I sat down to read under an old tree in the park. I felt my life was 16 , for my whole world was dark.

A young boy ran up to me, out of 17 . He stood right before me with his head down and said 18 , “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and dead. I gave him a small smile and then turned my eyes away so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play.

However, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his 19 and said in surprise, “It smells sweet and it’s beautiful, too. That’s 20 I picked it. Here, it’s for you.” The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must 21 it, or he might never leave.

B

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. 31. 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.
