Mr. Smith lived by the sea. He had a habit of walking on the beach in his spare time.

One day, 1. he saw someone moving like a dancer in the distance. He smiled and began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man. 2. He was picking something up from the sand and very gently throwing it into the sea.

Mr. Smith called out, “ Good morning! 3. ”

The young man stopped, looked up and said, “ Throwing starfish(海星) into the sea.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“The sun is up, and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them into the water, __4.____”.“ But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it? You can’t make a difference.!”

The young man listened politely, then he picked up another starfish, threw it into the sea and said: “ I made a difference for that one. “

Each one of us can make a difference in this world. 5. Don’t give up on a task because it seems big – every small thing you can do will help.

Do you often use computers? Do you know they can be bad for some parts of your body? Computer injuries(傷害)do not happen suddenly, but slowly. Now let's learn to use a com­puter safely.

Your eyes

Your eyes should be at least 50 cm from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.

When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect(反射)on the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.

Your hands and wrists(手腕)

If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules: Rest your wrists on some thing; Keep your elbows at the same height as the keyboard and stop sometimes to exercise your hands and wrists in a different way.

Your back

If you sit for many hours in front of a computer in the wrong way，you can injure your back or neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and neck.

Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.
