It also contains a major collection of nerves that deliver electric signals from the rest of the body to your brain. So it39。s important to take care of it. Staying in a good position is one of the most important things to keep your spine healthy. A proper position means standing or sitting while keeping your spins straight, except for its natural bending. Positions play a vital part even when you39。re asleep. Stomach sleeping is far from a good idea. Many people prefer sleeping on their side, which is in the interests of their spine. Sleeping on your back has lots of benefits yet can cause lower back pain and put some pressure on your spine. Staying still for too long — even if your position is good — can be hard on your back. Especially if you work at a task most of the day, it39。s important to get up and stretch (伸展) periodically. Strength exercises with light weights like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles. However, don39。t overdo the exercise, as repeated movements can hurt the muscles around the spine, as trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique. Vitamins also affect the health of your spine. In particular, vitamin B and omega3 fatty acids help keep nerves healthy. Another important part is vitamin D, which is required for strong bones. Vitamin D can e from some foods, but it39。s also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some exercises outside. At last, many of the actions necessary to keep a spine healthy are similar to those used to protect your health in other ways. So protect your back, and the rest of the body will benefit.（1）Which sleeping position is best for our spine according to the passage? A.B.C.D.（2）What is suggested in paragraph 3?

Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That39。s more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America. Uber and many other panies are working on developing cars and trucks that don39。t need a driver in the driver39。s seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s. And then there is the Gig Economy (零工經(jīng)濟(jì)) that has some businesses moving toward parttime, ondemand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology panies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be selfemployed, and that fulltime jobs will be harder to find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category.
