• 3．That day was Random Acts of Kindness Day.
     A random act of kindness is usually unexpected and unplanned.Maybe help someone carry groceries（杂货）.Maybe pay for a stranger's coffee.Or maybe send a helpful note to a friend.
     I remembered，at a shopping mall，I saw a man sitting on the ground with a sigh，said"Please help."
     I often give ＄20 to people like him，but now I decided to invest（投入） some time as well.I stopped and said，"Come on，brother.Pick up your things and let's get you some groceries."
     As we walked back into the mall，I learned that he had a place to live，but no money to buy food.
     Anyhow，he shared his story and I still wanted to help him.We started with some fruit and vegetables.He chose some tomatoes first，then got some carrots and onions.I asked him what else he wanted，he said meat.
     He told me he had two boys，a big pack of noodles went in the basket.He also asked if he could get some toothbrush，of course，fine.
     I was not sure exactly what had happened to this man，but his smile was genuine（真诚的）.He only took what he really needed.I know I won't do this all the time，as I can't afford to do so.But treating people with dignity（尊严），kindness and compassion is important.Helping others is a good way to help the world，even in just a small way.We often feel as thought here's nothing we can do to make the world better.But that's just not true.

• 4．Do your eyes jump a few times a second over a period of time？A jumping eye can happen to anybody at any time.There are several reasons for a jumping eye.Let's have a look at it!
     Tiredness
     Not getting enough sleep or working for too long without rest may cause our eyes to complain.Scientists aren't sure why，but they've found that getting more rest will make our eyes feel better.（1）

  
     Dry eyes
     More and more people work office jobs.（2）

  This unhealthy way of life can lead to dry eye syndrome（DES干眼症）.When our eyes are too dry，they can't help jumping to keep them wet.To stay away from DES，you can use eye drops if you use the computer for more than seven hours a day.（3）

  
     Stress（压力）
     This is the most important reason for a jumping eye.It does harm（伤害） to our eyes if it lasts for too long.（4）

  To solve the problem，we can see our friends or relax ourselves to reduce（减少） the stress that might lead to jumping eyes.
  
  根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。
  A.Remember not to stay up late.

      The survey found that 40% of the kids felt tired each day."This is very worrying."said Dr.Chris Idzikowski，a British expert."This means you don't get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad.
