C
The world record for fastest text message typing is held by a 21-year-old college student from Utah, but his flexible fingers could mean serious injury later on. Most adults aged 18-21 prefer texting over e-mail or phone calls, and ergonomics(人體工程學(xué)) researchers are starting to wonder whether it’s putting the younger generation at risk for some overuse injuries – once reserved for older adults who have spent years in front of a computer. Judith Gold, an assistant professor of Epidemiology at the College of Health Professions and Social Work, thinks this might be the case. At this year’s annual meeting of the American Public Health Association, she presented previous research which suggested that among college students, the more they texted, the more pain they had in their neck and shoulders.
“What we’ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who’ve spent most of their time at a computer,” said Gold, who directs the Ergonomics and Work Physiology Laboratory. “The way the body is positioned for texting – stationary（不動(dòng)的）shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers – is similar to the position for typing on a computer.”
Text messaging is a fairly new technology, Gold says, so this is a new area of research among ergonomists. “But given the similarities in body position, findings from research on overuse injuries from computers could be applied here,” she said.
Current studies on computer use show office workers have the tendency to get involved in such diseases as tunnel syndrome, bursitis, and tendonitis.
In Gold’s lab, she and her team use tools like special cameras, motion analysis and heart rate monitors to study the body’s position in several job-related situations. But given the popularity of text messaging among young adults, Gold wants to explore further into the physiological effects of this latest form of communication.
“Looking around our campus, you see every student on their cell phones, typing away,” she said. “It’s the age group that texts the most, so it’s important to know what the health effects may be in order to learn whether it will cause long term damage.”
64. Which of the following are ergonomics researchers not sure about?
A. A 21-year-old college student holds the world record for fastest text message typing.
B. Most adults aged 18-21 prefer texting over e-mail or phone calls.
C. Overuse of computer will cause injuries to health.
D. Over text message will cause long term damage to health.
65. Current studies on computer use will lead people to believe that ______.
A. office workers are good at texting messages
B. office workers tend to suffer from some kinds of physical problems
C. texting messages seriously damage people’s health
D. e-mails and phone calls will be forbidden
66. When texting messages, college students will ______.
A. keep moving shoulders and back
B. move fingers very fast with shoulders and back still
C. spend most of their time at a computer
D. look around their campus
67. The most suitable title of this passage may be ______.
A. Over text messaging could cause shoulder and neck pain
B. Overuse of computers could cause diseases
C. A new world record for fastest text message typing
D. A new scientific discovery by ergonomics researchers

An 18-year-old student has won a local election to become mayor of his hometown in the US state of Michigan. Michael Sessions won by the slenderest of margins - just two votes put him ahead of his only rival, the incumbent 51-year-old mayor. Mr. Sessions attributed his electoral success to the votes cast by his parents. He will now have to juggle schedules between attending school and fulfilling his civic duties. He will attend his school classes between 8am to 3pm and carry out his new job as the elected mayor of Hillsdale before dinner at 6pm. He aims to deliver on his campaign pledges of increasing the contingent (小分隊(duì)) of full-time fire-fighters from three to four, revitalizing (使恢復(fù)元?dú)? the local economy and enabling townsfolk to air their views and grievances on town life.
Mr. Sessions was too young to enter the election when it was first announced – he turned 18 only in September, which meant he had just four weeks of campaigning. Although he is the youngest elected official in America, he cannot celebrate his success with champagne because he would be arrested for underage drinking. He ran for office with a budget of $700, which he made from his summer job of selling toffee apples. His position is largely ceremonial and he will not get his own office. Instead, he will receive an annual stipend of $3,600 to cover basic expenses. He starts his four-year position on November 21. Mr. Sessions has become an overnight celebrity since his victory and has already done the circuit of television chat show interviews.
1. When did the election probably take place?
A. August.        B. September.         C. October.       D. December.
2. How long will Mr. Sessions be the mayor of Michigan State?
A. One year.           B. Two years.         C. Four years.     D. Not mentioned.
3. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. Mr. Sessions won the election by two votes.
B. Mr. Sessions had many competitors during the election.
C. The new mayor will get an office after the election.
D. The new mayor doesn’t have to attend the school any more.

Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:
1．Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.
2．Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
3．Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions, Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.
4．       . Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.
5．Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively（過(guò)分地）about a single test.
There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your studying habits will improve your grades.
1．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
If you fail an exam, don’t let it trouble you too much.

第二節(jié)信息匹配（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）
請(qǐng)閱讀下列相關(guān)信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡上將對(duì)應(yīng)題號(hào)的相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)字母涂黑。
以下是幾種舞蹈的介紹：
A, Ballroom dancing
Although mainly popular in Latin America, it is now gaining quite a following all over the world.  Examples of the are the cha-cha, tango and foxtrot. Although you're basically required to master the fundamental steps, freestyle dancing is accepted and even encouraged for intermediate  (中級(jí)的)  and professional dancers.
B. Jazz
It is described as the dance that has almost all forms of dancing. It requires flexibility and grace. It emphasizes all nuances (細(xì)微差別) of body movement, so dancers are generally encouraged to wear tight fitting clothes to ensure that not even the smallest shift of the body will go unnoticed。
C. Aerobics
Technically, it's not a dance but since it still involves body movement and rhythm, let's put it in the list all the same. Aerobics is more suited to those who need to exercise but are easily bored by the more common workouts like jogging or sweating on the treadmill. Aerobics is also a good stepping stone for the more demanding forms of dancing because it improves your coordination.
D. Ballet
Lithe, flexible, graceful, elegant, poised ( 平衡的) － if you're not all of those then you shouldn't choose it. In ballet, each movement is an expression of a specific emotion so it must be done precisely and without flaw. As a rifle, ballet dancers should also be small and slender.
E. Hip Hop
It is the most popular form of dancing of today's time, thanks to stars like Jennifer Lopez and Nelly. Hip hop is also known as street grooves and preferred by but not limited to teenagers and young adults because of its choreography (舞蹈設(shè)計(jì)). Hip hop is a good and fun place to start for amateurs.
F. Belly
Want to make your guy admire and gain a sexy belly at the same time? Then this Eastern dance is the answer to all your problems. Although all the shaking and bending can be somewhat exhausting, just remind yourself of your objectives and you'll be A-okay.
請(qǐng)閱讀以下人物的信息，然后為他們匹配合適的舞蹈。
56. Mark is a young and creative schoolboy, who is an amateur of dancing. But he just enjoys the dancing which can help him express himself freely with his self-designed steps, When he shows his dance to others, he will feel very happy and proud.
57. Roy is a little fat. He tried to do some exercise to lose weight. But he felt bored when jogging.  So he wants to find a new way, which can not only help him keep fit but also lay the base for learning some forms of dancing.
58. Claudia is a dance lover, who likes all kinds of dances. She has learned dancing for six months and has mastered some basic steps. Now she wants to improve her dancing skills and learn two kinds of Latin American dances.
59. Alice is a graceful and slim young girl, who has a good sense of balance. She hopes she could be a great dancer when she grows up. So now she is planning to choose a kind of dance that is suitable for her.
60. Joan often went out for fun with her friends, but now she isn't willing to do that because of her slightly protruding (突出的) belly. In order to be sexy and slim again, she'll try a kind of dance so that she can regain her confidence.
