Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce(減少)a child’s chance of becoming short-sighted（近視）,research shows . It challenges the belif that short-sightedness is caused by computer use , watching TV or reading in weak light .
Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people’s eyes . They compared the vision （視力）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 Australia 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 peoplegets 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（化學(xué)物質(zhì)）which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted .
So go outdoors .It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports .

Want a good night's sleep? Then turn off your computer, cell phone or PSP two hours before you go to bed.
These things have bright lights. When our eyes see bright lights just before sleep, our sleep patterns (模式) change, a study has found.
Our body clock starts shutting us down for bed at 9 or 10 pm. But bright lights make our minds think that it is still daytime. That wakes us up and leaves us sleepless, experts say.
But if you read a paper book before sleeping, you won't have this problem. This is because light from a bedside lamp (臺燈) does not go straight into our eyes.
Also, if you are watching a television from across the bedroom, you won't have problems falling asleep. The TV sends light to us from a distance, so the light won't be as strong.
小題1:The writer tells us to turn off the computer         before bed time.
A．half an hourB．a(chǎn)n hourC．two hoursD．three hours
小題2:Which of the following may make us sleepless?
A．Reading a newspaper.B．Talking on QQ.
C．Reading a book.D．Watching TV.
小題3:Why can't we sleep well if we use a computer before bed time?
A．We think it is daytime if we leave computers on.
B．We feel too excited to sleep after using computers.
C．Lights from computers are brighter than other lights.

A ban on smoking in most public places goes into effect(效果) on Sunday in China - home to a third of the world's smokers. That means around 300 million smokers will no longer be allowed to light their cigarettes in the "enclosed public places." These include hotels, restaurants, theaters and public transport waiting rooms. The ban does not cover offices or factories.
The campaign is aimed at controlling(控制) the number of deaths from smoking-related illnesses, running at a million a year. According to the World Health Organization, more than 3,000 people die every day in China because of smoking. Health experts also hope it will help Chinese to raise the knowledge of the dangers of smoking.
But the new rules have been criticized because they do not include punishments(處罰) for those who choose not to obey them.Most people worry that Chinese smoking ban may have little effect.
Business owners often hate rules that force(強(qiáng)迫) them to ban smoking on their restaurants, bar, cafe..., because many customers(顧客) do not like the rules and complain. Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar.
It appears that many Chinese people don’t know the dangers of smoking. Research suggests only one in four knows the harm(害處) cigarettes or second-hand smoke can cause.

There was a lovely vegetable patch (菜園). A large tree grew there. Both the patch and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride of the gardener. But no one knew that the vegetables and the tree couldn’t stand (忍受) each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow (陰影), because it left them only just enough light to live.

Scientists believe in the near future a new kind of car that can not only drive on the road, but also fly in the sky will serve the people, it is called “flying-driving vehicle”.

Transition can climb to more than 3000 meters high. It can carry two people at speeds over 160 kilometers an hour in the air. And on the ground it can drive at highway speeds, about 113 kilometers an hour.
Scientists expect Transition to reach market at the end of 2012, at a price of around 25, 0000 dollars. Mr. Carl Dietrich says nearly 100 people have already signed up as buyers. He hopes to sell as many as 1000 a year in the near future.
