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 (肿胀) 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 RSL   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.     Note: RSI abbr .肢体重复性劳损 (repetitive strain injury). 1. What is becoming very popular now according to the passage?     ______________________________. 2. Does the word "once" mean "one time" in the second passage?     ______________________________. 3. What kind of people are easier to have the problem of RSI?     ______________________________. 4. What can also cause RSI besides texting?     ______________________________. 5. Which is easier to cause the problem of RSI,  using smaller mobile phones or larger ones?     ______________________________.
