Nowadays, we are having a much busier life, and we are using our eyes more than ever before. So we often have tired eyes after a day’s work or study. Here are some good methods of protecting eyes against tiredness to keep them healthy.
POSTURE（坐姿）
Get into the habit of paying attention to the way you sit. Try to stick to the proper posture that doctors suggest.
HELPFUL PICTURES
There are some special pictures online that can help relax your eyes. You may download such pictures to your computer or smart phone. When there is nothing far away you can look at to relax your eyes, you can use one of these pictures. A picture with something like a tunnel（隧道）in it is quite popular. Try to look as far into the tunnel as you can for 30 seconds（秒）. Do you feel better?
BREAKS
The 20-20-20 rule: take a break from the screen every 20 minutes for 20 seconds and look at something 20 feet（about 6 meters）away.
EYE EXERCISES
Step 1. Sitting comfortably, imagine there is a clock in front of you and turn your eyes up to 12 o’clock. Pause（停顿）for a second, and then lower your eyes to 6 o’clock. Pause again, and then repeat this step 10 times. Complete the exercise by cupping your hands over your eyes for a few seconds, letting them rest in the darkness.
Step 2. Look at something on the right. Keep your eyes on it and slowly turn your head to the left as far as possible. Then do the same thing on the left. Repeat the exercise a couple of times.
Step 3. Hold your finger in front of your nose and keep looking at it. Slowly move the finger towards yourself as close as you can without losing focus（焦点）. Then look outside the window as far as possible. Repeat this several times.
SPORTS
Table tennis is about a small ball traveling at high speed—the best sport to train your eyes and relax the muscles（肌肉）in and around the eyes. Other sports like tennis, badminton and kite flying are also great for relaxing tired eyes.

It was sunny on Oct 30 last year. Zhang Siwen, 13, saw some special fruit at school. She picked one, but not for fun. She took notes (笔记) on the fruit. She carefully drew different parts of the fruit and wrote down some information. Several months later, her nature-related (与自然相关的) notes won second prize at a science competition.
Many students in Shanghai bring fruit, flowers and other plants (植物) together and write down notes with pictures and information. They learn more about nature by writing these notes. The information, such as when and where they got the plants, what the weather was like and how they felt at the time, is all in their notes.
For many students, taking these nature notes is a way to find out something new. Zhang is one of them. When she wrote new fruit notes, she first drew a picture of the fruit and learned about its length (长度) with a ruler. Then, she broke the fruit open. She touched, got the juice and smelled it to learn more. “If you open and squeeze (挤压) some fruits, you’ll find they are juicy,” she said.
Writing notes on nature can also make students become more creative. “When writing these notes, you can describe everything in your own way,” said Zhang Siwen.
