(2018·山东菏泽东明二模)Look around and you'll see people busy on their smartphones. Mobile phones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?

According to a study, half of British people own mobile phones and they spend about two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who have shortsightedness(近视) since mobile phones were introduced there in 1997.

Staring at mobile phones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something far away, your eyes blink(眨眼) a number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces tears and makes your eyes uncomfortable. Another bad habit is using mobile phones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen in dark rooms, your eyes will become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼)．

While you're probably not going to stop using to your mobile phone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. You should hold your phone at least 30 cm away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. It can reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

1．When were mobile phones introduced into the UK?

2．What makes your eyes dry according to the passage?

3．请根据短文内容完成句子。

Using mobile phones can cause glaucoma. 4．把短文第四自然段中画线句子翻译成汉语。
