Thumbs Down to Texting 屈指发短信
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?
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. Our thumbs were 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 sick people with RSI. She says we
need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15
minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
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 cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSL
Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so
much time using computer, video games and mobile phones. If we don"t do something about this, too
many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
Note: RSI abbr .肢体重复性劳损 (repetitive strain injury).

| Good morning, class! We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colorful. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat(聊天) freely online with our friends. It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world. But some students spend too much time in playing computer game and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Teenagers even get to have b  oyfriends or girlfriends online. They write too many l etters to each other. It takes them to much time to chat online so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents. At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We have different kinds of activities. If you are interested in sports,you can play basketball or football.We can go to the English Corner.We can practice talking in English there. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet. Thank you for listening to me. That’s all. |

| What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish. Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品). Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also t ake back some old computers. In some countries, laws(法规)are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级). Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations(组织)are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体)and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things- and cut down on waste, too. |
