There are several reasons for a jumping eye. Lets have a look at it!TirednessNot getting enough sleep or working for too long without rest may cause our eye to complain. Scientists arent sure why, but theyve found that getting more rest will make our eyes feel better. Remember not to stay up late.Dry eyesMore and more people work office jobs that require a lot of sitting and staring at a computer screen. This unhealthy way of life can lead to dry eye syndrome (DES干眼症). When our eyes are too dry, they cant help jumping to keep them wet. To stay away from DES, use eye drops if you use the computer for more than seven hours a day and make sure to look away from the screen once every 20 minutes.Stress(压力)This is the number-one reason for a jumping eye. It does harm to our eyes if it lasts for too long. When we re under a lot of stress, the body gives out stress hormones (荷尔蒙) which leads to a “fight or flight” response. To solve the problem, we can see our friends or relax ourselves in order to reduce the stress that might lead tojumping eyes.6 .

Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance can lead.When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdons high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quiteridiculous”.In spite of his teachers criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.“My own belief is that we will, in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work，”Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996，the first cloned mammal in the world.In 2006，Gurdons work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a persons skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patients heart after a heart attack.“Luck favors the prepared mind，”Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things dont work, but when they do, you have to seize the chance. ”根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。10 .
