Computers can injure(伤害) you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example, if you fall off a bike and break your arms, it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly.
You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.
Your eyes Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50 centimeters 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 on(反射) 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)
Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules:1) Rest your wrists on something.2) Keep your elbows(肘) at the same height as the keyboard. 3) Stop to exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.
Your back
Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should all be in front of your eyes. Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel(平行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time, get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms, legs and necks.
Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.

It was late at night after I finished my work. I was tired and I wanted to go straight home. On my way out of the door I noticed Linda standing outside the office. She doesn't have a car and usually she either catches a taxi home or hangs around work for an hour waiting for another staff member and friend of hers to finish.
I could offer to drive her home as she lives on my side of town. But last night I really did not want to. I wanted to drive straight home, alone. And neither did I want to talk with others. So I tried to avoid meeting her. I went straight to the parking lot without letting her see me so I needn't give her a lift. Suddenly, something inside me was stopping me from doing so. It made me look at her and put myself in her shoes. She had children waiting for her at home and she couldn't wait to see them after work. She could go home right now if I took her! And she needn't wait for an hour for her friend to pick her up. So I drove to her and asked if I could give her a lift. She accepted and I could see that her eyes were shining with joy.
When she got off, she thanked me over and over again.
If fact, in a way, the trip home helped us both. I helped her get home earlier than before, and she let me realize that I shouldn't be self- centered.
Now I am a changed woman. And slowly, every day, I am learning more and more to be a loving and helpful person. And I am thankful for the chances life brings me to be that person.
( )1. Why didn't the writer want to pick up Linda
A. Because Linda was poor.
B. Because the writer didn't like Linda.
C. Because the writer lived far from Linda.
D. Because the writer just wanted to go home alone.
( )2. The underline phrase“ put myself in her shoes” means in Chinese.
A.把我放在她的鞋子里 B.跟她换一下鞋子
C.换位思考 D.言不由衷
( )3. What can we know from the passage
A. Linda is a helpful and selfless person.
B. We should be kind, loving and helpful to others.
C. Linda wouldn't get home without the writer's help.
D. The writer taught Linda a good lesson about life.

Many young people can use the computer, but few of them know how to look after them. Remember the following when you use the computer.
Keep your computer in a cool, dry room. Too much or too little heat is bad for computers. Damp is also bad for them. Most computers work best at a temperature of 5-30 degrees centigrade.
Do not let people smoke cigarettes near your computer. Smoke of all kinds is very bad for many parts of a computer and can cause many problems.
Do not eat or drink when you are near your computer. Pieces of food and a little water in the keyboard can also cause many problems.
Make sure that the keyboard and the screen are the proper height for you. If they are not correct, you' ll get backache.
Make sure the screen is the correct distance from your eyes. If you wear glasses, make sure these glasses are correct for using with the computer. Some people use a different pair of glasses when they use a computer.
Keep your screen clean and do not have it too bright. A dirty screen can hurt your eyes. A very bright screen can also be bad for your eyes. If you can afford one, buy a computer screen. It will be better for you than using the screen of a TV set.

The class in America is almost the same as that in China. But something is different.
1. In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don't understand that question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to say it again. If you don't know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you don't know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
2. You mustn't be absent on a test day. If you' re seriously ill, let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make- up test, you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school.
3. Be on time! It is not polite to be late. If you come late, be sure to do it quietly. Take your books out of your bag after you enter the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the US, you needn't knock before you come into the classroom.
