Watching videos on the subway and playing games on a bus… Tablet(平板) computers make it easier to have fun wherever you go. But that's not all. They could even influence students in the future.
Recently, a school in Hangzhou created a new program, which offered students free tablet computers to use. It aimed to see how new technology could make a difference in education. Each student got a new tablet computer. Their special systems (系统) allow teachers to send out homework to students. Then students can do homework or tests on them. They will collect their answers. The best part about them is that they can correct students' answers according to the right answers given by teachers. And they can give students scores for a single test or show how students' scores change over several tests! This can help teachers plan their teaching jobs at any time.
However, most parents are worried that the use of tablet computers may cause bad eyesight. But some believe it is a good trend. They are sure their kids can make good use of them.

Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that hard working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job holders. Career(职业) women are healthier than housewives.
Why is work good for health It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness (孤独). Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work to build bridges between dreams and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss(丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It affects men's spirit and it will cause more illnesses.
Besides, work gives one a sense of hope and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status(地位)in society. When a writer finishes his writing, a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students improve, they are very happy.
From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.
