23、How much time do you spend looking at your smartphone or computer every day? These electronic devices (电子设备) help us in many ways, but they may also cause health problems.
Too much screen time can cause your eyes to feel dry and sore and is not good for your eyesight. To help your eyes stay healthy, follow the “20-20-20” rule: After 20 minutes’ use of eyes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Your eyes aren’t the only parts of your body that could become worse from using electronic devices. People who write a lot of text messages can develop “texting thumb”, which will lead to the loss of grip strength (抓力).
Scientific research shows that smartphones can also hurt your mind. One of the biggest problems is that using smartphones can affect (影响) your sleep patterns. Doctors say the screen light stops you from feeling sleepy. So they advise people not to use smartphones for at least one hour before trying to sleep.
Another serious danger is Internet addiction (沉迷). Many people turn to the Internet to make light of feelings of stress, sadness, and loneliness. Over time, they might start to depend on the Internet and feel worried if they’re not online. To stop yourself from falling into this kind of trouble, control the time you spend on electronic devices.
To use your smartphone or computer safely, just make sure you follow the advice. Also, remember that there is more to life than looking at an electronic screen.
【1】The first “20” of the “20-20-20” rule in the passage means ________.
A.how long you use your eyes
B.how often you take a break
C.how far you look at things from you
D.how many things you need to do at the break
【2】According to the passage, we can know that ________.
A.too much screen time won’t cause eye problems
B.“texting thumbs” will make your eyes dry and sore
C.it’s hard for people to sleep because of the screen light
D.people will feel sad when they are connected to Internet

A.computer games or Internet
