However, ano
20、ther study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia（近视） . 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
21、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 d
22、istant objects, which prevents the eyes from changing shape. But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities.

23、wth.” Many doctors suggest that every child get 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 invit
24、e 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.

27、en do few exercises. C Outdoor activities do more good to eyes. D Room light does harm to childrens eyes. 【小题 4】 Which of the following statements is TRUE A Children should have eye tests as soon as they reach school age. B Doing outdoor activities with no glasses is good for myopia children. C Focu

29、TV shows, music Web sites, or the music that your friends and family members enjoy.

30、ht discover you like certain types of music you never even considered.
