The Australian government researchers did research on the eyesight and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. The research shows that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. If you spend two or three hours playing outdoors each day, it is not easy for you to become short-sighted.
Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching TV and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average(平均)of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children. As a result 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted —this rate(比率)was ten times higher than Australian children.
Dr. 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’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 stop us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质).It can stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and stop people becoming short-sighted.
So be outdoors. It does n’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports. 66.The researchers did research on _________ of the children in two countries.
