A
(2013·永州模拟) Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain microorganisms(微生物)cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans and mushrooms.
When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.

Texting long messages can be a pain in the neck.
The repetitive action of working your fingers across the keypad of your cellphone 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 the number of text messages sent per day and shoulders discomfort. The effect seemed to be
particularly pronounced in males, though Gold says she doesn’t know why that would be.
“W hat 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.
6. In the past, who usually suffered from a pain in the neck according to the passage?
A. A writer.
B. A typist.
C. A teacher.
D. A doctor.
7. The underlined word“that”in Paragraph 6 ref ers to the fact that.
A. office workers easily suffer from body discomfort
B. men like to text messages more
C. text messaging causes body discomfort
D. males have more shoulder discomfort
8. The passage mainly tells us.
A. what ergonomics is
B. texting too much causes a pain in the neck
C. whether texting is beneficial or not
D. the connection between texting and typing
9. It can be inferred from the passage that.
A. the study was the first one carried out by Gold
B. one positions oneself differently from computer-users when texting
C. the amount of computer-use time was calculated in the survey
D. the result of the survey was not 100% convincing
10. In which column in the newspaper can you find the passage?
A. Fashion.
B. Education.
C. Health.
D. Entertainment.
