part 2 Listening Comprehension News Report two
第二部分 聽力理解 新聞報(bào)告二
Mobile phones have changed the way we live, how we read, work, communicate and shop, but we already know this. What we have not yet understood, is the way the tiny machines in front of us are changing our skeletons, possibly altering not just the way we behave, but even the very shape of our bodies. New scientific research at the university of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia suggests that young people are developing extra pieces of bone at the backs of their heads. These pieces of bone are caused by the way people bend their heads when they use the phone. This shifts weight on to the muscles at the back of the head and causes the bone to grow in a way that is not normal. This process can be compared to the way the skin hardens in response to constant rubbing or pressure. The result is a piece of bone like a horn that sticks out from the head by the neck.
手機(jī)已經(jīng)改變了我們的生活方式,包括我們?nèi)绾伍喿x、工作、交流和購物,但這一點(diǎn)我們?cè)缫阎?。我們尚未理解的是,我們面前這些小巧的機(jī)器是如何改變我們的骨骼的,可能不僅僅改變我們的行為方式,甚至改變我們身體的形狀。澳大利亞昆士蘭州陽光海岸大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)新科學(xué)研究表明,年輕人正在頭部后側(cè)長(zhǎng)出多余的骨頭。這些骨頭是由人們使用手機(jī)時(shí)低頭的方式造成的。這會(huì)使頭部后側(cè)的肌肉承受重量,導(dǎo)致骨頭以不正常的方式生長(zhǎng)。這個(gè)過程可以與皮膚在持續(xù)摩擦或壓力下變硬的方式相比較。結(jié)果是,頭部靠近頸部的地方會(huì)長(zhǎng)出一塊類似角的骨頭。
