 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

1. Flexibility and mobility are essential not only to reduce the risk of injuries but to generally feel
better. Living a nine to five desk life can be demanding on health and wellness. Here is how you
can keep the most common problems at bay.

2. Even if you are not exercising you need to make sure that you maintain correct posture and sit
at your desk in the right way. It is important that your chair is placed correctly and your legs are
not left hanging. Proper alignment ensures that your neck and back are not strained. Exercises
and abdominal crunches two to three times a week can strengthen the core. It will help take the
pressure off your back and will make it easier to maintain good posture. Chairs with a back that
support your upper back are preferable for those who work long hours in front of screens.

3. Constant typing, writing reports, and answering e-mails can exert your wrists leading to long-
term damage. The frequency of your use and how you position your wrists at your keyboard can
be a reason. The telltale signs of exertion would be a tingling sensation or numbness. One should
not ignore initial signs. Make sure that you rest your wrist at regular intervals. To relieve tension
quickly fold your hands in a NAMASTE in front of your chest with elbows moving out and
lower your hands till you feel a good stretch in your wrists. Also rotating your fists inside and
outside provides much relief to strained wrists.
4. Since those who work on desks spend a lot of time looking at a computer screen, they are at a
risk of straining their eyes. This may also lead to dry eyes and fatigue. Poor eyesight is the result
of continued and improper exposure to screens. Keeping the computer screen at an optimal
distance helps a lot in minimizing strain to eyes. The screen shouldn’t be too close or too far. To
ease eye strain use good lighting and make it a point to look at a distance away from your screen
every twenty to thirty minutes.

(a) On the basis of your reading of the above passage make notes on it using headings and
subheadings. Use recognizable abbreviations and a format you consider suitable. Also, supply a
title to it.
(b) Write a summary of the passage in not more than 80 words using the notes made.
