11、 people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside.

17、asses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have the

18、wrong glasses.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes pool eyesight, but that is unique. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, rea

23、s a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probably came up in Egypt or Persia some 2500 years ago.
