Texting in the street—your funeral
Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.
One in ten  41  users has already been  42  because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to  43  lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.
To test the danger of texting while  44  , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a  45  path while trying to  46  in a message on the phone.
Around them, screens  47  up instructions to avoid stepping on  48  colors on the floor.
She found that people missed one in five  49  because they were so busy with their phones.
“In  50  life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is  51
to go unnoticed by people  52  and walking,” she said.
Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the  53
of phones to make texting on the move  54  . That could  55  easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.
“The safest thing is  56  people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57  a lot of people in business are  58  to carry a mobile phone and be in  59  24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls  60  , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

The neglected baby is crying alone. The young man, suffering from a lack of sleep, threatens suicide. The marriage fails because of the husband’s crazy behavior.
Is this just another story of social breakdown in the modern age? Not really. But they are the effects of a real social problem—Internet Addiction(沉溺), or, Internet Addiction Disorder.
The addiction is obvious from the popularity of one game alone: “Halo 2”. It’s a first-person shooter developed by Bungie Studios for the Xbox video game console. By early 2005, 1 million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game, among which are 360, 000 Chinese players.
China has about 94 million regular Internet users. Of these, a survey suggested, 4.4 million are teenagers who are so addicted to it that they neglect anything else.
Video gamers who have gone too far show symptoms similar to those of alcohol and drug abusers. “The real world meant nothing to me when I was fully involved in online games. I lost track of time, space, hunger, pain, and everything,” explained Liu Pinyi, a 19-year-old college dropout. She has had treatment in Beijing for her addiction.
What makes it similar to drugs is that online game addicts also develop a chemical imbalance in their brains. Gaming stimulates the production of a chemical compound that produces delighted or pleasant feelings. When they’re away from the screen, they suffer feelings of anxiety and headaches.
Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are partly because they are pushed right into the center of the action. This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can often suffer from.

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch (从头开始 )? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can"t you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle they"d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain"s largest health charity. The results were surprising.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents (回答者) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it"s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school. 
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and obviously their pets too.
"If we don"t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic of tasks."
And Scotland"s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results pose (对... 提出) serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
小题1:For the interest of country people should         .

In China, most people ride bikes to school,or to work,or to places where they want to go.So China is called “kingdom of bicycles”.
But Americans are a people on the wheel.Wherever you go, you will see cars.There are so many cars that there is a traffic jam here and there.Now, more and more Americans would not consider it a healthy way of life.In fact, many Americans are strongly against the advancement of the wheel.We should encourage people to use less cars to save our environment and the energy.
Everyone wants to reduce pollution.But the pollution problem is very serious.People drive cars and the waste gas from them causes air pollution.On the other hand, the need for energy increases every day, and some sources of energy are running out. Oil will last for no more than 40 years, while coal could last another 300 years.The way we’re heading is towards a world where people are going to go cold and hungry.Now in China many rich men live away from downtown.On holidays they go to some big cities and places of interest.Most of them use their own cars.But China is a country with a population of over 1.3 billion.So, if you have enough money in the future,what will you do?
