15、
“Text Neck is not just a texting problem,” said Dr. Dean Fishman. “Text Neck is a gaming problem. Text Neck is an e-mailing problem.”
Fishman made up the term “Text Neck” in 2008 while examining a 17-year-old patient. The teen came in complaining of neck pain. Fishman noticed that the teen was sitting in a chair, bending (弯曲) over her smartphone, texting away. “I knew I had something,” Fishman said.
A recent study published in Surgical Technology International’s 25th edition says texting may be hurting your back. The study found that bending your head to look at your mobile phone held in your hands can put up to 60 pounds of pressure (压力) on your neck. The average human head weighs 10 pounds in a right position – when your ears are over your shoulders. For every inch you bend your head forward, the pressure on your back doubles.
Staying in the “forward head posture” can lead to many problems. Over time, it can even change the natural curve (曲线) of your neck.
Dr. Michelle Collie, director of Performance Physical Therapy in Rhode Island, recently says Text Neck has increased very quickly, especially among her younger patients. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 8- to
18-year-olds spend almost seven and a half hours using mobile device or desktop computer for fun every day.
So what’s a smartphone-texting, laptop-loving guy to do?
First, Collie said, is to pay attention to your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor, roll your shoulders back and keep your ears directly over them so your head isn’t bent forward. And use something to support the weight of a mobile device.
Fishman’s Text Neck Institute created a mobile app to help you remember to avoid forward head posture. When your phone is held at a safe point, a green light shines. When you’re at risk for Text Neck, a red light appears.
Most important is taking breaks from time to time while using any mobile device or desktop computer. About every 20 minutes, stand up, roll your shoulders and neck or go for a short walk to have a break.
1．What might Fishman mean by saying “I knew I had something”?
A．He had the same smartphone as the patient.
B．He got a new name for the patient’s pain.
C．He wanted to play a joke on the patient.
D．He had the same idea with the patient.
2．According to the passage, your head is in the right position when ______.
A．you bend over your neck often
B．your ears are over your shoulders
C．you turn your neck to the other side
D．you put up more pressure on your neck
3．The last three paragraphs are mainly talking about ______.
A．how to make Text Neck apps
B．what causes Text Neck
C．how to avoid Text Neck
D．the results of Text Neck

16、I have a rule for travel: never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions.
Foreign visitors are often puzzled (迷惑的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people uselandmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market. The post offi ce is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat (平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or lowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: the measure (测量) distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” you say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. W hat happen in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answer, “I don’t know.” They think that it is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get lost in Yucatan.
One thi ng will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person’s words, by maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction.
1．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．we needn’t carry a map for travel.
B．There are not many landmarks in the American Midwest.
C．There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.
D．Americans and Japanese have different body languages when you ask for directions.
2．What does the underline d word “landmarks” mean？
A．Building names
B．Street names
C．Hotels
D．Buildings or places which are easily seen
3．How many ways of giving directions in the passage?
A．Four B．Five C．Six D．seven
4．Why does a traveler get lost in Yucatan?
A．People in Y ucatan don’t know what the traveler said, so they give a wrong answer.
B．People in Yucatan think that “I don’t know” is impolite, so they give a wrong answer.
C．People in Yucatan like making a joke, so they usually give a wrong answer.
D．People in Yucatan are bad men, so they usually give a wrong answer.
5．Which of the following is WRONG?
A．People in some places give directions in miles but people in other places give directions by means of time. B．Travelers can learn about people’s customs by asking questi ons for directions.
C．People in different places give directions in different ways.
D．A person’s body language can help you understand directions.

18、Amos Dudley, a 24-year-old boy who studies digital design at New Jersey University of Technology, felt ashamed about his teeth. But being a student, Dudley didn’t have the money to get braces(牙箍). So, he decided to
3-D print his own and marked down the DIY project in a recent blog post. His braces totaled less than $60, and after wearing them for 16 weeks, his teeth are also getting straighter.
Months ago, he mentioned on his blog that he avoided smiling for a while because he was unhappy with his teeth. However, clear braces can get pricey, costing up to $8,000. But after studying some images of these expensive clear braces, something comes up on him--they looked like that one which can come from a 3-D printer.
So he decided to hit up his school’s 3-D printing equipment and scanned and printed models of his teeth. He
then made non-harmful plastic molds (模子) around them to make 12 sets of braces.
Dudley, who does not recommend attempting any of this at home said that he didn’t ask a dentist for his project. But the student did get information from journal articles and textbooks. And though this was a perfectly
friendly choice to buy braces. He didn’t accept the project just to save money--he was also up for the challenge. “When I realized that I could do something that was a little bit special, while proving my skills as a designer
and a maker, and fixing something that was making me self-conscious for actually free, I felt it was more than worth the risk.” he said.

19、Dear students,
As we all know, hazy days have been influencing our lives a lot in recent years. That warns us of the serious air pollution. Big factories, power plants and cars all can cause air pollution. For example, chemicals in the smoke from power stations cause a lot of damage. Besides, the people's activities are also the sources of air pollution such as throwing the rubbish and smoking. What's more, the more trees are cut down, the less polluted air can absorb. Air pollution is becoming more and more serious, so we should take some measures such as planting more trees and stop factories from sending out waste air, what's more, we had better walk or take a bus. Protecting the environment is our duty. Everyone should play a part in saving the earth.。
