　　I thought that I was right and he was wrong — and Tony just thought that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher, Mrs. Green, decided to teach us a very (2)       lesson.
　　Mrs. Green asked us to stand on each side of her desk. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could (3)       see that it was black. She asked Tony what (4)       the object was. "White," Tony answered. I couldn't (5)       Tony said the object was white, when it was black! Another fight started (6)       us, this time about the color of the object.
　　The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to come and stand where I had been. (7)       changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was, I had to answer, " (8)      " It was an object with (9)       differently colored sides.

17．　　Yesterday I went to buy a little tree for my father. When I was talking with the cashier (收银员), he asked what I would be doing with this little tree. I explained that it was for my Dad, because he no longer lived at home.
　　The cashier just stopped and looked at me with the kindest look. He shared with me that his grandfather couldn't live in their home any longer either because he had Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默症). So I shared with him that my Dad was on the same journey. We talked about the difficulties because of the illness, not only for those who are ill, but also for their families.
　　When I was paying for the tree, he said, "Because this is for your Dad, let me see what I can do for you." He took some coupons (优惠券) from a drawer and reduced my cost by over 60%.
　　I thanked him for his kindness. We wished each other Merry Christmas and the best hopes for our loved family members.
　　On the way home I kept thinking of the kindness the offered me. It was truly a moment of "kindness given, kindness received". I made Dad's tree more beautiful as soon as I got home. So thankful. So blessed.

18．　　It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.
　　First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain(劳损), headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone.
　　Second, screen use can do harm to children's brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect(影响) how children's brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens.
　　Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it's hard for you to get enough sleep. So you'd better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime.
　　To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn't use screens for long hours.
