Passage 10(2013江苏苏州常熟，C)
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?
Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very pop- ular.But,scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands.Be careful!Too much texting can cause swelling (肿胀) in our thumbs and wrists. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons,over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.
We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson,who treats many pa?tients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10— 15 minutes at once,we could have problems in the future.
We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient he had treated was a five-year- old girl.She wasnH doing well at school,so her parents took her for treatrnent.lt was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands,she couldn’t hold a pencil.
As mobile phones develop,they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and pla?ying video games can also cause the same problem.So,more and more people couldn’t find themselves with RSI.
Many university students and teenagers have RSI,as they do not know the risks (冒险) of spending so much time using computers,video games and mobile phones.If we don't do something about this,too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
1. What causes the problem RSI?
A. People make too many phone calls.
B. Texting is becoming very popular.
C. People type too many text messages.
D. Our thumbs were made for pushing buttons.
2. The little girl who Dr Harjeet Deepa treated couldn’t hold a pencil because .
A .she didn't go to school
B. she was only five years old
C. she had no thumbs at all
D. she suffered a lot from RSI You can probably read this passage in a .
A. comic strip B. story book
C. science book D. detective story
4. From the passage we know .
A. it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons
B. it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages
C. using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI
D. university students who have RSI know it's dangerous to do too much texting

They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and,of course,they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in (热市’白勺) diseases are especially useful because most of MSF^ work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task,he has to go for at least six months.
