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself." cried Joan. Tears ran down her face and she took hold of the axe and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand.
"Joan," said Mr. Arable, "I know more about raising pigs than you do. A thin and weak pig makes trouble."
"But it’s not right," cried Joan. "If I had been very weak at birth, would you have killed me?" Mr. Arable smiled. "Certainly not," he said, looking down at his daughter with love. "But this is different. A little girl is one thing; a little weak pig is another. "
"I see no difference," replied Joan, still holding on to the axe. "This is the most terrible thing I have ever heard of." A strange look came over Mr. Arable’s face. He seemed almost ready to cry himself.
