　　Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other digital devices. Some eye doctors say this leads to an increase in “computer vision syndrome(電腦視力綜合癥).”

　　Nathan Bonilla-Warford is an optometrist(驗光師)in Tampa, Florida. He has seen an increase in problems in children. “A lot more children come into the office either because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red or watery eyes or discomfort, or because their nearsightedness appears to be increasing and they’re worried,” he says.

　　Dr. Bonilla-Warford says part of the problem is that children may be more likely to pay no attention to early warning signs than adults. “Even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, they’re less likely to tell their parents, because they don’t want to have the game or the computer or whatever taken away,” he explains.

　　He says another part of the problem is that people blink(眨眼)less often when they use digital devices. He says, “A person who uses an electronic device blinks about one third as much as we normally do in everyday life. And so that can result in the front part of the eye drying and not staying protected like normal.”

　　Eye doctors offer suggestions like following which is known as the 20/20/20 rule. That means every twenty minutes look away twenty feet or more for at least twenty seconds from whatever device you’re using.

　　Other suggestions include putting more distance between you and the device and using good lighting. Of course, another way is to spend less time looking at screens. Many experts say children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices—with no screen time for children under two.

　　But not all eye doctors have noticed an increase in problems in children. Dr. David Hunter, from Children’s Hospital Boston, has not seen an increase in his practice. “While it is possible to develop fatigue looking at screens for a long period of time, there’s certainly no proof that it actually causes any damage to the eyes.”he says.

　　32.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A.Dr. Bonilla-Warford thinks using computers causes nearsightedness. B.People keep their eyes protected against drying by blinking normally. C.Children under two can watch TV for less than two hours a day.

　　D.Dr. David Hunter says headache causes an increase in eye problems.

　　33.The syndrome in children is more likely serious than in adults because .

　　A.adults are cleverer than children

　　B.adults ignore taking care of children

　　C.children always overlook early warning signs

　　D.children always forget their parents’ words

　　34.What does the underlined word “fatigue” mean?

　　A.Interest B.Ability C.Tiredness. D.Difficulty.

　　35.What can be the best title for the passage?

　　A.Looking at Screen: Two Hours or More

　　B.How Can Children Use Their Eyes Properly

　　C.Using Digital Devices: Advantages and Disadvantages

　　D.How Much Screen Time Is Proper for Children

　　How can I get self-motivation?

　　When you are feeling less than motivated, it can be easy to fall behind on your work, personal life and aspirations. When this mood strikes, it is important to dig deep down and find a way to pull yourself through it to become the self-motivated person that you long to be.

　　36 For example, if your final goal is to do a 5k run, make running a half a mile without stopping your first level of achievement. It doesn’t have to be achieved all at once, but little by little. When you feel that you have fully reached your first level, move onto the next. Having an final goal, and setting steps to get there, can help you have mini achievements. 37

　　When you want to reach a certain goal, it often helps to imagine already achieving it. You may be able to be more self-motivated if you keep track of your progress. 38 Put one picture on the top of each page, and underneath, write what you did to reach that goal. If there are too little words on the page, it may be time to step up your efforts.

　　Special quotations can be a good way to inspire self-motivation. Find a quote that moves you and inspires you in a way that no other set of words has before. 39 Look at it on a daily basis, and use it as a way to inspire you to be more self-motivated.

　　40 Even on days when your motivation is lacking, there are ways that you can do what you need to do. If you want to be more self-motivated, it takes a lot of sweat and drive, but it can eventually produce the results that you are longing for.

　　A.This practice can increase your drive to keep on going.

　　B.It is you that have to motivate yourself to achieve your goal.

　　C.Consider setting different levels of achievement for yourself.

　　D.If possible, turn those words into an art print and hang it in your home.

　　E.Consider creating a journal with pictures of what you want to accomplish.

　　F.An important way to be self-motivated is to push forward to get what you want.

　　G.Being self-motivated can be difficult at times, but the effort usually reaps rewards.
