It sounded like his wife was a very good person. “Well,what are you crying for?” I asked again.

Nowadays, many children spend hours a day looking at computer screens or other digital (数码的) products. Some eye care doctors say all the screen time has caused more children to have what they call computer vision syndrome (视力综合症).
Nathan Warford is an optometrist in the US. He says he has seen more children having eye problems. “More children come into my office because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red eyes, or because their degree of short-sightedness (近视) appears to be increasing very fast and they’re worried,” he said.
Dr. Warford says part of the problem is that even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, some children don’t tell their parents,because they don’t want their games or the computer to be taken away. Another part of the problem is that people blink (眨眼睛) less often when they look at the screen. A person who uses a computer or a digital product blinks about a third as much as we normally (正常地) do in everyday life. If eyes can’t stay wet or are too tired, they will not be protected like normal.
56. From the passage, we know too much screen time may causes ________.
A. wet eyes
B. headaches
C. blinking
57. Some children don’t tell their parents their eyes problems because ________.
A. their parents don’t care about them
B. they don’t want to part with computer games
C. they don’t want their parents to worry
58. People blink ________ they normally do when they use computers.
A. less than
B. more than
C. as much as
59. From the passage, we can know that ________.
A. children should blink as much as possible
B. if our eyes stay wet, they will not be normal
C. looking at the screen long may increase degree of short-sightedness fast.
60. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. some information about the latest digital products
B. Dr. Warford’s experience of working out eye problems
C. eye problems in children caused by using digital products
