Your mother was wrong: Sitting up straight is bad for you. Scottish radiologists confirmed in a study last year that bending back 130 degrees between body and the upper part of legs reduces pressure on t he discs (椎间盘) in the lower back. This is why the Aeron chair was so ahead of its time in 1994.
But designers find that the features of chairs like the Aeron are lost on most sitters. Tension from bending back, lumbar (腰部的) support and seat pan depth are commonly ignored by users, who only think to change the chair's height.
This disuse has producers such as Herman Miller and Human scale looking toward the next frontier: a self-adjusting chair. “We're working on a chair that will listen to who's sitting on it and adjust itself to their weight,”says Bill Dowell, director of research at Herman Miller, which makes the Aeron. Human scale’s Freedom chair includes a counterbalance system (平衡系统)that adjusts itself according to the sitter's weight as he or she bends back.
Or p erhaps the chair of the future isn't one at all. Chairs contribute in part to the high rate of back pain, which affects eight out of ten Americans.“Our idea of a machine for sitting may not make sense in a globalized world,”says Herman Miller designer Cameron Campbell. Galen Cranz points out in her book The Chair that the Indian practice of squatting (蹲)and the Muslim practice, of stretching five times a day Lo pray have great ergonomic (工效学的)benefits. Ten years from now, one worker may settle into a low recliner (躺椅) , another will kneel on a soft carpet, and they’ll talk across a pile of office cushions.
64. Why was the Aeron chair so popular once?
A. It was just newly invented. B. It offered comfort and health to sitters.

65. The second paragraph mainly tells us that the Aeron chair__________ .
A. had many weaknesses before  B. needed improving timely
C. wasn't made full use of   D. could be changed in height
66. What most probably makes the Freedom chair attract its sitters？
A. Its ability to adjust itself. B. Its cheap price.
C. Its understanding of sitters' words.   D. Its different appearance.
67. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________ .
A. workers all need a low recliner    B. the future chairs will not sell well
C. the globalized chairs are in great need   D. the future chairs will satisfy different people's needs

teenagers who do not get enough of the nutrients commonly found in fruits and fish are easier to have bad lungs, coughing and wheezing（喘息).Teens who eat the least of fruit and especially vitamin C have weaker lungs compared to the others.
Teens who take in less vitamin E, found in vegetable oil and nuts, are more likely to have asthma(哮喘) , Jane Burns at the Harvard School of Public Health found.
Based on these findings, Burns said that current  recommended dose (一剂) of vitamin C, 85 mg a day, may not be enough for teens to have healthy lungs. Teens who eat less fruit and don't take in enough fatty acids (脂肪酸) are more likely to have asthma and the signs of breathing difficulty.
Proper amounts of fatty acids are protective, Burns said, though fish, the best source of fatty acids, is particularly unpopular with teenagers. Fatty acids are also found in some nuts as well as some green vegetables. Smokers who avoid vitamin C will increase their chances of coughing, wheezing and developing phlegm (痰) .
More than 80 percent of teens are getting their recommended doses of vitamin C --- mainly from fruit drinks.“I wouldn't approve of drinking them, but at least they're getting their vitamin C from somewhere,” Burns said.
Burns added that there are several different ways to get the necessary nutrients.
“I think vitamin supplements are fine. I think adding vitamin D to orange juice is fine. But I do think there are added benefits that we don't fully understand to eating whole focus like fruits and vegetables and fish,” she said. The researchers did not account for poverty and other factors that often distinguish less-healthy eaters and may explain their findings.
68. According Lo the passage, what is the problem with teens who don't get enough nutrients?
A. They are becoming smokers.    B. They don't take enough exercise.
C. They eat too much fruit and fish.    D. They are likely to have weaker lungs.
69. According to Burns, how should teens get the necessary nutrients?
A. By drinking juice as much as possible.  B. By eating more whole foods.
C. By taking vitamin pills. D. By giving up smoking.
70. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the researchers in the passage?
A. The amount of nutrients teens should take in a day.
B. How teens can take in enough nutrients.
C. Whether poor teens can prove their findings.
D. The fact that teens don't like fish.
71. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Poor nutrition hurts teens' lungs.    B. Teens  lack proper nutrition.
C. Teens are easy to suffer from diseases.  D. More fruit help keep teens healthy.

Part of the magic in movies is the costumes. They can transform a normal-looking actor into a cowboy, a space alien or even a superhero. Costumes for movies are designed and created by a whole team of people, according to Courtney Daniel, a Toronto-based costume designer who worked on the recent movie Night At The Museum.
As a designer, she does research to find out what details are needed to make a costume work, and what makes sense for a specific movie. In Night At The Museum, she and a few other designers spent time at libraries and museums studying everything from what cowboys should wear, to what ancient Egyptians and Huns would have put on. Once they got the information they needed, they figured out what fabrics (织物) to use and how to put them together.
The designers even changed a few details to make the costumes more“movie friendly”. For example, more colour and extra touches (修饰)helped historical costumes to be alive for kids. One example of this is the costume for the role in the movie Night At The Museum, an Indian woman Sacagawea, which has a shorter skirt and fits more closely than the clothes the real Sacagawea would have worn.
Daniel has also worked on costumes for other big-name movies, such as the second and third X-Men movies, and Catwoman. If you are. interested in being a costume designer, it helps to have an interest in sewing. She said,“Learning how to sew, and how different fabrics and materials work is important.”So is knowing how to carry out research, Daniel's degree in art history helped in this area.
