s it could make the standing desk mainstream. Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have bee a mon sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机 )and bicycle desks. The desk is not the first “convertible” on the market. As early as 2020, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, converting it into a standing desk or a traditional desk.

To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user’s preferences over time and suggest the best seating position. The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of exApple and Disney engineers. It has a builtin touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day.

Some people blame(责备 ) the fact that we are surrounded (包围 ) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. 37 , then probably children would buy less takeaway food. 38 . I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their children fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and salty foods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit. There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their puters and play puter games. 39 . What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem. 40 , as well as forcing them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. A. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to bee overweight B. Adults are being fatter and unhealthier too [ C. If there were fewer of these restaurants D. Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active E. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣 ), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food F. I feel there are a number of reasons for this G. It’s a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共三节，满分 30分） 完形填空（共 20小题；每小题 ，满分 30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（ A、 B、 C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “Daily Star, sir” called Jason, carrying some newspapers under his arm.
