Is It Bad to Cross Your Legs When You Sit?
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate.This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time it's important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn't have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it's important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it's best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it's not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.
So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.
21. According to para 2, we can infer that___________
A. it's no big deal to cross our legs for less than 15 minutes.
B. we will feel uncomfortable at the moment we cross the legs.
C. we should take a walk every hour after sitting still.
D. crossing legs while sitting makes it harder to circulate our blood.
22. How many health problems can be caused by crossing legs according to the text?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
23. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. ① B ① C. ① D. ①

② ③ ② ③ ② ③ ④ ② ③

Columbus Day has been on American calendars since 1937，when President Franklin D．Roosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who“discovered”the Americas in 1492．However，the holiday has always been controversial．Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for“discovering”the continent，since native Americans had already been living there for generations．
Besides，the explorer，s mission was not a scientific“voyage of discovery”，but one intended to conquer the new land．Critics maintain that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage，caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of indigenous(土著的)people．Those that survived the massacre became slaves，working in mines．Many，therefore，believe that the explorer's arrival should not be celebrated．
In 1977，a delegation of Native nations at the International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas，proposed renaming the holiday to“Indigenous People’s Day”．The proposal passed with a majority．
However，convincing the rest of the country to do the same was not that easy．It took 15 years before the city of Berkeley in California adopted the name in 1992 and then 22 more years before Minneapolis，MN and Seattle，WA did the same in 2014．The following year，eight more cities including Albuquerque，NM and Portland，OR，began celebrating the second Monday of October as“Indigenous People’s Day”. The movement really started to gain momentum in 2016 when 19 cities，including Boulder，CO and Phoenix，AZ，as well as the states of Minnesota and Vermont，a11 decided to rename the day to honor Native Americans．In 2017，21 more cities，including Austin，TX and Los Angeles，CA have made the shih．
With the increasingly larger number of cities moving away from Columbus Day each year，it will be interesting to see if“Indigenous People’s Day”gets federal recognition．Meanwhile，it will continue to be the focal point of debates throughout the Americas．
24．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Indigenous People’s Day Has Got Federal Recognition after Years’Work
B．Columbus Day Honoring the Italian Explorer Has Always Been Controversial
C．Christopher Columbus Should Not Be Given Credit for Discovering Americas
D．More Cities Have Replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day
25．Many people don’t agree that________．
A．Indigenous discovered the continent
B．Columbus was a remarkable explorer
C．Native Americans were abused
D．Columbus Day is a public holiday
26．What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．Columbus was well received by indigenous people．
B．The indigenous people hated the Columbus’arrival．
C．The Spanish army rebelled against Columbus’rule．
D．Few soldiers survived the attack by native Americans．
27．Which of the following cities is the earliest to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day?
A．Portland． B．Phoenix． C．Seattle． D．Los Angeles．
C
Recently, Google?announced?that its voice-activated program, Google Assistant, will be offering a new feature called “Tell Me Something Good.” Users can now give that command and receive an earful of positive news stories. What’s more, the?New York Times?has a page online called “Fixes,” which focuses on what people are doing to fight social ills. As media researcher Karen McIntyre of Virginia Commonwealth University explains, these are all parts of a news movement called?constructive journalism.
Constructive journalism is different from “feel-good news,” like a fireman rescuing a cat. Instead, constructive journalism offers a more complete but appealing version of the news, says McIntyre. In her opinion, besides focusing on solutions, constructive journalism includes reporting on the historical and social setting of specific news incidents, using reliable data to look at longer-term trends, and avoiding interview techniques that create drama without increasing understanding.
However, newspapers thrive on eyes on the page, and editors may be less interested in constructive journalism if they aren’t convinced that it’ll attract their readers. While McIntyre acknowledges those concerns, research has shown the opposite to be true. For example,?one study?found participants who read an online story that focused on approaches to poverty spent more time on the page than those reading a similar story without focusing on solutions.
There is much we don’t know yet about how this kind of journalism affects behavior. The research is relatively young, though at least?one?of McIntyre’s studies showed an interesting result: people who read inspiring news stories were more willing afterwards to sign up for generous actions related to the story, such as donating money to support a cause from the story. Therefore, she argues, there’s a hunger for this type of news.
28. Why are Google Assistant and Fixes mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To say how the news movement works.
B. To stress the importance of positive news.
C. To show what constructive journalism is.
D. To lead in the topic of the whole text.
29. Constructive journalism encourages stories that__________.
A. inform people of big events. B. are solution-focused.
C. focus on amazing you. D. are based on interesting facts.
30. How should constructive journalism stories be written?
A. In a serious way. B. In a humorous way.
C. In a usual way. D. In an understandable way.
31. What may be the problem with constructive journalism?
A. That it isn’t appealing to readers.
B. That it isn’t easy to collect and edit.
C. That it adds to some editors’ concerns.
D. That it is unavailable to some readers.
D
Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.
However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance.
Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.
That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body's dehydration (脱水) levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.
This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London. John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s.
For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber.” The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.
“We've got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we've changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and we've got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they've been completing their 10km.”
Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.
32.What can we know about running in winter?
A．It increases pressure of the body. B．It improves the function of body.
C．It makes your heart rate higher. D．It needs more water than in summer.
33．What can we know about the research according to the text?
A．Researchers interviewed the subjects
B．Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.
C．Subjects built the “environmental chamber”.
D．Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.
34．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 7?
A．Combine. B．Remember. C．Copy. D．Decorate.
35．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Environmental Chamber
B．The Way of Losing Heat
C．Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance
D．Biological Measurements of the Runners

Rich and Famous
Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today’s situation is quite different. 36． Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, a pop star, or an actor—in other words, they hope to become a celebrity .
According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. 37． Let’s take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes’ best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they’ll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. 38．The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.
In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living-they want to be rich and famous. Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.39．They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. 40． That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won’t realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A．In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
B．People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
C．Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
D. The younger generation don't favor these professions any more.
E. Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people's life.
F. The reason is that they don't realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.
G. This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.

Dear Mr Brown，
I'm Li Hua, one of the senior three students in China. I'm going to Vancouver, your hometown, and study there for a month starting from October 6. I'm writing to ask you about what I will have to be reminded of.
I hear the classes and their arrangements are very different from ours. Is that true? I take a great fancy to sports and clubs. Are there any interesting extracurricular activities available out there? By the way, what about the weather conditions in Vancouver this time of year? Should I bring more warm clothes?
Please spare some time letting me know. Many thanks! Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
