The next time you’re riding a subway or bus, pay attention to your fellow passengers. Chances are you’ll see plenty of them with their heads down, tapping the screens of their tablets or 1 on their smartphones. While these folks may be making good use of their time by staying 2, their bodies are paying a heavy price for such convenience.

As hand-held devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more common, users are reporting some new 3 problems. Florida chiropractor (脊椎按摩师) Dean Fishman began noticing an increased number of his patients 4 of neck and shoulder pain. He traced these 5 to the overuse of hand-held devices, specifically the action of bending the neck, and created the term “Text Neck.” As if the painful symptoms weren’t bad enough, Fishman warns that an untreated case of Text Neck could lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的) damage. He founded the Text Neck Institute in an effort to treat and educate those suffering from Text Neck. Treatments offered there include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy and exercise planning.

In order to avoid or reduce the possibility of getting Text Neck, use the following basic principles:

Avoid awkward positioning. Don’t strain (滥用) your neck, and stay aware of how your body is positioned in relation to the device.

Take frequent 6 when using any kind of mobile device.

When using a tablet, use a case that can back up the device at comfortable viewing angle.

For those who simply can’t take their eyes off their devices, there is an ironic twist – downloading a special app(应用程序)could help. Dr. Fishman has released an app called the Text Neck Indicator App, which measures the angle of your smartpphone. When the angle is appropriate, a green light appears in the upper corner of your screen. But when the angle puts you at risk for neck strain, the light turns red, obliging you to adjust your angle.

How Super AreSupermarkets?
Buying eweek’s groceries is tiring. You want to get it over and done with quickly, soyou head for the nearest supermarket, you find everything you need under oneroof, and you feel glad that those days of going in and out of different shopsin the high street are over. Supermarkets seem to be a big plus. There is adownside, though.
In the UK 90%of all the food people consume is bought at 5 different supermarket chains.This makes these companies extremely powerful, which lets them use their hugebuying power to squeeze small suppliers to get the best deal. Milk is a goodexample. Supermarkets like to use things like milk, which is the top of almosteveryone’s shopping list to attract customers. To offer the lowest pricepossible to the consumer, the supermarkets force dairy farmers to sell milk atless than the cost of production. Supermarkets guarantee their good profitswhile farmers are left struggling to make ends meet, and the taxpayer pays tosupport the system without even knowing it.
It would be niceif local grocers supported local agriculture. But for the big supermarkets thisjust doesn’t make sense. Supermarkets don’t want little farmers thinking theycan decide prices. So supermarkets have started a global search for thecheapest possible agricultural produce. In many supermarkets it is difficult tofind anything which is produced locally.
UK farmersused to grow a lot of apples. Not anymore. In 1999 36% of apples were imported.By 2015 the figure had risen to 80% and the domestic production of apples hadfallen by two thirds. The consumer might just be happy to get a reasonablypriced meal made up of foods from Thailand, Spain, Italy and Zambia, but weshould also bear in mind the Influence on local producers.
Then there’spackaging. Supermarkets like everything to be packed and wrapped so it can bepiled neatly on shelves. Supermarkets produce nearly 10 million tons of wastepackaging in the UK every year, of which less 5%is recycled. Some supermarketsmake sure that large recycling bins are obvious in their car parks, showingthat they are environment-friendly. But that is just an image.
When a newsupermarket is planned there are claims about the number of new jobs that willbe created. Unfortunately, the number of jobs lost in the area is larger thanthe number of new positions in the supermarket. On average each new supermarketleads to the loss of 276 jobs.
However, themodern world is all about shopping, and the freedom to buy whatever you what,so it would be impossible to stop people shopping at some particular kind ofshop. But some measures do need to be taken when small suppliers lose profits,local producers suffer, sea levels rise and jobs are lost, anyway, we can’tjust care about a free car park and special offers.

Population Change

Why is the world's population growing?The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900,people died at the average age of 30.By 2000 the average age was 65.But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.
Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world's population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level(i.e.2.1 births per woman)and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss(especially since80% of the world's people now live in such nations),but you'd be wrong, Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.
A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply? First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble.
Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%,Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961.Why is this occurring? Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet an above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don't bend. Russia's population will be about the size of Yemen's by the year 2050.
In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total,25% of India's working-age population has no education. In 2030,a sixth of the country's potential work force could be totally uneducated.
One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010-2030,Moreover,the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.


【题目】 This photograph taken and released on Sep 28, 2018 by Indonesia’s National Agency for Disaster Management shows a house destroyed by a 7.5 magnitude () earthquake in the small town Donggala on Sulawesi Island. The quake brought down many buildings while tsunami waves hit into its beachfront. “All the things in my house were shaking and it left a small crack on my wall. Anyway, I survived!” one of the local people Mohammad Fikri said by telephone.

But the biggest killer was probably soil liquefaction (地基液化), which happens when a powerful quake turns the dry ground into a liquid mire (泥沼) and this totally destroyed several neighborhoods.

The official death reports rose to 1,948, and most of them were in Palu, the center of the Sulawesi Island. Bodies are still being dug out and the numbers from less populated areas are increasing but they seem to have suffered fewer deaths than the city. No one knows how many people are missing, especially in the areas hit by liquefaction, but it could be as high as 5,000, the National Disaster Agency said.

At a Palu middle school, fewer than 50 of its 697 students came. School principal Abdul Rashid said at least four students were killed in the quake. “Classes haven’t started. We’re only collecting data to find out how many students are safe,” he said. One boy chatting in the school with friends said he was disappointed that so few of his classmates had shown up. “I’m still waiting for the Ministry of Education to give us instructions on when to begin classes. For now, I don’t think we’re ready. Many children are so frightened that they need time to calm down.”

The government has collected $37 million to help victims of the earthquake. With the efforts of rescue workers and volunteers, the supply of gas and electricity has been recovered. Ruins would be cleared and areas hit by liquefaction would be turned into parks, gymnasiums and other public spaces, a spokesman said.
