Colleague: Oh, I've got a pain in my neck.

Shirley: You'd better take a break.

Colleague: I saw my doctor last week, and she said that I was suffering from the cervical spondylosis.

Shirley: Oh, sorry to hear that. I think not only you but also all of the office workers should pay more attention to their health.

Colleague: Yes, my neck is stiff, and I feel dizzy and sick after a busy day.

Shirley: Me too. I've heard that the massage can relieve pain of the muscle of the affected part, improve blood circulation. I am eager to have a try.

Colleague: But it is costly. You can massage your shoulders by yourself.

Shirley: Does it work?

Colleague: Yes, of course. I had a massage last Sunday. It's quite comfortable.

Shirley: A masseuse said that we should maintain a comfortable sitting position. And while reading and writing avoid long time sitting in one position.

Colleague: That's right. And we also should do some eye massage every day. Starting at a computer screen all day really makes my eyes hurt!

Shirley: Yeah, I learned that close eyes tightly for 3 to 5 seconds, then open them for 3 to 5 seconds. Repeat this 7 or 8 times a day. It's good for your eyesight. Please try now.

Colleague: Yeah, great. I feel much better now. Thanks very much.

Shirley: Maybe we should go to our doctor's every six months.

Colleague: Yes, I agree with you. Take care of the health before everything.

Shirley: You are right.

聽看學

同事:噢，脖子好疼啊。

雪莉:你最好休息一下。

同事:我上個星期去看醫(yī)生了，她說我得了頸椎病。

雪莉:噢，很抱歉聽到這個。我想不止是你，所有的上班族都應該注意健康。

同事:是啊，一天緊張的工作下來我的脖子都僵了，頭也暈，還惡心。

雪莉:我也是。我聽說按摩可以減輕受損部位肌肉疼痛，改善血液循環(huán)。我很想試試。

同事:但是很貴吧。你能自己按摩肩膀啊。

雪莉:有用嗎?

同事:當然有用。我上個星期做了個按摩，很舒服。

雪莉:一個按摩師說我們坐的時候得有個舒適的坐姿，讀寫的時候不能長時間保持不動。

同事:對啊。我們每天還得做些眼部按摩。整天盯著電腦看，我的眼睛都疼了。

雪莉:是的，聽說緊閉眼睛3到5秒，然后睜開眼睛3到5秒。一天重復7到8次，對視力很好。快試一試。

同事:是的，很好。感覺好多了，真是感謝。

雪莉:我們還得每六個月去看一次醫(yī)生。

同事:是的，同意你的看法。健康是最重要的。

雪莉:對噢。
