Question

When you think of all the ways your body can get hurt---falling off a bike, stepping on a nail, being bitten by a crazed dog---the aches and pains that come from sitting at a computer may not seem like much.

But more doctors are getting worried about just that. If you sit at a PC the wrong way, the nerves and muscles in your back, neck and arms can get out of line.

Ergonomics is the study of how people work and how jobs and equipment can be designed so that people are safer and more comfortable in the things they do---whether that’s working on a factory assembly line or sitting in front of a computer.

The monitor

You should not have to tilt（傾斜） your neck up or down to lock at the screen. Your eyes should be level with the top of the screen.

How far away should you sit? Reach your arm out so your fingertips just touch the screen.

The keyboard

It should be directly in front of you. Don’t unfold the legs on the bottom of the keyboard so that it tilts up toward you---it should be as flat as possible, or even tilted away from you. You want your wrists “neutral,” which means straight, not bent. This puts less strain on your nerves and muscles.

Arms should be close to the body. Don’t look at your fingers as you type. Use a document holder to hold papers at the same level as the monitor. Keep the mouse on the same level as the keyboard and close by--- so you don’t have to reach for it.

The chair

Your feet shouldn’t dangle---the blood will pool in your feet. They should rest flat on the floor, or on phone books, if necessary. Your back needs support. Roll up a towel and stick it there.

The Body

If you think of your body as a collection of right angles when you sit at a computer, you should be just fine.

Your hips should be at a 90-degree angle to your back. That takes the pressure off the spine. And your knees should bend at a 90 degree angle so your feet are flat.

A．As high as your arms.

2.B 推理題。根據(jù)本句Ergonomics is the study of how people work and how jobs and equipment can be designed so that people are safer and more comfortable in the things they do---whether that’s working on a factory assembly line or sitting in front of a computer.說明該詞是指學(xué)習(xí)在工作或者學(xué)習(xí)中如何讓人們舒服安全。故應(yīng)該是人體工程學(xué)的內(nèi)容，B正確。

3.D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)You should not have to tilt（傾斜） your neck up or down to lock at the screen. Your eyes should be level with the top of the screen.說明顯示器要和你的眼睛同樣水平的高度，故D正確。
