Many people often spend hours watching videos on their phones before sleep, with the lights off. However, did you know that using your phone in the dark is not a very good idea?The screen of your phone sends out blue light, which is quite harmful to your eyes. It can also be hard for you to go asleep.
What is blue light?Blue light is everywhere. It is sent out both by artificial （人造的） light and by our biggest light—the sun! Blue light is the part of visible light which has the second shortest wavelength. Light with shorter wavelengths have greater power. The strong energy of blue light allows it to pass easily through the cornea （角膜） of our eyes. Therefore, blue light is quite harmful to our eyes.
However, blue light isn't all that bad. After all, it is a part of sunlight. In fact, it can help to improve our sleep. The problem, however, lies in the bright screen lights we stare at each night. In other words, the problem isn't exactly the exposure （暴露） to blue light, but the timing of our exposure to it.
Some scientists studied the difference between reading a paper book and an e﹣book before bedtime. They found that it took longer for people who used an e﹣reader to fall asleep. These people were also less smart in the following morning.
So, to protect the quality of your sleep, avoid screens an hour or two before your bedtime. If you must use your phone before going to bed, keep a night lamp on.
On Dec. 13, the Ministry of Education said that homework help apps, which allow students to get answers by taking photos and uploading them online, will be removed（移除, 删除） for the moment. These apps may make students lazy, affect their independent thinking and go against the law of education teaching, the ministry said.
Some online tutoring（辅导） apps may be affected, and they have many users. For example, the Zuoyebang app had more than 100 million users in 2020, according to a report by Xueyan Thinktank. Meanwhile, at the end of 2019, about 8. 6 billion searched had been made in the Xiaoyuan Souti app. It solved at least 23. 47 million questions each day, reported Global Times.
These homework help apps spoiled some students, an English teacher surnamed Yan, from Hebei province, told Global Times. "They finish homework efficiently, but score poorly in exams. "
However, students are not the only ones who use such apps. Some parents also log in to help children with their homework.
"It was challenging for me to solve fifth﹣grade math questions. "A parent surnamed Lu told online newspaper Sixth Tone. "Now he's in the eighth grade. I'm at a loss if I need to check his homework. Removal of these apps means a lot of trouble for me. "
You may often hear some myths about animals. For example, one dog year equals about seven human years, chameleons（变色龙） change color to match their environment. . . Today, let's talk about birds. It is said that if you touch a baby bird, the parents will completely abandon（抛弃） it. Do you really believe it?
In fact, most birds have a very poor sense of smell, so in most cases they are unable to even notice the smell of humans on baby birds. Not only that, but most types of birds aren't so quick to abandon their young when they sense danger. Some types will even do their best to protect their young when they are in danger.
Indeed, in very few known cases, parent birds sometimes abandoned their nests from something touching their young, just because they noticed it by sight, not smell . When this happens , the parent birds usually won't care, other than to be a little more careful than normal. Sometimes, they may temporary（暂时地） abandon the nest in order to better watch whatever disturbed their nest comes back.
What's more, in most cases, even if the nest is destroyed by wind or something to that effect, you could create a new one and put all the baby birds back in it, and when the parents came back, they wouldn't care their baby birds were in a different nest, so long as you put the new nest near where the old one was so they can find it.

Self﹣disciplined（自律的） people are not all excellent（优秀的） people. The real difference between an excellent person and an ordinary person is that an excellent person can manage（管理）his or her time well. What people call self﹣discipline is in fact self﹣management.
