It challenges the belief that short-sightednessis caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for peoples eyes.They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in China and Australia. In all, 30% of the Chinese children were short-sighted. This percentage was ten times higher than Australian children.Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching TV and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average of two hours a day outdoors-90 minutes more than the Chinese children.Professor Ian Morgan 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 are 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 go outdoors. It doesnt matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.31 . What can reduce a childs chance of becomingshort-sighted according to the passage?APlaying computergames.Bwatching TV.CReading books.DPlaying outdoors32 . What does the underlined word percentagemean?A百分比B功率C平均分D效率33 . How much time did the Chinese children spend outdoors every day?A2 hours.B90minutes.C1 hour.D30 minutes.34 . What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?AWhy people become short-sighted.BWhy natural light has a special chemical.CWhy playing outside is good for ones eyesight.DWhy daylight is much brighter than indoor light.As a student, you must have met all kinds of teachers.

Ive always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, but Miss Li just smiles, so that I dont feel that stupid!Mrs. Chen is very strict and serious. In her class, we dont dare to say a word unless she asks us to. There are a few students in our class who keep coming to class late, but theyre always on time for Mrs. Chens lessons!

Physics will never be my favorite lesson, but, I think Ill do well in the exam with Mrs. Chen teaching me.Mr. Wu is very popular. He really enjoys teaching Chinese.

He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. Id read the signs: “Dont give money to panhandlers (乞丐）.” So I shook my head and kept walking.I wasnt prepared for a reply, but he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.I couldnt forget what happened to me that day for the rest of the week. I had money in mypocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a very cold night, no less, I thought the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I still couldnt help thinking of him.I was the writer of a weekly garden column (专栏）at The Anchorage Daily News. One day, out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Beans Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feedshundreds of hungry people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in theirgardens for Beans? Plant a row and take it down to Beans. Clean and simple.We didnt keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. People would call me when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers gave them away. Food for the spirit.In 1995 , the Garden Writers Association of America ( GWAA) held their meeting in Anchorage and alter learning of Anchorages program, Plant a Row for Beans became Plant a Row for the Hungry. The idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry.As more and more people started working with the program, many companies
