　　Thumbs Down to Texting (屈指發(fā)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 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 RSI. 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.

　　Passage 1

　　The internet was designed in 1973, so in this case it’s 35 years old. But it wasn’t put into use until 1983, which means it’s 26 years old. On the other hand, it wasn’t available to the general public until 1994, which means it may be 15 years old. And many of the public, especially here in China might not have had any contact with it except in the last decade. So it’s still kind of a teenage in most of the world, and it’s still growing up, and still trying to decide what it wants to become. It’s very hard to predict how the internet is going to be, because it’s changed by the very people who use it.
