     With big handbags becoming a key fashion accessory (配饰) for working women, health experts are
warning they can also become a key health concern.
     Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and
straps have become longer, resulting in many users complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems.
     "I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and
pick it up," said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas. "We
take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they're anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds. We're really going
to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big purse craze."
     William Case, a physical therapist (临床医生) in private practice in Houston, Texas, urged designers "to
place a cute, educational caution tag (标签) on all bags to inform buyers of potential neck and shoulder
dangers." Above all, he suggested correct posture while carrying big purses, keeping the head and shoulders
upright. Patients should also often change the size and weight of purses carried.
     "The extra-large purses are quite extraordinary. They look beautiful when the women wear them, but I
don't know how aware they are of the potential problems," Case said.
     Placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient (高效率的) ways of carrying a load,
according to a professor from Cornell University in New York State. "This causes a great imbalance," he said.
"If a big bag is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If not, then keep it light."

1. Jane Salder would"look for their purse and pick it up"in order to see whether the purses _____.

There’s a box of chocolates in the fridge. It’s been there for more than a week since I was given it as a present. I do love chocolates, but they make me fat if I eat too many! Can I control myself? If I eat one, will I have to eat all of them?
My son Harry is obsessed with playing Wii(/wi:/, 任天堂的一款游戏机) games. Sometimes, it’s difficult to get him to concentrate on his homework because he wants to play some more.
Last week I had to wake up a student in my class. I asked him why he was so tried and he said he had stayed up late to play his favourite Internet game, Farmville. He said he just couldn’t stop playing it! Now his academic work is suffering because he can’t control his urge to play games.
What my son, my student, and I myself need is simply self-control.
In the late 1960’s, American psychologist Walter Mischel launched an experiment about self-control. He left a group of four-year-olds in a room and told them that if they could wait 20 minutes, they could have two marshmallows, a kind of sweet. If they couldn’t wait, he would only give them one.
In videos of the experiment, you can see children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes—desperately trying to control themselves. Some did wait patiently, while others couldn’t wait a single minute.
Years later, the self-controlled children turned out to get higher SAT scores and got into better colleges. The children who couldn’t wait were more likely to become bullies.
So, the chocolates are still in the fridge. My son Harry is doing his homework with a promise that he can play on the Wii later, and my student says he will try harder to control himself. We all have our own temptations. But if we can control them, we will achieve more.
56. Which of the following is different from the other three?
A. The writer.                                          B. Harry.
C. The writer’s student.                             D. Walter Mischel.
57. We can know from paragraph 5 to paragraph 7 that____________.
A. all the children got two marshmallows
B. all the children waited patiently
C. self-control can help children succeed later
D. the children who lack self-control get higher SAT scores
58. Which of the following statement is true?
A. The writer is addicted to Wii.
B. The writer’s son is addicted to Farmville.
C. The writer’s student is addicted to chocolates.
D. The writer’s student is addicted to Farmville.
59. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5?
A. Something we can eat.                   B. A kind of toy.
C. A kind of mushroom.                     D. A kind of prize.
