An 11﹣year﹣old boy Frank loved to read ghost stories． Every time he paid a visit to the library and got back a horror story． And he liked playing scary tricks on his friends．
One day， Frank's friend Pavan asked him to come over to his house after school． Frank played there until very late． He walked along the road in the quiet wood． How dark it was!
Then he heard a noise that came from behind． "Guess what I can do with my long bony fingers and my long sharp teeth？" It was a human voice．
Hearing the terrible voice， Frank started to run， but the terrible voice still went after him．
Out of breath， he stopped， nervous． In a trembling （发抖的）voice， he asked， "Who's there？"
But all he heard was the voice saying： "Guess what I can do with my long bony fingers and my long sharp teeth？，
Frank started running again． When Frank arrived home， he gathered his last bit of courage and turned to ask， "Who are you and what can you do with your long bony fingers and your long sharp teeth？"
"Aha! Frank! Didn't you find that I was running after you all the time？" said his dad．
"Daddy？ Ifs you？ You mean the voice came from you？ But why？" asked Frank．
"Well， I thought I would give you a scare for a change， just like you do to others after reading one of your stories! said Frank's dad．
Frank looked at his father for a long time． And then they went inside the house together．

June 6th is National Eye Care Day. It is a good chance for us to improve our eye health. What are common eye problems we have today? How can we protect our eyes? Read on to find out the answer.
Eyes are important in our everyday life. We use them to read books, see colors and view the wonders of the world. But sometimes, we use them too much and it hurts them.
In the past, nearsightedness (近视) was a common eye problem among children. This is mostly because of their bad eye habits, such as watching TV too long and reading books in bed.
However, today’s technology is changing the way we live. Children spend more time working and playing in front of computers, smartphones and iPads. US children spend more than 42 hours a week in front of electronic screens (电子屏幕), US’ ABC news reported.
This has caused a new problem for our eyes: digital (数字的) eyestrain (眼疲劳). People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain, watering and other eye problems.
But don’t worry. The following tips can help you protect your eyes. Try them out.
Screen advice:
1. When you are watching electronic screens, keep them at least 30 cm from your eyes. Try not to use your smartphone in direct sunlight.
2. Blink (眨眼) more often when you are looking at the screen. This can help to stop dry eyes.
3. Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.
4. Spend less time in front of screens. One to two hours a day is OK for your eyes.People get a good chance to care about their _______________ on June 6th every year.
