Text messaging or “Texting” 19 very popular. But,, scientists have found that texting can bring us 20 with our hands. Be careful! 21 can cause swelling (膨胀) in our thumbs (拇指). Our thumbs were not made for 22 small buttons (按 钮), over and over. Scientists call the problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor 23 Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much 24 we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending 25 than 10—15 minutes once, we could have problems in the future. As mobile phones develop, they are getting 26 with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. 27 computers and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. 28 them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the 29 of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. 30 we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.

Many people repair their own cars, build their own garages, even rebuild their own houses. Soon many of them will also be writing their own books. In Hollywood there is a company that publishes (出版) children’s books with the help of computers. Other book companies also publish that way, but this company is not like the others. This is a wonderful book that you and your child can make. In this book, your child can write (or have you write) and draw all about their family, friends, and favorite things. It allows (允许) the reader to become the main character in the stories with the help of computers. Here is how they do it. Let us suppose the child is named Jenny. She lives in New York, and has a dog named Howdy. The computer uses this information to make up a story with pictures. The story is then printed (要刷) up. A child who receives such a book might say, “This book is about me,” so the company calls itself the “Picture Me-Books Publishing Company”. Children like the picture-me-books because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important, in this way, readers are much more interested in reading the stories. Picture-Me-Books are helping a child to learn how to read. DIY is 44 these days because their pay for labor is becoming higher and higher. And the 45 calls itself “Picture Me-Books Publishing Company” What’s the difference between “Picture Me-Books Publishing Company” and other book companies? Picture Me-Books Publishing Company allows their readers to play the main 46 in the books. Why do the children like “Picture Me-Books Publishing Company”? Because they may see the 47 of their own, friends and their pets. Perhaps what does this passage tell us? Children will probably learn how to 48 their reading. 44. ________; 45. ________; 46. ________; 47. ________; 48. __________ 五、词汇（共 10 分，每小题 1 分）。 A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。 49.

As we all know helping each other is also part of our life. In public places, especially in the street, people are often seen to help the old or the disabled cross the road or go upstairs. At home, children often help their parents do some housework they can when they are free. At school, when one student has some trouble with his study or life, other classmates often offer their help. Sometimes, students always donate some money to help some classmate when he has a serious disease. When a teacher is ill or has trouble having lessons, we students will try their best to help him or her. In a word, helping each other Is meaningful for us and is making our world more wonderful.
