It challenges the belief that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light. The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people's eyes. They compared the vision (视力)and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia.

However, the Australian children spent a ( n) 3 of two hours a day outdoors -90 minutes more than the Singaporean children. Professor Ian Morgan,from the Australian Research Council's Vision Centre,said,“Humans are 4 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 5 .” 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(化学物质)which stops the eyeball from growing out of 6 and prevents people from becoming short-sighted. So be outdoors. It doesn't matter whether that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports. ( ) 1.A.increase B.reduce C. break D. cause ( ) 2. A. higher B. lower C.smaller D.bigger ( ) 3.
