There were two McDonald’s – Mac and Dick – and they were brothers. In 1948 they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers(顧客) ordering so many different things to eat.

“If we gave customers a smaller menu(菜單), we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “If we made the customers come to the counter(柜臺(tái)), we wouldn’t need any waiters and waitresses(女服務(wù)員). We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”

These were such good ideas that the McDonald’s brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly – in less than a minute – and they paid only 15 cents(分) for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries(油炸食品). The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.

Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world – even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.

McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.

Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce a child’s chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges (挑戰(zhàn)) the belief that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.

The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(視力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.

Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average(平均) of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children.

Professor(教授) Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s Vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally 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 less 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(化學(xué)物質(zhì)) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people becoming short-sighted.

So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.

1.How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average every day in the research?

A. 2 hours. B. 90 minutes.

C. 1 hour. D. 30 minutes.

2.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A. Why people become short-sighted.

B. Why natural light has a special chemical.

C. Why playing outside is good for one’s eyesight.

D. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. People will all become short-sighted after they begin to go to school.

B. Playing outdoors for 2 or 3 hours every day can help protect your eyesight.

C. Children in Australia are more likely to get short-sighted than those in Singapore.

D. If you spend two or three hours playing outside each day, you won’t get short-sighted.
