34、d of time too long to be considered a flash flood. Flooding is caused in many ways. Winter or spring rains, together with melting snows, can fill rivers too quickly.

36、ting, or occasionally even a dam break. The constantinflux（汇集） of water finally caused a great overflow to begin, powerful enough to sweep vehicles away, roll big stones into roadways, uproot trees,level（夷平） buildings, and knock bridges down. The speed of the rising of water is the most frightening.

Others play video games or chat on line for a long time. All this will do harm to their eyes.As students, we must try our best to take care of our eyes; therefore we should form a good habit of reading, do eyesight exercises regularly and never wear out our eyes.
