What season is it in October? If you ask people from the UK, they will tell you it's "autumn". Why does this season have two names in English? According to Dictionary.com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was the first to describe this season. During this season, crops(庄稼)would become ripe(成熟)and farmers would have a big harvest(丰收).
Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word "harvest" became less useful. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it "the fall of the leaf', or "fall" for short.
It gradually replaced(替代)"fall" as the word for this season.
At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. They brought both the words "fall" and "autumn" with them.
A. English speakers needed a different name for the season. B. The season in October is autumn. C. But at the end of the 1600s, "autumn" from the French word, came to England. D. So in Old English, this season was simply called "harvest". E. That's why today's Americans have two names for one season. F. But if you go to the US, you will find that people use both "autumn" and "fall". G. Why is it called both "fall" and "autumn"? |

It is said that the eyes are "the windows of our soul". Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need taking good care of.
Be careful with your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.
A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes your eyes and gives them enough rest. Sleep not only helps repair the tired body. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.
You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink(眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs full of water and gives them a good wash.
We use our eyes in many wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can hurt your eyes. Don't read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes.
Too much reading, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.
Remember to always take care of God's most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.
