8、900 schoolchildren. The scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did bec
9、ome nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors.The researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60-minute class of o
10、utdoor activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. The other half of the children, from another six schools, continued their usual activity
11、patterns. After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention (干预) group had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group.It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit childrens eyesight, the researchers said. However, some research
12、 has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine (多巴胺) of the eye. In turn, dopamine is known to restrain (抑制) the type of growth in the eye that is associated with nearsightedness.Based on the new results, the researchers reco
13、mmend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight. However, its important to protect kids skin and eyes from UV light, which can be damaging.1.What did the children in the intervention group do during each school day?A.Attend an extra class of outdoor a

The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russias Global
25、 Navigation(导航) Satellite System, the European Unions Galileo and Chinas own satellite navigation system, BeiDou.On October 14, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically-produced jet equipped with the BeiDou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed
26、 the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced aboard, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.Since its introduction in 2000, the Beidou navigation system has seen increasing numbers of applications linked to everyday life, from shared b
27、ikes to farming.When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support BeiDou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike.Farmers can use BeiDou-enabled tractors to plow(犁) the soil and use unmanned aircraft with BeiDou to sow seeds, which can improve efficien
28、cy and make better use of resources. BeiDous farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.With its many uses,the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative(一带一路倡议).
