Modern life, with its emphasis on information, automation, computerization, and globalization, has made work easier and given us more leisure options, but we now have a whole host of new health problems. Only time will tell if these modern health problems disappear like 8-track tapes and rotary phones. Until then, here are some of the new maladies we have in store for us.If you spend all day staring at a computer screen, you may be at risk for computer vision syndrome (CVS), also called occupational asthenopia(弱视的). CVS encompasses all eye or vision-related problems suffered by people who spend a lot of time on computers. According to the American Optometric Association, symptoms of CVS include headaches; dry, red, or burning eyes; blurred or double vision; trouble focusing; difficulty distinguishing colors; sensitivity to light; end even pain in the neck or back. As many as 75 percent of computer users have symptoms of CVS due to glare, poor lighting, and improper workstation setup. To overcome CVS, keep your monitor about two feet away from you and six inches. below eye level, and be sure it’s directly in front of yon to minimize eye movement. Adjust lighting to, remove any glare or reflections. You can also adjust the brightness on your monitor to ease eyestrain. Even simple steps can help, like looking away from your monitor every 20 or 30 minutes and focusing on something farther away. And you can always use eyedrops to perk up your peepers! Earbuds are the headphones used with many digital music players. They fit inside the ear but don’t cancel out background noise, requiring users to turn up the volume, often to 110 to 120 decibels--loud enough to cause hearing loss after only an hour end 15 minutes. And today, people spend much more time listening to their portable players, exposing themselves to damaging noise for longer periods of time. As a result, young people are developing the type of heating loss normally seen in much older adults. Experts recommend turning down the volume and limiting die amount of time spent listening to music players to about an hour a day. Headphones that fit outside the ear canal also help, as can noise-canceling headphones that reduce background noise so listeners don’t have to crank up the volume. This condition is related to deep vein thrombosis(血栓症), where blood clots form in deep veins, such as those in the legs. These clots can be fatal if they migrate to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. Clots can form when blood supply slows or stops, such as in a period of prolonged immobility. Similarly, e-thrombosis is the development of clots in the deep veins of someone who spends long amounts of time in front of a computer without moving. Although only a handful of e-thrombosis cases have been reported, millions of people who spend most of their time in front of a computer are at risk. Avoiding e-thrombosis is simple: stand up and move around every hour, tap your toes while you work, put equipment end supplies in different parts of your work area so you have to move to get them, don’t cross your legs while sitting at your desk, don’t spend your lunch break at your desk (go for a quick walk instead), and don’t get too comfortable --if your workspace is ultra-cozy, you won’t want to get up. We all have worries, uncertainties, and fears, but generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is excessive or unrealistic unease or concern about life’s problems. Although the disorder often manifests without any specific cause, large issues of modern life (such as terrorism, the economy, and crime) can bring it about, as can individual circumstances like dealing with an illness. GAD affects about 6.8 million people in the United States, and symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, irritability, impatience, difficulty concentrating, headaches, upset stomach, and shortness of breath. Anxiety disorders like GAD are treated with antianxiety drugs, antidepressants, psychotherapy, or a combination of these. It seems like every day there’s a new report about something you shouldn’t eat. The constant bombardment of information about food end health can confuse anyone, but for people who have the eating disorder orthorexia nervusa, it can be downright dangerous. People with this condition are, obsessed with eating healthful food and have constructed strict diets that they follow religiously. Although many people who have orthorexia nervosa become underweight, thinness is not their goal--nutritional purity is. Among the signs of orth0rexia nervosa are spending more than three hours a day thinking about healthful food; planning meals days in advance; feeling virtuous from following a strict healthful diet, but not enjoying eating; feeling socially isolated (such strict diets make it bard to eat anywhere but at home); and feeling highly, critical of those who do not follow a similar diet. Although the psychiatric community does not officially recognize orthorexia nervosa as a disorder, those with the condition benefit from psychological treatment and sessions with eating-disorder specialists. Rising energy costs aren’t just harmful to your wallet; if you work in an office building, they could be making you physically ill. Businesses have found that by packing buildings with insulation then adding caulking and weather stripping,. they can seal buildings tight, keep indoor temperatures constant, and cut energy costs in