根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Texting(发信息)may be preferred over phone calling by many young people, but too much text messaging may increase the risk of neck or shoulder pain, a new study shows．
Judith Gold, an assistant professor of epidemiology(流行病)at Temple University’s College of Health Professions and Social Work, presented evidence at this year’s meeting of the American Public Health Association, saying that college students texted more, and they reported more pain in their necks and shoulders．She says in a news report that most people aged 18 to 21 prefer texting rather than email or phone calls． 1 “What we’ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who’ve spent most of their time at a computer,” Gold says．“The way the body is positioned for texting -- firmly fixed shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers－is similar to the position for typing on a computer．”
“ 2 It’s the age group that texts the most, so it’s important to know what the health effects may be to learn whether it will cause long-term damage,” she says in a news report．
Gold and colleagues conducted a study of 138 college students to see if relations exist between the number of text messages sent per day and pain in the upper body．They used body maps for the students to indicate areas of discomfort． 3 The number of text messages is so big that they were surprised at it．
The researchers say they found an association, only in male participants, between shoulder discomfort and the number of messages sent． 4
Why would texting cause pain in the neck and shoulder rather than the wrists and arms? “We were really surprised at this, too,” Gold tells WebMD．“Remember, this is just a beginning study． 5 ”
