Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can     21     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.

Both groups spend a     23     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     24     —90 minutes less than the Australian children.

Professor Ian Morgan，from the Australian Research Council’s Vision Centre， said，“Humans   are     25     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     26     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     27     people from becoming short-sighted.

So be outdoors. It doesn't matter     28     that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.

Once upon a time， all feelings went to an island for a vacation， and each was having a good time. Suddenly a warning of a strong storm was announced， so all rushed to their boats. Yet， Love did not wish to run away quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened， Love realized it was time to leave. But there was no boat to spare. Love looked around with hope.

Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love shouted，“Richness， can you take me with you? ”Richness answered，“No， I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you. ”

Love decided to ask Vanity（虚荣） for help who was also passing by in a beautiful boat. But Vanity said with a cold voice，“No. I can’t take you with me. My boat will get dirty with your wet feet.”

Sadness passed by after some time. Again， Love asked for help. But it was useless. “No，I can’t take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be alone.”

When Happiness passed by a few minutes later， Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that he didn’t hear Love calling to him.

Love was becoming restless and hopeless. Just then somebody called out，“Come, Love! I will take you with me.” Love did not know who was so kind , but jumped into the boat happily.

After getting off the boat, Love met Knowledge. Love asked，“Knowledge， do you know who was so kind to give me a lift when no one else wished to help?”

Knowledge smiled，“Oh， that was Time.”

“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered， “Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”
