If you need glasses to read this, you are among the ma?jority of Chinese students. That's because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry. Four fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.

This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple cau?ses: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home, they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun.

The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing good eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. Ac?cording to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National Uni?versity, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 per cent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only 3 per cent of Australian children do.

Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashion statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long-term consequences. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration(黄斑变性)，a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness.

With all that in mind, don't you think it's time to give your eyes a break? Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park, instead. It's the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it.

1. What does the underlined word "blurry" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Unpopular. B. Unpleasant.

C. Unclear. D. Unconscious.

2.How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage?

A. They should study less and less.

B. They should stay longer outdoors.

C.They should wear sunglasses.

D. They should have a longer rest in bed.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that is to blame for the poor eyesight of Chinese children.

A. the ever-worsening bad weather

B. the ever-increasing burden of study

C. the ever-decreasing sunny days

D. the ever-decreasing period of study time

4. What is the purpose of this article?

A. To explain why Chinese students are short-sighted.

B. To admire Australian children's good eyesight.

C. To criticize the present education system.

D. To call on people to protect Chinese children's eye?sight.

Way back in 1662,John Evelyn,a brilliant Englishman known for his detailed diaries, wrote about disastrous effects of coal-burning on the city of London. In it, he described an infernal scene of smog, air filled with "Columns and Clouds of Smoke", given out by small industries and residences that burned coal for fuel.

I found the description in the 2003 book When Smoke Ran like Water , by

epidemiologist(流行病学家) and environmental advocator (倡导者)Devra Davis. In it, Davis looks back at several historic pollution events and their disastrous effects on human health ― and at how these phenomena were often ignored or even active?ly covered up by people in charge at that time.

As Davis points out,John Evelyn was ahead of his time when writing about how London's polluted air af?fected the well-being of its residents. It wasn't until nearly 300 years later, after what became well-known as the Great Smog of 1952, that the government began to address the problem in a systematic way.

For four days, between December 5th and 9th, due to all the accidents of the weather pattern, the city was buried in a heavy fog. People were still burning coal for fuel,and low-grade coal at that time,because of wartime condition. A temperature inversion (转向)trapped the smoke from the city's fires, creating a black cloud in which people could barely find their way down the most familiar streets. Some tried to protect themselves, but most people simply went about their business.

But 1952's fog was far worse than any other in memory. In the same week of the previous year, 1852 people had died in London; in 1952, that number was 4,703. And the deaths didn't stop when the weather changed and the fog lifted. Davis and her colleagues an?alyzed data from the next several months and found that about 13,000 more people died between December and March than one would have predicted from historical av?erages. Many of them died of pneumonia(肺炎).The government,she writes, tried to blame a bad flu season. Her detailed analysis found that explanation simply did not pan out.

Davis writes that even today in this country, we still have not completely absorbed the lessons of similar events. The killer fog has lifted in London for sixty-years, and people are dying

preventable deaths and suf?fering life, changing illnesses,simply because they must breathe the air of the cities where they live.

1. The passage is written to .

A.warn people of the danger from air pollution

B.introduce London's Great Smog of 1952

C.blame the government for the smog

D.explain the reasons for air pollution

2.The underlined word "infernal" in the first paragraph

that .

B.a forest fire created a black cloud over the city

4. How does the writer feel about the present air condi?tion in London?
