    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.

    When we watch movies about the future，we sometimes see robots. ⑴Some robots are very human-like. ⑵它们能像人一样走路和跳舞。Some scientists think that in the future they will make robots more like humans. However, some scientists think although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that ⑶robots will never be able to wake up and Know where they are. ⑷但是许多科学家不赞同怀特先生。They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. ⑸We never know what will happen in the future.

    We all have our own ways of sharing our life experiences with others.

    Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories.

    Spencer Johnson's story Who Moved My Cheese? shows changes exist in(存在于) our life. Life changes and so do we. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail.

    Just look at the cycle (循环) of        Trees bud (发芽)in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn, their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter arrives, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. Since we know there are cycles in nature, we can prepare for them. We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly.

    Since we accept the cycles of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life.

    We can prepare ourselves for changes by becoming more flexible(灵活的).We can regard the changes in our life as chances. As long as we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life.
