必修四 Unit 5 课下语篇提能练.阅读理解(2019南宁高三毕业班联考)When we do the same movements with our bodies over and over again, we overuse some muscles. And the overuse can lead to strain (压力) and injury. Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports. But there is another cause of muscle problems: handheld technology devices.Staring down at your phone or tablet for long periods of time puts great tension on your neck. Experts say this posture puts strain on the entire upper body. Muscle strain linked to handheld technology has become such a common condition that it now has a name: tech_neck.Common symptoms of tech neck are neck pain, loss of feelings in your hands and fingers, headaches both mild and severe and poor posture. In the worst cases of tech neck, you can lose the strength of your hands and fingers.You can take simple steps to improve tech neck. Take breaks from using your technology. Stand up and stretch your legs often. Also, give your eyes a break by closing them now and then throughout the day. Do neck exercises. Experts at the website Spine Universe recommend these three neck stretches.1Chin (下巴) StretchMove your chin towards your chest. Hold for 5 seconds. The stretch should be comfortable from your neck to the base of your skull. Repeat 10 times.2Side LeanLean your head to the right. Bring your ear close to the shoulder. Hold for 20 seconds. Bring your head back to the center, and then lean it to the left, again holding for 20 seconds. Repeat 35 times on each side.3SidetoSide Head TurningTurn your chin towards your right shoulder. Hold for 20 seconds. Bring your head back to the center, and then turn it to the left, again holding for 20 seconds.