the process. Such measures require the healing, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to work harder to recycle air. After all, when the building is sealed, you can’t open a window to let fresh air circulate. The result is sick building syndrome, which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies as a situation where building occupants experience discomforting health effects even though no specific cause can be found. Symptoms include headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness; nausea; fatigue; and sensitivity to odors. The EPA estimates that 30 percent of all U.S. office buildings could be "sick," so they recommend routine maintenance of HVAC systems, including cleaning or replacing filters; replacing water-stained ceiling tiles and carpeting; restricting smoking in and around buildings; and ventilating areas where paints, adhesives, or solvents are used. Despite all the ways to interact with others in our technologically savvy world, those with social anxiety disorder feel boxed in by the shrinking globe. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), people with social anxiety disorder have an "intense, persistent, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others and of doing things that will embarrass them," and that fear can be so intense that it interferes with work, school, and other ordinary activities end can make it hard to make and keep friends. But the condition has physical manifestations, too, including trembling, upset stomach, heart palpitations, confusion, and diarrhea. The cause hasn’t been nailed down, but social anxiety disorder is probably due to a combination of environmental and hereditary factors. About 15 million people in the United States are affected by social anxiety disorder, winch .usually begins during childhood. Like other anxiety disorders, treatment often involves medication and psychotherapy.How to avoid e-thrombosis according to the passage A．By crossing your legs while sitting.B．By keeping a comfortable posture.C．By keeping supplies convenient for getting.D．By moving around every hour.

A UK supermarket has become the first in the world to let shoppers pay for groceries using just the veins in their fingertips. Customers at the Costcutter store, at Brunei University in London, can now pay using their unique vein pattern to identify themselves. The firm behind the technology, Sthaler, has said it is in "serious talks" with other major UK supermarkets to adopt hi-tech finger vein scanners at pay points across thousands of stores. It works by using infrared (红外线) to scan people’s finger veins and then links this unique biometric (生物特征识别的) map to their bank cards. Customers’ bank details are then stored with payment provider Worldpay, in the same way you can store your card details when shopping online. Shoppers can then turn up to the supermarket with nothing on them but their own hands and use it to make payments in just three seconds. It comes as previous studies have found fingerprint recognition, used widely on mobile phones, is vulnerable to being hacked and can be copied even from finger smears left on phone screens. But Sthaler claims vein technology is the most secure biometric identification method as it cannot be copied or stolen. Sthaler said dozens of students were already using the system and it expected 3,000 students out of 13,000 to have signed up by November. Vein scanners are also used as a way of accessing high-security UK police buildings and authorising internal trading at least one major British investment bank. The firm is also in discussions with nightclubs, gyms about using the technology to verify membership and even Premier League football clubs to check people have the right access to VIP hospitality areas. The technology uses an infrared light to create a detailed map of the vein pattern in your finger. It requires the person to be alive, meaning in the unlikely event a criminal hacks off someone’s finger, it would not work. Sthaler said it takes just one minute to sign up to the system initially and, after that, it takes just seconds to place your finger in a scanner each time you reach the supermarket checkout. Simon Binns, commercial director of Sthaler, told the Daily Telegraph: "This makes payments so much easier for customers. They don’t need to carry cash or cards. They don’t need to remember a pin number. You just bring yourself. This is the safest form of biometrics. There are no known incidences where this security has been breached. When you put your finger in the scanner it checks you are alive, it checks for a pulse, and it checks for haemoglobin (血红蛋白). Your vein pattern is secure because it is kept on a database in an encrypted form, as binary numbers. No card details are stored with the retailer or ourselves, it is held with Worldpay, in the same way it is when you buy online. "1、It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that______.A.the Costcutter store offers finger vein payment in the world firstB.there are no two identical fingerprints in the worldC.Sthaler has spread its finger vein recognition technology to the overseas marketD.customers have their finger veins scanned at the checkout in British supermarkets2、Making payments with the finger vein scanners in physical stores and submitting payments online______.E.show the difference in how to link to shoppers’ bank cardsF.choose the same storage location for users’ bank detailsG.yield the same better-than-expected resultsH.differ in the degree of difficulty in the payment process3、Fingerprint identification technology is______.I.widely applied in communicationJ.most exposed to cyber attacksK.likely to be duplicated from finger marksL.the safest biometric recognition way4、The finger vein scanners are already used to authenticate users to get into______.M.universitiesN.police stationsO.investment banksP.VIP sections5、As to the technology developed by his company, Simon Binns pointed out that______.Q.there was no use paying with someone else’s fingerR.customers didn’t have to waste energy memorizing ID numbersS.no severe safety accidents arose in its systemT.neither Sthaler nor the sellers preserved customers’ card details

