Charles Dickens was born in 1812. His father was a clerk and wasn’t paid much, so the family lived in an old, poor house. Then Mr. Dickens lost his job and went deep into debt(債).
One day, the police showed up and asked Mr. Dickens if he could pay his debts. When Mr. Dickens said he didn’t have enough money, one policeman answered that he had to go to debtor’s prison.
With no one to support them, Mrs. Dickens and the children, except Charles, moved into prison with their father. Even though Charles was only 12 years old, he got a job in a dirty, black shoe polish factory working 12 hour days.
When Mr. Dickens received some money from a relative, he paid his debts and got out of prison. He then got a job as a court reporter.
Charles went back to school. Charles studied hard and learned quickly. He also studied people, paying attention to what they did and why they did it.
After two years, he got a job as a reporter at England’s Houses of Parliament and he found it attractive.
Then one day Dickens decided to be imaginative, and he wrote a story of his own. Every character seemed to be a little like someone he had known. Finally one evening he dropped off his story, under the penname Boz, at The Monthly Magazine office.
A month later Dickens was shouting joyfully, “They printed my story! I’m an author!”
The magazine wanted more and more stories by Boz. Soon Dickens was writing stories about children working in factories, families living in debtor’s prison and poor people being hungry. He made the stories fun to read in high hopes that people would do something about the things that were wrong.

William Blake described the eyes as the “windows of the soul.” Our eyes are the windows through which we see the world around us. Either way,there’s no question that we place great value on our eyes and our eyesight. Surveys have shown that of the five senses,sight is the one that people fear losing the most.
Thinking about the important function of our eyes,we’d give them the best care possible, but sometimes we get too busy or forget to do a few simple things that can keep our eyes healthy.
Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you that carrots would improve your eyesight. Well, she might be right. Proper food will keep your eyes strong and healthy.
Give up your daily habits that could seriously injure your eyes. Always wear sunglasses in a sunny day to protect your eyes from Ultraviolet ray(紫外線). Rest your eyes every 20 minutes from the computer screen by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break when working at a computer.
Make sure your eyes do not get injured in the first place. You should try to prevent eye injuries whether you’re playing sports or doing housework. You should also know when to wear safety glasses and what kinds will work best for you.
Last but not least, get your eyes examined regularly. Eye exams can help find some eye diseases. It’s important to find these diseases early on, when they’re easier to treat.
