Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!

    But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine() in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep
you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
    Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

For better eyesight (视力), doctors advise limiting (限制) the hours of screen 
time and encourage having enough eye resting time.
However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for 
long hours is not the only reason for myopia (近视). An Australian research team 
studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia. The 
research team found that there were less children who had myopia in Sydney than 
those in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV 
screens. The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor 
sports than those in Singapore.
Indoor and outdoor sports both make the eyes pay attention to more distant (远处的) objects, which stops the eyes from changing original shape. But outdoor sports 
may be better than indoor sports for myopia. Because natural light is good for eye 
growth and vitamin (维他命) D from the sunlight might be useful to it. Many 
doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test when he/she is about two and 
half years old, and even if his/her sight seems good enough. It is necessary for myopic(近视的) children to wear glasses to stop headaches, trouble reading and so on. It is
