The other day I was getting into my car when I saw the old man walking up the hill. He looked tiring and, as it was quite a rural area, I waited to check that he was OK. He was fine, so I asked her where he had been. He said he'd been taken a train and a bus ride just get out. He liked getting out once a day. He clear wanted to talk and we spent the next thirty minutes talk about his life. It cost me nothing other than thirty minute of my time. I learnt so much and he enjoy the encounter and left smiling.

Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:
Schedule yearly exams.1.Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eye- glasses.
Protect against UV rays. Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses.2.
Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products.3.Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
4.As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk.5.Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.
A.Eat your greens.
B.Eye care should begin early in life.
C.They can properly protect your eyes.
D.Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.
E.Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight.
F.Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear.
G.This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.
If feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation,it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly,my mother will push the conversation into World War?She'll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment,I don't want to do any job related to science,either.In fact,when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English and communications,she nearly had a heart attack.
"Why can't you be like my coworker's son?"she bemoans all the time.Her coworker's son received a four year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr Perfect as I've called the unnamed coworker's son.I can't be like him.I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community,write until the sun goes down,and most of all,wants to achieve a career because I love it,not because of fame (名声) or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm.However,I want her to know that by becoming a doctor,it doesn't mean I'll be successful.I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
