Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of

becoming short-sighted, 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(视力

) 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(

数量

) 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(

化学物质

)

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.

How much sleep do

we need? We

are

all different. Some

people need only

three hours

of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an

average

(

平均

)

of

seven

to

eight

hours

a

night.

After

the

age

of

fifty,

the

average

sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a day.

Most people

have

a night when they cannot

sleep. About one in

three(1/3) Americans

has

a

problem

with

sleep.

Many

of

these

people

can

not

fall

asleep.

The

name

of

this

problem is insomnia.

This

is

not

a

new

problem.

Many

famous

people

in

history

had

insomnia.

Some

of

these

people

had

special

ideas

to

make

them

sleep.

Benjamin

Franklin,

a

famous

statesman

(

政治家

)

and

inventor,

had

four

beds.

He

moved

from

one

to

another

to

413

beds and hoped

to fall asleep in one of them. Mark
