Chances are youll see plenty of them with their heads down, tapping the screens of their tablets or 21 on their smartphones. While these folks may be making good use of their time by staying 22 , their bodies are paying a heavy price for such convenience.As hand-held devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more common, users are reporting some new 23 problems. Florida chiropractor (脊椎按摩师) Dean Fishman began noticing an increased number of his patients 24 of neck and shoulder pain. He traced these 25 to the overuse of hand-held devices, specifically the action of bending the neck, and created the term “Text Neck.” As if the painful symptoms werent bad enough, Fishman warns that an untreated case of Text Neck could lead to 26 spinal (脊柱的) damage. He founded the Text Neck Institute in an effort to treat and educate those suffering from Text Neck. Treatments offered there include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy and exercise planning.In order to avoid or reduce the possibility of getting Text Neck, use the following basic principles:l Avoid awkward positioning. Dont strain (滥用) your neck, and stay aware of how your body is 27 in relation to the device.l Take frequent 28 when using any kind of mobile device. l When using a tablet, use a case that can back up the device at comfortable 29 angle.For those who 30 cant take their eyes off their devices, there is an ironic twist downloading a special app（应用程序）could help. Dr. Fishman has released an app called the Text Neck Indicator App, which measures the angle of your smartpphone. When the angle is appropriate, a green light appears in the upper corner of your screen. But when the angle puts you at risk for neck strain, the light turns red, obliging you to adjust your angle.第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）Zigfried, a little mouse, blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside Still nobody came Maybe today, he thought 31 It was only a few days before Christmas and he was watching for a miracle （奇迹）This farmhouse had been 32 too long It needed a family Zigfrieds 33 made a noise He realized that he hadnt eaten anything since yesterday He jumped from the windowsill （窗沿）, grabbed a 34 from his home, and went next door to Farmer MikesFarmer Mikes house had been a great place for the little mouse 35 the farmer married a wife who had a cat Zigfried 36 when he thought of it He looked around cautiously as he 37 into the room where grain was stored and was quite 38 as he filled his bag with wheat He was turning to leave when suddenly he 39 a hot breath about his ear His heart beat 40 , and without thinking he started to run and luckily 41 the cats paws （爪子）The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news: a 42 family would be moving into the farmhouse soon Zigfrieds granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to 43 with him He hoped that the family would come before his granny came Before long, a car came 44 the road leading to the house, with butter sandwiches, cheese and chocolateZigfrieds Christmas miracle did arrive!The house came 45 the next few days Zigfried 46 every single hour of them 47 , the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a 48 smile at the door of his home, he heard the 49 of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas What?

for everything shes ever accomplished Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is

the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast foodSome also blame their parentstheir genes But unfortunately, the parents are wronged
