• 2．Eyes are significant organs of our body.Having a good eyesight is sometimes a must in applying for a university or a job.So many researches have been done about eyes，especially about near-sight.
     Being nearsighted is far more common than it once was.It has gone up by 66 percent in Americans since the early 1970s，according to a 2009 study by the National Eye Institute.In China and other East Asian countries，as many as 90 percent of recent high school graduates are thought to be nearsighted.
     Near-sight happens when eyeballs are longer than normal，changing the angle at which light enters the eye and therefore the ability to focus on distant objects.The disorder involves a complex interplay（相互作用）of genetics and environment and usually begins before adolescence，when the eye is growing，but it can worsen in early adulthood.
     Some experts connect the rising rates to the many hours young people stare at computers and other screens.But a recent study published in JAMA Ophthalmology suggests that a greater factor may be a side effect of all that screen-watching—it's keeping children inside.
     This new study joins a growing body of research indicating that a lack of direct sunlight may reshape the human eye and do harm to vision.Strong correlations（相關(guān)性）were found between current eyesight and volunteers' lifetime exposure to sunlight.
     Those who had gotten the most sun，particularly between the ages of 14 and 19，were about 25 percent less likely to have developed myopia（近視眼）by middle age.Exposure to sunlight up to the age of 30 can also confer a protective benefit.This relationship held true even when the researchers controlled for education as a marker primarily of time spent reading and gazing at screens.
  
  （1）When does near-sight happen？

  
  A．Eyeballs are longer.
  B．Eyeballs are shorter.
  C．Eyeballs are bigger.
  D．Eyeballs are smaller.
  （2）What is the main cause of near-sight according to the recent study？

  
  A．Lack of sleep.
  B．Using smartphones too much.
  C．Reading too much.
  D．Lack of direct sunlight explosure.
  （3）What does the underlined word "confer" in the last paragraph mean？

  
  A．Avoid.
  B．Damage.
  C．Provide.
  D．Reduce.
  （4）Where is the text most likely from？

  
  A．A diary.
  B．A magazine.
  C．A novel.
  D．A notebook.
