·Protect against UV rays(紫外线)．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．17
·Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．18 Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away．
· 19 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day．Vitamins(维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
·Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses(隐形眼镜)．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk． 20 otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition．

17．戴太阳镜预防紫外线，它们可以适当地保护你的眼睛。本句是对上文的总结概括。

We all know that Apple iPad is designed mainly for business people．But besides business people there are many other people who are interested in getting one．Students are very interested in the latest technology．So you cannot keep Apple iPad away from students．The question is: Should they buy an Apple iPad
Apple iPad has many features that would work for students, which means that students do not have to carry books for reference．They can use e-books because Apple iPad has a big screen that makes reading a pleasure．You can even write on iPad．So it works as an all-in-one tool that is so light that it can be put in any backpack．The battery life of Apple iPad is around 10 hours, which is clearly a good point for students．The touch screen is big and iPad does not create any noise while it is working．In a word, Apple iPad does have some features that would do good to students．
However, students might have to slow down their work because Apple iPad struggles when it comes to doing many tasks at the same time．lt would create a problem if the student has to take down notes quickly while the iPad does not allow him/her to work well．Another thing that students might not be happy with is that there is no key-board．Though iPad has an on-screen keyboard, it might not be as useful as a real keyboard．Apple iPad has no USB port(端口)or SD card slot(插卡槽) ,which means students will not be able to share information quickly among themselves．
Therefore, I don't think it's necessary for students to buy an iPad．It may not work as well as they expect．They can buy a netbook for their study．It would work better for them．
13．What is the author mainly talking about
A．Who should buy an Apple iPad．
B．What an Apple iPad can do for students．
C．Whether Apple iPad can attract students．
D．Whether students should buy an Apple iPad．
14．According to the author, Apple iPad is mainly designed for____．
