10．Long ago a Native American chief named Shenandoah lived with his tribes（部落） in what is now the state of Virginia．Little is known about Shenandoah，but in some way，the soft sound of his name was given to a river．The Shenandoah River still flows in a deep valley between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains，just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived．It is a slow moving river，soft and as beautiful as its name．Some word experts who believe the word"Shenandoah"means"spruce river"because the waters of the river run through great forests of spruce trees（云杉）．And this explanation could be correct．
However，there is an old Native American story which is far more beautiful than that of the experts．Centuries before Europeans came to the New World，there was a great lake of blue water hidden in the mountains of Virginia．For hundreds of years，Native American tribes lived near this lake，feeding on the fish from its clean waters．The Native Americans often climbed up the mountains and camped there during their long hunts for food．In the evenings they sat near their camp and looked down at the beautiful lake．
On a clear，starry night you could see thousands of stars shining and dancing on the water below．The Native Americans loved this lake，and because they could see the stars in it，they called the lake，"Clear Daughter of the Stars．"In their language，the word for this was"Shenandoah．"
One day the lake started to disappear．Its water ran out of the valley，through a break in the mountain side．The waters ran on and on until they joined another river known as the Potomac．At last，the lake was gone．In its place was only a river．It is the beautiful Shenandoah River today．
However，the word Shenandoah becomes well known to people because someone wrote a song about it some years ago．"Shenandoah"is perhaps one of America's most recognizable folk songs．Some say the song refers to the river．Others say it is about the daughter of Chief Shenandoah．Regardless of what the song is about，"Shenandoah"remains an American classic．"O Shenandoah，I love your daughter，Away you rolling river； O Shenandoah，I love your daughter，Away I'm bound to go，'Cross the wide Missouri …"

5．Dr．Michael Prager，a leading Botox expert，said that a growing number of women are developing something called"computer face"．He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（颚骨），"turkey neck"and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes．
The Botox expert said that，of all his clients，office workers were most likely to show premature （过早的）signs of aging．"If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皱眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then，over time，you will inevitably end up with frown lines．''Dr．Prager said．"What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long．If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy，eventually giving you a second neck．"
Dr．Prager，who has a practice near Harley Street in London，said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen．"When people are stressed or thinking hard about something，then they will often put on a‘grumpy（脾气暴躁的）face'without even knowing what they are doing．When my clients put a mirror next to their desk，they are often shocked by the angry，frowning face which stares back at them．"
He said，"The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so．But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task．I think the problem is going to become much，much worse．In another ten years，they could be looking quite awful．"
Dr．Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid"computer face"such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles．And，of course，there was always Botox．He said that，after a couple of sessions of Botox，the habit of"grumpy face"could be broken．
