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.
1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the research?
A. 30 minutes. B. 60 minutes. C. 90 minutes. D. 120 minutes.
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a day playing outside.
D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.
3. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.
B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.
C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.
D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.

Passage E
（2019中考科普环保类选练）
You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
1. You can see the book because_______.
A. your eyes are close to it B. it reflects some of the sunlight
C. it has light of its own D. your eyesight can get to it
2. The underlined word “luminous” means_______.
A. visible B. all colors C. giving off light D. sunlight
3. Light traces about _________ kilometers per second.

A. 380 000 B. 300 000 C. 400 000 D. 190 000

B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C. All the things you can see give off light.
D. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. You can see and read a book because you open your eyes.
