Father seemed to have no hobbies but just took care of his family.

Since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

He was always interested in my life--how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.

Nine years ago I bought my first house. My lather, 67 years old, spent three days painting my house, eight hours a day. All lie asked was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy with work to take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.

Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set (秋千) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had other jobs to do.

On the Sunday morning, 16 January 1995, my father telephoned me as usual. This time seemed forgetful. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.

The call came at 4:40 a.m. which said father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately. I vowed(發(fā)誓)that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, for I owed(欠)him a nice long talk.

I arrived in Florida at 6:00 a.m., but my father had passed away hours before. This time he did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.

1.What did Father use to do at 9:00 on Sunday mornings?

_______________________________________________________________________________

2.What did Father do for me when I bought my first house?

_______________________________________________________________________________

3.Father didn't have chances to have a face-to-face talk to "me", did he?

4.What happened to Father shortly after 'T' hung up on 16 January 1995?

_______________________________________________________________________________

“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 (彎曲) 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 (壓力) 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 (曲線) 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

1.B 2.B 3.C 【解析】 本文介紹了“短信脖”的形成原因。如何在今后的生活中避免“短信脖”。 1.句義猜測題。根據(jù)句子Fishman made up the term “Text Neck” in 2008while examining a 17-year-old patient. The teen came in complaining of neck p...
