13.For better eyesight,doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time.
However,another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia (近視).An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia.
The research team found that the prevalence (流行) of myopia among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore,even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens.The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore.
Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects,which prevents the eyes from changing shape.But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities.
Jane Gwiazda,who does research in sight problems,says:"Natural light is good for eye growth.And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth."
Many doctors suggest that every child gets its first eye test done when he/she is about two and half years old,and even if his/her sight seems perfect.
It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches,trouble reading or injuries.It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students'eyes.
If that is not possible,school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses.And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children,but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.

分析 近視的原因有很多,澳大利亞的一項(xiàng)研究有了新發(fā)現(xiàn).文章就這一發(fā)現(xiàn)展開(kāi)說(shuō)明.
解答 BCDD
32 B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二、三段another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia (近視).可知這一研究的目的是研究近視的原因.故選B.
33 C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中的"The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore."可知悉尼兒童近視少的原因是他們從事戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)的時(shí)間比較長(zhǎng),故選C.
34 D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段中的"But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities."可知,戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)眼睛有益.故選D.
35 D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段中的"Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects,which prevents the eyes from changing shape."可知注意力集中在遠(yuǎn)方的物體對(duì)保護(hù)眼睛有好處,故選D.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 學(xué)生需要認(rèn)真閱讀原文,把握文章大意,對(duì)文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解,能仔細(xì)查找文中細(xì)節(jié),并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行合理的推測(cè)判斷.
