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 ”

C.That can possibly put the younger generation at increased risk for overuse injuries.
D.Further research needs to be done to confirm the results.
E.Texting has become a major form of communication.

In 1990 a report was published about what the earth might be like 20 years from then on. 71 According to the report,the picture of the earth in the year 2010 is not a pleasant one. 72 The population could be as large as 6300 million,almost 2150 million more than in 1985.More people would move into cities ,especially cities in developing countries.Cities like Cairo and Jakarta probably would each have 15 million by then.
73 Farmers will grow 90% more food than they did in 1985,but most of the increase would be in countries that already produce enough food for their people. 74 Poor farming ways are destroying large areas of crop land,changing farms into deserts.More farmland is lost as cities become larger and more houses are built.Air pollution will get worse as industrial countries burn more coal and oil.Many of the world's forests could disappear as more and more trees are cut down.Energy will continue to be a serious problem. 75 They only workde out the situation that exists today.By changing the situation,by settling the problems,the picture can be changed.There is still time for the nations of the world to work out a plan of action.But they warned that waiting too long to make de cisions would greatly reduce the chances of success.
