5．　　Many of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a Number One place.
　　There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因)and aging (老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water.
　　Also, it's important that you must try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from ultraviolet rays.
　　Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly(定期地)and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.
　　All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

6．　　Whatever life threw at us each year, our family had one tradition at Christmas: our dog Pepper opened our presents for us.
　　Last year, everyone made it home for a Christmas get﹣together. However, it couldn't feel perfect because Pepper's health was becoming worse. Her life had already been longer than we expected﹣she was fourteen﹣and yet her mind was still sharp. Her love for life made us feel better. But her body could not keep up with her mind.
　　Probably it was Pepper's last Christmas, so we decided to make sure she would enjoy it. On Christmas Eve, we each prepared presents for her.
　　Soon, Pepper selected her first Christmas gift. She turned the present, just as she was a young dog once more. She pulled the paper off the dog treat before she chewed it slowly. Our family was so happy.
　　Pepper saw the other three presents, and then turned to Mom as if asking, "May I open another?"
　　"Go ahead, girl!" Mom encouraged.
　　For the next few minutes, Pepper opened each of her Christmas presents. While she did, she reminded us of the joy of being together. Our family felt as a whole﹣not because we were in the same room or city, but because our love brought us together.
　　Pepper passed away after Christmas. Her peaceful passing made us tearful. Her passing was also a celebration of life, because she gave my family so much love and laughter.
　　I still treasure (珍惜) Pepper's final Christmas gift. She taught me that no matter where we each spend the holidays, the smallest act of sincere giving can unite our family through our love. For me, that knowledge is the longest-lasting gift of all.
