21．（6分）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 12 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.
1、Crossing legs when sitting may cause the following except______.
A．blood pressure increase B．neck and back pain
C．temporary nerve damage D．numbness in the legs
2、Which of the following is true?
A．All people are used to sitting with legs crossed without their own notice.
B．Researchers are unaware of health problems caused by the common sitting habit.
C．It is crucial but impossible to get into the habit of sitting with feet planted flat.
D．Crossing legs increases resistance of blood circulation throughout the body.
3、After reading this passage, what will people be more likely to do?
A．Maintain a healthy sitting posture B．Find a comfortable way to sit
C．Move the neck to ease discomfort D．Do exercises to lower blood pressure
22．（8分）Adolescence, the period of a child’s life when they are most vulnerable to outside influences, is a relatively scary time for parents. Children of this age become the target of many negative influences while at the same time they are experiencing hormones that are raging out of control.
But parents should not be fooled by their children’s rejection and rudeness. In fact children expect the constant support, guidance, and influence from their parents.
I came from a family where anger always lies just below the surface, waiting for an excuse to erupt. My parents often said that my sisters and I could tell them anything. Though they promised not to be angry at whatever we would say, they couldn’t do it. Without the emotional support from my parents during my most vulnerable years, I often found myself losing my temper easily and even doing risky behaviors.
There is no certain standard about parenting, but I knew exactly what I should not do after I became a parent. I knew the importance of establishing open communication and trust, which resulted in my proper reactions and my children’s trust.
Our home was a quiet place, a shelter for my children’s emotional well-being. My children freely shared with me what happened in their lives, whether good or bad, shocking or humorous. As their mother, I rarely raised my voice and my reactions to their telling about their improper behaviors remained calm, no matter how I felt inside.
Parenting I did was far from easy. It took patience, persistence, and consistency. Everyone hopes for beautiful relationships with their children, and everyone can have them. The theory is simple: trust is the lock---communication is the key.
1、What do we know about adolescents according to the text?
A．They cannot easily control themselves
B．They are easily influenced by their parents
C．They are eager to communicate with parents
D．They don’t expect parents’ guidance and support
2、Which of the following words best describes the author when she was a teenager?
A．Gentle B．Dishonest
C．Hurt D．Careless
3、How did the author gain trust when communicating with her children?
A．By making a promise B．By raising her voice
C．By demanding much of them D．By controlling her reactions
4、The text is mainly intended to tell us __________.
A．the need of riding anger at home
B．the ways of parenting adolescents
C．the importance of supporting children
D．the benefit of building good relationships with children
23．（8分）For months fish that live in dark caves in Mexico go without food. They have gone far longer- thousands of years-without light, evolving to lose their eyes and skin pigments（色素）.Now researchers have discovered these strange creatures have another oddity. They survive their food-scarce environment, the fish have evolved extreme ways of turning nutrients into energy. These features create symptoms like large blood sugar swings that, in humans, are predictors of type 2 diabetes. But in the fish these changes are adaptations, not a disease. These cave fish lead log and healthy lives.

Understanding how the fish remain healthy in spite of these symptoms may lead to new approaches for treating diabetes in people, says Cliff Tabin, a geneticist at Harvard Medical School. He and his colleagues are beginning to get clues about how cave fish survive the symptoms.
In humans and other mammals, one of the first signs of type 2 diabetes risk is poor control of Wood sugar (glucose). This happens because cells resist insulin, the hormone that signals cells to take in glucose from the bloodstream. If the problems continue, they progress into full-blown diabetes. The illness kills 3.4 million people worldwide every year, but current treatments often do not work.
The cave fish has, apparently, figured out another solution. The fish were washed from rivers into caves about a million years ago. It was a big change. Rivers were full of food but caves have only what is washed in by seasonal floods.
Because cave fish go many months without food, researchers assumed they evolved a metabolism(新陈代谢）that efficiently stores the calories in a similar way animals store fat before winter. To test that idea, they compared the cave fish with the river fish raised under same conditions in the lab. They found the cave fish do store more visceral fat than river fish. But the cave fish also had much larger, fatty livers, which resembled diabetes-linked fatty liver disease in humans. “But you don’t see destruction of the liver in these guys.” Tabin says. “It’s very curious.”
Cave fish researchers are now working to find out how the fish do it. “The only piece of total evidence is that the metabolic rate is lower in the cave fish than in their river fish relatives.” says Alex Keene of Florida Atlantic University. "There might be something about slow energy use in cells that protects against diabetes." he says, “Finding that something will, like fishing, require some patience.”
1、What interests researchers most in the cave fish is that .
A．they have evolved to lose their eyes and skin pigments
B．they have evolved ways of turning nutrients into energy
C．they have experienced no symptoms of diabetes in humans
D．they have survived from symptoms of diabetes in humans
2、It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that .
A．insulin disturbs the control of blood sugar
B．insulin takes in glucose from the bloodstream
C．insulin prevents the rise of blood sugar
D．insulin lends to progress into full-blown diabetes
3、Researchers study the metabolism in the cave fish mainly by .
A．testing the efficiency of storing fat inside them
B．comparing their fat amount with that in the river fish
C．comparing their fatty livers with those of humans
D．observing their livers storing fat with no destruction
4、It can be concluded that the features of the cave fish .
A．have enabled researchers to find out new ways to treat diabetes
B．have inspired researchers about new treatments for diabetes
C．have brought in many new ideas about how to treat diabetes
D．will be used as a treatment for diabetes in the near future
