Typing(打字) is one of the most important and basic work skills of the 21st century. Because mobile phones are now so popular, there is a new kind of typing-thumbing. Thumbing means people use one or more thumbs(拇指) to touch the keys.

Most people can type between 20 and 35 words a minute. Some typists, however, can work very quickly, at more than 110 words a minute. And people’s left hand usually does 56 percent of the typing.

The most common international English keyboard is QWERTY. People name it after the first letters on the top left side of the keyboard. It is more than 140 years old. Other keyboards include QWERTZ (in Central Europe) and AZERTY (used by most French speakers in Europe). Countries with non-Roman alphabets(字母系统), such as, Arabia, Russia or Japan, have their own keyboards.

People practise the sentence ”The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” to make their typing better. That’s because it uses every letter of the English alphabet.

Thumbing and typing can hurt you. RSI (repetitive strain injury) is the name of a medical condition you get if you type too much. However, most people do not understand what RSI is or how serious it can be. Anyone who uses a computer a lot is at risk and should know about RSI.

Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer who would go from farm to farm training horses. Once when he was a senior school student, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

That night he wrote a seven-page paper talking about his goal of someday owning a horse ranch(养马场). He wrote about his dream and he even drew a plan for a large ranch.

The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”

The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “I can’t give you a good grade. There’s no way you could ever realize your dream! You have no money! You come from a poor family! Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money!”

The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Now, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”

Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”

Twenty years later, that same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on Monty’s ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now.
