When we press small buttons over and over again, we may have a disease called RSI. RSI is short for Repetitive Strain Injury (重复性力损伤).
Harriet Wilson is a doctor. She has many patients with RSI.  【小题2】  If we spend more than 10 to 15 minutes every day, we could have such problems in the future.

Not only women wear skirts. Men can wear them, too. In Scotland (苏格兰), men wear a kilt – a kind of skirt. The kilt is their national dress.
The kilt has checks (方格) and different colors, like red or blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors. How did the Scotsmen (苏格兰男人) start to wear kilts. There is a story about it. Rawlinson had some workers from Scotland in his office and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their clothes into a shorter skirt.
Today, they usually only wear them at weddings (婚礼) or big dinners. Only a few men wear a kilt every day. Scotsmen also wear kilts in big parties. The policemen still have skills as the dress uniforms, but they don’t wear them to catch the thieves.
【小题1】 A kilt is ______.

There was once a bad king, all his people hated him very much. One day in a summer he was swimming by himself in a river.The king was a good swimmer, but while he was in the middle of the river, he was ill. He cried out “Help! Help!” At that time two farmers were working in the field near the river. They ran over, jumped into the water and saved the king. They didn’t know that he was the king until they pulled him out of the water.
The king was very happy, so he said to the farmers, “You have saved my life. Now you may ask for anything, and I’ll give it to you.”
One of the farmers said, “My son broke his leg last week, and he can’t walk. Please send him a good doctor.” The king agreed. Then he said to the other farmer. “And what can I do for you, old man?” The old man was very clever. He thought for a few minutes and then he answered, “You can do a very important thing for me.”“What’s that?” asked the king. He thought that the old man would ask for some money or something else.
“Don’t tell anybody that we have saved you,” the old farmer answered.
