1.Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted(近視的),a research shows.It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use,watching TV or reading in weak light.
The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people's eyes.They compared the vision(視力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia.In all,30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted-this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.
Both groups spend a similar amount(數(shù)量) of time reading,watching television and playing computer games.However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors-90 minutes less than the Australian children.
Professor Ian Morgan,from the Australian Research Council's vision Centre,said,"Humans are naturally long-sighted,but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors,the number of short-sighted people gets larger.We're also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light.But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted?Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化學(xué)物質(zhì)) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.So be outdoors.It doesn't matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.

16.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從每小題A、B、C三個選項中選出一個最佳答案.
Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job.Every day trucks come into a city to collect it.Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use.If we kept these things,we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.
In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump (垃圾場).Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole.The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system (系統(tǒng)).The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets,bathtubs (浴缸) and other places.
To keep mice and flies away,some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish.Later,grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land.Finally,a house or a school may be built there,and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.
In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places.The fire burns everything except the metal.Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal.The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles (堆) and they slowly change into something that looks like black earth.It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.
