Texting long messages can be a pain in the neck．The repetitive action of working your fingers across the number pad of your cell phone can cause some of the same chronic(慢性的) pain problems previously limited to those who’d spent a lifetime typing．
The possible connection is particularly worrying considering how much teens and young adults—and increasingly those in professional settings—are texting nowadays, said Judith Gold, who carried out one of the first studies on the potential connection．
Text messaging is a fairly new technology, Gold says, so this is a new area of research for those who study ergonomics(人类工程学)．But “considering the similarities in body position, findings from research on overuse injuries from computers could be applicable” to texting．
“The way the body is positioned for texting—fixed shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers —is similar to the position for typing on a computer,” Gold explained．Previous research has found pain in the elbow connected with too much thumb texting．
To look for a broader link between texting and chronic pain, Gold and her colleagues sent a questionnaire to 138 college students asking them to report the number of text messages they sent per day (in four categories: 0, 1-10, 11-20, 21+ messages) and to point out any discomfort they felt on a body map．
The research showed an association between number of text messages sent per day and shoulder discomfort．The effect seemed to be particularly pronounced in males, though Gold says she doesn’t know why that would be．
B．Reduce harmful human activities． D．Improve the quality of weather．
“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 said．However, Gold’s study did not take account of the amount of time the people surveyed also spent typing on computers, which could be affecting the results．
71．In the past, who usually suffered from a pain in the neck according to the passage?

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，请根据短文后的要求进行答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求） I am often teased about my habit of traveling by foot．I often walk 3 miles home from work rather than take the subway when I visit some cities, kindhearted motorists regularly pull over and ______, supposing that my car has broken down or I’m in need of some help．
But for me, walking is a good opportunity to process the day and let my mind wander without the endless to-do things．Plus, it helps my back recover from a day spent bent in front of a computer screen．I have always assumed I'd have the last laugh, and now there's even more evidence on my side．
A study has found that the simple act of walking may improve memory in old age．As we age, our brains shrink and the shrinkage is associated with dementia (痴呆) and loss of cognitive functions such as memory．To test whether physical activity could mitigate some of these degenerative （退化）effects, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh tracked the physical activity of 299 healthy men and women with an average age of 78．The participants' activity ranged anywhere from walking 0 blocks to 300 blocks per week．
Nine years later, the walkers underwent brain scans, which revealed that those who had walked more had greater brain volume than those who walked less．Four years after that, the volunteers were tested again — this time for dementia．Among the group, 116 people showed signs of memory loss or dementia．Those who had walked the most — at least 72 city blocks each week — were half as likely to have problems with memory as those who walked the least． The findings are in line with past studies linking physical activity with brain function, but dementia experts say there's not enough data yet to prescribe exercise to prevent memory loss．It's also too soon to say whether exercise may prevent dementia or simply delay it in people who would eventually develop it anyway．But when it comes to Alzheimer's, even a short delay could mean great gains in quality of life．