In large cities, for instance, London, and crowded places such as airports and stations, there is the risk of theft. We don’t want you to suffer the distress of losing important documents and valuables as soon as you step on Britain soil, so there are some important do’s and don’ts. Don’t carry more cash than you need for daily expenses. If you stay at a hotel, do ask the manager to keep large sums of cash, documents and valuables in the hotel safe and give you a receipt for them. This is a free service. If cash is stolen, it is very unlikely to be recovered. Do keep separately a note of the serial numbers on your traveler’s checks, so if they are lost you can inform your bank. Do take particular care of bank and credit cards. If you don’t want to carry heavy luggage around with you, you can leave it in a luggage office at most large stations and pick it up later. Keep the receipt so that you can reclaim your luggage. Check the opening hours or you may find your luggage locked away when you need it gain. If you lose any of your luggage in transit, take this up immediately with the officials of the airline or shipping line, but don’t worry too much: 98 % is found within three days. If you lose anything, go first to the Lost Property Office at the airport or station, as it may have been found and handed in. If you lose your luggage in the street, or suspect it has been stolen rather than gone away, find the nearest policeman who will advise you what to do. 1. What’s the purpose of the speaker’s remarks? 2. What does the speaker say about the do’s when staying in the hotel? 3. What should a traveler do if he loses something at the station? 1 A To warn travelers to take care of their belongings. B To tell travelers how to find their lost luggage. C To provide information about hotels and stations in London. D To advise travelers about how to look after their belongings. 2 A Let the hotel take care of valuable things. B Take cash, credit cards along with you wherever you go. C If something is lost in the hotel, report it to the police. D Tell the serial numbers on the traveler’s checks to the hotel manager. 3 A Go to the luggage office. B Go to the nearest police station. C Report it to the officials of the station. D Go to the Lost Property Office at the station.

Passage Two Don’t automatically blame mom: A crying baby can be just as much the result of dad’s state of mind, Dutch researchers report. Other studies have found that depression among mothers can be related to excessive crying, a common problem with newborns, but the researchers said that little was known about whether fathers’ emotions and behavior also have an effect. "Up to now, almost all attention went to the (出生以前的)effects of motherly depression on child development, leading to the development of detection and treatment programs that focused on mental well-being of mothers." said lead researcher Dr. Mike Berg, a (精神病医生)at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. "This study showed the importance of taking paternal factors and well-being during pregnancy into account, next to motherly factors," she said. Bergs team gathered data on symptoms of depression among parents of 4,426 infants who were two months old. Overall, just 2.5% of the infants in the study fit the excessive crying criteria. But, the researchers found a 30% higher risk for depression among parents whose infant cried excessively. "This finding could not be attributed to co-existing depressive symptoms of the mother, which is already known to be a risk factor for excessive infant crying" Berg said. It could be related to genetics, a depressed father or, indirectly, through factors such as marital, family or economic stress, she said. In fact, a dad with symptoms of depression was twice as likely to have an infant who cried excessively as was a dad not depressed, the study found. "Fathers do matter, so care for the mental well-being of fathers during pregnancy" Berg said. Dr. Jon Shaw, a professor and director of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Miami, said that the study shows how depression can lead to infant’s excessive crying. "This seems to be related perhaps to the enduring effects of fathers’ depression on the family atmosphere, the parental relationship, child (抚养)and, perhaps as the authors suggest, there may be a genetic factor involved" he said.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true A. Babies whose parents are not in depression will not cry.B. Genetic factors might affect the mental health of infants.C. Most newborns, especially 2-month-olds, will cry excessively.D. A happy daddy will reduce the risk of their kids’ getting mental illness.
