    Gabriel Garcia Márquez, who was awared the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982，passed away at the age of 86 on April 17，2014. The world paused to remember the cultural giant.
    Garcia Márquez was born in Colombia, but he spent most of his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers,he was widely regarded as “a giant of 20th-century literature ”. Garcia Márquez wrote in a style  called “magical realism” In such works, people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.
    Garcia Márquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, which has sold about 50 million cop ies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world –of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years. The story is a metaphor for the development of Colombia since the 19century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santons said, Garcia Márquez wrote about “the very essence of the Latin American beings”.

Smartphone, poor sight 

    Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to you eyes?
    According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.
    Staring at smartphones for long time gives  you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance ,your eyes automatically blink a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face,the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pup ils become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma.
    While you’re probably not going to stop using to your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 continues 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. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.
