Do you like watching TV or playing computer games? How long do you use your phone a day? We call the time we spend on TV, computers and mobile phones" screen time".
In a study(研究) in Australia, scientists (科学家) ask 577,000 children how much time they spend on screens, schoolwork and sports every day. They find about 68% of them spend more than(超过) two hours on screens.
Two hours of screen time a day is bad for children's health. The study shows harm starts after 75 minutes of screen time for girls and 105 minutes for boys. Why is that? That's because the study shows that boys take more exercise than girls." In our study, 24% of boys spend an hour a day getting exercise, but only 14% of girls do that," Dr Khan said.
So it is important for children to balance(平衡) their time. Tom Hindhaugh has a" three- time" system for his son Patrick. That is a" go time" for schoolwork,a" slow time" to play computer games or talk with friends on the Internet, and a" green time" for getting exercise." We need to get children to do more exercise. They can walk, ride a bike or play football," he said." Anyway, Patrick is very happy and healthy."

Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. O'er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town's heavy with blooms. —Translated by Xu Yuanchong Du Fu |
When Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu (712-770) wrote this poem, he was living in Chengdu. Sometimes he went to farm in the field. The poem shows his care for farmers.
The very first word, "good", shows the poet's joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good indeed, as it "knows" the right time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain were smart enough to know that it should come in time for the farmer's busy plowing (农耕) season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night. Unlike the thunder (雷) and lightning of summer storms, the quiet spring rain makes its contributions (贡献) without being known.
In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy, showing that there will be enough rain during the night. Then the poet imagines: tomorrow morning, all of the flowers in the city will bloom (盛开) after the rain.
