26、(题文)Thumbs Down to Texting (屈指发短信)
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?
Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling in our thumbs. Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons, over and over . Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using computer, video games and mobile phones. If we don't do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
根据短文内容,完成下列小题。
【1】(小题1)What is becoming very popular now?
【2】(小题2)Does the word “once” mean “one time” in the second passage?

27、Jessica looked anxiously at the notice on the pet shop window. Printed in big, white letters were the words:
CLOSING DOWN SALE HUGE PRICE CUTS
EVERYTHING MUST GO
From the look of the windows, everything had already gone.
There was no sign of the cute little dogs or the colorful fish that had been there a week before.
Jessica pushed open the door and hurriedly made her way past the empty boxes. At the back of the shop, a large red and blue parrot was standing on its perch(栖木). As soon as it saw Jessica, it gave a loud sound and flew over to sit on her shoulder.
“Oh, Zebedee,” she cried, “Thank goodness, you’re still here! I thought you’d been sold.”
“Polly put the kettle on,” the bird replied immediately.
Mr. Menagerie, the pet shop owner, appeared from the back office. He greeted Jessica with a cheerful smile. “I was hoping you’d call in.”
“I haven’t missed a Saturday yet. But what’s going on? Why are you selling everything?” asked Jessica.
“I’m going to Africa,” Mr. Menagerie said, “My brother, Tom, the famous explorer, has asked me to join him on his new journey.”
“Africa! You are lucky,” said Jessica. “I’ve always wanted to have adventures. Nothing exciting ever happens to me.”
“Well, here is something exciting! I can’t take my old friend Zebedee and I think you might like to have him.”
“Oh! I’d love to... but, I can’t. I don’t have any money.”
“I didn’t mean ‘buy him’,” laughed Mr. Menagerie, “I meant ‘have him’, as a gift. You visit him so often and it is you who taught him to talk. Anyway, I’ll be glad to know he’s going to a good home.”
“I promise I’ll look after him carefully. Thank you, Mr. Menagerie. Enjoy Africa!”
