Nowadays, many children spend hours a day looking at computer screens or other digital products. Some eye doctors say all the screen time has caused more children to have what they call computer vision syndrome (视力综合症).

Nathan Warford is an optometrist (配镜师) in the US. He says he has seen more children having eye problems.

―More children come into my office because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red eyes, or because their degree of short-sightedness appears to be increasing very fast and they’re worried,‖ he said.

A person who uses a computer or a digital product blinks about one third as much as we normally do in everyday life. If eyes can’t stay wet or are too tired, they will not be protected like normal.

32. Some children don’t tell their parents when their eyes start to feel uncomfortable because . A. they think it is not serious

B. they want to go to hospital themselves C. they don’t want their parents to worry

D. they want to continue playing computer games

33. People blink as they normally do when they use computers. A. one third as much B. two thirds as much C. half as much D. one fourth as much
