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 of time reading,watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average of only half an hour a day outdoors-90 minutes less than the Australian children.
Professor Lan 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.

Almost every day, we discuss the topic(话题)of health, especially(尤其是)for kids. But what is health?"Health means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Here is some advice that can help you keep healthy.
Eat different kinds of foods, especially fruit and vegetables. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only eat different kinds of food to get the nutrition(营养).
Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides(除了)that, kids need plenty of calcium(钙)to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks, like soda and cola, because they have no important nutrition.
Listen to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. If you eat too much too often, it can make you feel unhealthy and fat.
Limit(限制)screen time. What's screen time?It's the amount(数量)of time you spend watching TV, movies, and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you will spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like bike riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.
