Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?According to a study, half of the British people own smartphones and they spend an average ( 平均 ) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the U.K who suffer from short-sightedness （近视） since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.Staring （盯）at smartphones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink （自动眨眼） a certain number of times. However, when you look at the things closer to your face, the blink slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphone in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils （瞳孔） become larger, too much light goes into your eyes. This can be bad for your eyes and causes a disease called glaucoma （青光眼）.Maybe it is possible for you to stop using your smartphone, but there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes.* Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it.*Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least 5 meters away from you and then focus on your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。36 .

This house was called Crosslands. I lived there when I was a child. I had some very happy times at Crosslands. It seemed so big to me as a child. It had a big beautiful living room with a piano in it and a large hall. There was a mysterious drawing room which we only used on Sundays or on special occasions.I used to be amazed by this room because it had the best furniture in it, but it was covered up with sheets(床单). It was as if all the furniture was wearing clothes and it seemed ridiculous to me that we couldnt enjoy this lovely furniture all week long.The kitchen had lovely red floor, which was always polished, and one big heater to heat the whole room so it was always warm. There was also kind of clotheshorse(晒衣架) above it that we used to hang all our stuff on, and it was just lovely. It was a very warm room and my grandmother used to make ice cream that wed eat there.I spent a lot of time in the vegetable garden picking peas and eating them. My grandmother used to get really angry with me because I would pick all the vegetables and fruit for dinner, but eat half of it before she could start cooking. The homegrown food tasted so fresh and delicious. I went back to Crosslands a few years ago but it turned out to be a big mistake. Theyve modernized the house and gotten rid of those lovely old fireplaces. Theyve also knocked wall down so the drawing room and living room have become one big, modern room. I think the house has become smaller and my memory of this lovely, large, warm, comfortable house was completely different.It taught me a valuable lesson: _.60 . Is Crosslands a house which the writers grandparents once owned?_61 . Where did the writers family hang all their stuff?_62 . Why did the writers grandma get angry with him?_63 .
