A boy thought that he was the unhappiest person in the world.In his opinion，he was unlucky，because almost everything bad always happened to him.So he wanted to find the secret of happiness.He walked a long way and finally came to a beautiful palace（宫殿）.There，he met the king.
After learning why the boy had come，the king suggested（建议） that he should look around the palace and come back in two hours. "At the same time，I want you to hold this spoon（勺） with milk，" said the king. "As you walk around my palace，carry this spoon without spilling the milk. "
The boy kept his eyes fixed on the spoon and began to walk around the golden palace.After two hours，he came back to the king. "Well，"asked the king， "did you see the wonderful paintings in my dining hall？Did you see the colorful flowers in the garden？"The boy felt sorry because he saw nothing.He only paid attention to（注意） the milk.
"Then go back and see the beauty of my world，" said the king.This time the boy saw all of the works of art on the walls.He saw the great gardens and mountains all around.When he came back，he described everything he saw.
"But where is the milk？"asked the king.Looking down at the spoon he held，the boy saw the milk was gone. "Well，there is only one piece of advice I can give you，" said the king. "The secret of happiness is to see all the beauty of the world and also keep an eye on the milk in the spoon. "
Our family went to the Yellow Stone National Park last summer vacation. Our son, Tom, wanted to see bears there. And what a breathtaking experience (经历) it was!
When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore (探险). As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear go into our tent.
Tom wanted his father to chase (追赶) it away. His father said, "No. It's dangerous to chase a bear. And don't let it chase you." Susie said, "What shall we do? Maybe we should climb up a tree." Tom said, "No. We have to get it out of there. It might (可能) go to sleep in our tent. " "Maybe we could make it leave if we put some honey outside for it to eat," Susie suggested (建议). Then I said, "How are you going to get the honey? It's in the tent. " We watched the bear go into the tent and heard it upset (翻倒；弄翻) everything inside. "It's foolish (愚蠢的) of us to try to chase it away," said my husband (丈夫). "Leave it alone and wait for it to come out." We waited, but the bear stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car that night.

When the Americans are at home，they（usual）enjoy spending their free time on all kinds of DIYs（do it yourself）.Maybe this is a little（difference）from our Chinese people.When we Chinese are at home，we would like to enjoy（our）by watching TV or receiving our friends.But American people like spending their time in（do）some kinds of work on their own.They believe it to be helpful and（interest）.
In their eyes，DIYs will not only help them to develop their brains but also save them much time.Forvery little job，they will need to think twice before carrying it out well.This will certainly do much goodtheir brains and make them brighter and brighter.
Some Americans live far away from the service center（服务中心）.When（anything）goes wrong，they will have to wait（a long time before finding the right service.In these cases，they would also love to manage by themselves.So in America，DIYs are very popular.Therea lot of newspapers on them，even books and websites.
The eyes are the windows of our soul （灵魂）.However，you have to look after them properly.Your eyes need everyday attention.
Pay more attention to your diet.Have more fresh fruits，vegetables，fish，eggs and milk.It's good for your eyes.Besides，we should take some vitamins A and B2 regularly （有规律地）.
Have a regular sleep.It.relaxes the eye muscles （肌肉） and gives them the rest required.Usually you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day，or you will get dark circles under the eyes.
Exercise eyes every day.Blink （眨） your eyes regularly ，which makes the eyeballs watery（充满水的），and gives them a good wash.
Use your eyes in right ways.Rubbing （摩擦） is harmful to your eyes.For example，if a small thing goes into your eye，don't rub it.Don't read or write in the sun.Too much reading，writing，watching TV or working on the computer can also make eyes tired，so a good rest is required.
Taking care of your eyes is important.
