Eyes not only let you see shapes and millions of colors, but also help manage the light signals that keep your body’s internal clock running properly. Your eyes are among your most important organs, but you shouldn’t take your eyes for granted.
Protect against eye strain. Sometimes you pose the greatest danger to your eyes.
Wear sunglasses with UV (紫外线) Protection. The right pair of shades will help protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays. Too much UV exposure boosts your chances of cataracts and macular degeneration. Choose a pair of sunglasses that blocks 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Wraparound lenses help protect your eyes from the side. And Polarized lenses reduce glare while you drive. If you wear contact lenses (隐形眼镜), some offer UV protection.
Use safety eyewear. If you use dangerous materials that can be transported by air on the job or at home, wear safety glasses or protective goggles (护目镜).

Advice for Graduates
Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. The next part of my speech consists of some advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said,
First, every time you celebrate an achievement,
Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit.
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don’t have a passion,don’t be satisfied until you find one.
Here is my final advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won’t be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received.
A.It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made. |
B.In all negotiations, don’t bargain for the last, little advantage. |
C.“I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments.” |
D.“The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.” |
E.Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. |
F.be thankful to those who made it possible. |
G.Change your manners when you are dealing with others. |
To understand meditation(冥想)through an experiment, you can take two pictures with a camera. Hold your camera still and take the first picture. Now, shake your camera and take the second picture. The difference in clarity(清晰度)between the two pictures is the difference in clarity of a life with and without meditation.
Meditation means different things to different people. There are many methods to reach the state of meditation. Our intention in this Life School Message is not to compare different practices. What we'd like to do is to give you a glimpse into what benefits can arise as a result of meditation.
One of the most important functions for human survival is the ability to adapt and adjust to our surroundings. The brain and body are dealing with an unbelievable amount of stimuli(刺激) in every single moment of life. Focusing on all of them at once would be impossible. So, the mind tends to shift as many stimuli as possible to the subconscious back burner.
For example, you probably aren't paying attention to the feel of your shirt on your body until you read this sentence. Now that I've mentioned it, I've brought it back into your conscious thoughts, and you do notice it. Somewhere in the next few paragraphs, your mind will place it on the back burner again to be able to focus on understanding this article. Fascinating, isn't it? Our minds do this constantly.
Meditation helps you to increase your awareness and helps you to stay focused on the right things of life. It ensures you do not get distracted and helps you do stay alert. It helps you to understand the past, live the present and create the future.
For the people who have no knowledge or experience of this particular subject, let me share a basic yet one of the most powerful methods that can lead you to meditation.
