Text messaging or ‘texting’ is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling (肿胀) in our thumbs and wrists. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future. We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. She wasn’t doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn’t hold a pencil. As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the risks (冒险) of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain. 41. What causes the problem RSI? * B.

See here what Shenzhou VII spacemen are able to do. Do you still have a long way to go? Shenzhou VII spacemen are able to live upside down. They do this not just during sleep, but also when eating and going to the toilet. Before they flew into space, they had lots of practice. Each upside-down training time lasted for 20 days. In Shenzhou VII, Chinese spacemen aren’t just spaceship drivers, but also machine repairers and scientists. They have to know every part of the spaceship and how it works. If something goes wrong, they must know how to repair it. Also they do scientific experiments in space. Shenzhou VII spacemen know how to live in the wild. They took a knife, a gun and some dye(染料)with them into space. If they land in forests, the knife and gun can protect them from wild animals. If they fall into the sea, the dye can color the sea water around them yellow. This can help people find them easily on the sea. Shenzhou VII spacemen can’t get dizzy(头晕目眩). A spaceship is not a plane. When it goes up, the extra gravity force(引力)can break people’s bones. Spacemen must have strong bodies for this. They can’t get a headache or be sick. With many things to take care of, they’ve got no time for sickness. 47.“get started now if you dream of being a spaceman” means_______. * B. Choose the words or s and complete the passage(14分) *
