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.
How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the research?

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

If we are asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written it in an account(陈述) of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we don’t have written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but it was often destroyed(破坏) by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a great deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learnt to write.
Sometimes, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and those have been sung and acted and told for many generations(代), for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has been written history because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often helpful.
Which of the following ideas is NOT included in the passage?

We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ________.

“Remembered history” is considered as valuable only when ________.

The passage suggests(暗示) that we could have learnt much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ________.

Every time we turn on the TV or take a ride in a car, we could be adding to a problem called acid rain(酸雨). In this article, we’ll learn something important about acid rain.
The formation of acid rain
When people use fuels (燃料), such as coal and gasoline(汽油), poisonous gases are given off. When these gases come together with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to create the electricity(电) that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline. When rain meets these gases, harmful things called acids form. This is acid rain.
The harm of acid rain
Acid rain destroys everything that it touches. It poisons our rivers, ponds and lakes and oceans along with the life in them. It pollutes our soils and crops, harm trees, and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at our buildings.
The prevention of acid rain
We need to reduce and even stop the pollution that gets into our air. Turn off lights, televisions and other electrical appliances(电器) if we are not using them. Walk and take a bike whenever possible. If we are travelling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel.
As research shows, acid rain harms our environment. But people everywhere can take small steps now to help protect our environment for future generations.

Whenever we use electricity or drive our cars we may add something bad to the air around us. And even worse, we may cause a terrible problem—acid rain.
The formation of acid rain	When fuels, such as coal and gasoline are burnt, harmful gases are sent into the air. When these gases       with rain, acid rain forms.
The harm of acid rain	Acid rain is greatly       to the environment. It makes our rivers, ponds and lakes and oceans dirty and       the death of fish and plants. And it can corrode (腐蚀) the buildings we live in.
The prevention of acid rain	Trying to prevent the pollution that gets into the air is      . Keep the electrical appliances off while they are not in use. We can also use different ways of traffic to make less use of fuels.
Research tells us that acid rain harms our environment. So people around the world can take small steps now to make a     to our kids.
