People blink their eyes tens of thousands of times every day, Scientists have long believed blinking can keep

the eyes wet. But a new study suggests it has a more important purpose.

An international team of scientists studied the blinking of human eyelids. The team reported it to researchers

from the University of California at Berkeley. The magazine Current Biology reported their findings.

The team said it found that blinking can make us focus on what we are seeing. It said that when we blink our

eyelids, the eyeballs roll back into the place where they are. However, the researchers found the eyes don’t always

return to the same position. They say this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles to adjust(

调整

) our eyesight.

Garret Mauls was the lead writer of the report. He serves as an assistant professor of psychology (

心理学

) at

Nan yang Technological University in Singapore. The researchers say that without such corrections we would not

be able to see the things around us clearly.

Researchers say they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while looking at a small dot on a piece of paper

they

used

special

cameras

to

follow

the

volunteer's

blinks

and

eye

movements.

After

each

blink,

the

dot

was

moved a little to the right. The volunteers did not notice this, but the brain did.

It

followed the movement and

directed the eye muscles to focus on the dot again. The dot was moved in this way 30 times before the volunteers'

eyes changed their focus to the place where they thought it would be.

A. How to make eyes wet,

B. Why do people blink their eyes?

C. Eyes are important for people.

Dear Maliah and Sasha,

I know that you've both had a lot of fun these two years, going to picnics, eating all kinds of junk food your

mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and

Mom, so now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world, become

successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your smiles that never

fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important any

more. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life

wouldn't be so important unless I knew that you had every chance for happiness. In the end, girls, that's why I ran

for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this country.

I want all our children to go to schools to know more about the world around them. I want them to have the

chance to go to college-even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and

give them chances to realize their dreams.

I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your

patience and humor as we prepare to start our new life together.

For children, the internet is a double-edged sword. In other words, being able to get online can be both good

and bad for kids.

On the good side, digital technology(

码

技

术

) can connected a child to information and to a larger

community. It can bring good chances for work. But on the bad side, it can also bring great harm and stress ---

especially for a child who does not know how to use the internet correctly.

A new report from the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, or UNICEF, explores both

the good and bad of the bad of the internet for young people.

Being online has many benefits. In fact, the internet can change a chil

d’s life, says Laurence Chand. He is the

Director of Data Research Policy for UNICEF.

The UNICEF reports that around one-

third of the world’s youth

--- most in developing countries --- are not

online. For example, in Africa, only 40 percent of children are online. In Europe, by contrast, 88 percent are.

If your child is online, the website Parenting. com gives the following safety advice.

Know the online sites your child uses. You should also know where they are online and with who.

Decide how much time your child spends online and how they use the internet
