your laptop computer with it sitting on your lap heating up your legs If so you might want to rethink that habit from now on Doing it a lot can lead to toasted skin syndrome 症状 an unusual looking spotted skin condition caused by long term heat exposure 暴露 according to medical reports In one recent case a 12 year old boy from California developed a skin discoloration on his left lap after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months He recognized 第 12 页 共 22 页 that the laptop got hot on the left side however he did not change its position Swiss researches reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics Another similar case is a Virginia law student who needed treatment for the spotted darkening on her leg Dr Kimberley Salkey who treated the young woman learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer placed on her lap As Dr Salkey later learnt the temperature under the laptop could reach 51 degrees That case from 2007 is one of 10 laptop related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years The condition can also be caused by overuse of heating pads 垫子 and other heat sources that usually aren t hot enough to cause burns It s generally harmless but can also cause such permanent 永久的 skin darkening In very rare cases it can cause damage leading to skin cancers said the Swiss researchers Drs Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel They do not mention any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use but suggest to be safe placing a carrying case under the laptop if you have to hold it on your lap Dr Kimberley Salkey said that under the microscope the affected skin is similar to skin damaged by long term sun exposure Major producers including Apple and Dell warn against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for long periods of time because of the risks for burns In the past toasted skin syndrome has happened to workers whose jobs require being close to a heat source including bakers and glass blowers and in people who gathered near hot stoves to stay warm Dr Anthony J Mancini chief at Children s Memorial Hospital in Chicago said that it s unlikely that computer use would lead to cancer since it s so easy to avoid close skin contact 接 触 with laptops 1 According to the passage toasted skin syndrome can be caused by all the following EXCEPT A being close to a heat source or hot stoves B long period of direct contact to hot laptop C using one s laptop with a carrying case 第 13 页 共 22 页 D overuse of heating pad and other heat sources 2 The underlined word discoloration in the 2nd paragraph refers to A spot B darkening C sunburn D heat 3 It can be learnt from the passage that laptop users A should avoid close skin contact with laptops B are likely to
