5.Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes-named Square Eyes-contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day.A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television,and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves,based on the day's efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers,says Gillian Swan,who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London,UK."We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,"she says."And I wanted to tackle that with my design."
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise,the television automatically switches off.And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both.Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television.So,every 100steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers(計(jì)步器)normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement.Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking.But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat."It is possible,but it would be a lot of effort,"she says."That was one of my main design considerations."

33.Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?C
A.They contain information of the receiver.
B.They have raised the hot issue of overweight.
C.They regulate a child's evening TV viewing time.
D.They determine a child's daily pocket money.
34.What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?D
A.The way of changing steps into TV watching time.
B.The exact number of steps to be taken.
C.The precise number of hours spent on TV.
D.The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.
35.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?B
A.Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight
B.Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time
C.Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise
D.Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise.

Make sure your chair is the right height and size for you and the desk you use.Your desk should be at about the same level as your elbows when you are sitting down.Chairs with armrests are good because they allow you to rest your arms.Do not lean forward over the keyboard towards the screen because this is bad for your back.Sit upright,with your feet touching the ground and your back resting on the back of the chair.Doing these things will help you prevent back-related problems such as pain in your neck,shoulders and arms.
Take care of your wrists and hands
Using a keyboard and a mouse can put pressure on your wrists and hands if it is not done properly.When you type,try to make sure your fingers are relaxed.You should hit the keys softly and hold the mouse gently.Mouse mats that come with soft material to support your wrist are really good too.Pain in the hands and wrists is very common among people who use computers a lot,so make sure you use your mouse and keyboard in the right way.
Take care of your eyes
Your eyes are very important and it is necessary to take care of them.You should give them regular breaks from staring at the computer screen.Every fifteen minutes,rest your eye muscles by looking away from the screen at something far away.Make sure that the top of your monitor is at eye level and that your monitor is about an arm's length away from you.
Take a break
It is important that you do not sit at a computer for too long.No matter how busy you are,try to take regular breaks from your desk.Stand up,go for a short walk or even do some stretching exercises.You should take a short break at least once an hour,and you should try to do some stretching exercises every two hours.By following all these tips,you will not feel so tired after using your computer for a long time.
