I reminded him of our need to make a purchase, entered his favorite shop and asked him to select the ripest bunch of grapes. He shot me an anxious look and insisted none of his classmates ever be able to notice he had something to bring to the party. My idea of a successful parenting method, leading to delivering a sociable child to his school, diverted (转移) sharply from reality. Leaving the shop, I did my best to hide the sinking feeling of fear. How could I possibly drop him off and then walk into my own classroom to teach a successful class?My next move was born in the heat of the moment. I said a quick goodbye at the front gate and rushed to his classroom through the emergency exit. I managed to inform his teacher about the grapes in the backpack and be out of the classroom before I could be spied by my son.So, what happened on that June day? His teacher, a caring educator, worked wonders. My son and I still laugh about the way Mr. Black started the day with an unusual question, Does anyone have any grapes? While Jeremy admits feeling a bit unfortable, the words encouraged him to take out the fruit. Because of the support he received, he remembers that day with pride for his courage.25.

While you may find it fortable 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 for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that 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 wont feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out, increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Dont keep your legs crossedCrossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle-what we know as that pins and needles sensation. While the feeling of disfort 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.28. What can we learn about crossing ones legs? A. It is a very bad social habit.B. It is usually practiced on purpose.C. It can do harm to peoples health.D. It can make others feel unfortable. 29. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can_.A. affect your blood pressure B. resist gravity effectivelyC. lead to heart attacks easily D. improve the function of legs30. In the third paragraph,“ pins and needles” probably means“_”A. slight sharp pains B. being a little nervousC. serious muscle injuries D. being highly flexible31. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To pare mon habits. B. To give readers some advice. C. To evaluate effects of an experiment. D. To introduce research methods. D.As the morning school bell rings and students rush in, teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and meditation (冥想) pillows. They fall silent after the teacher taps a “singing bow”.These students are in a for-credit, year-long mindfulness class, which is meant to ease（减轻） youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence. For 90 minutes, three days a week, they practice a mix of yoga, sitting, and walking meditation, deep breathing, and non-judgmental listening.Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades supported by studies showing benefits to emotional, mental, and physical health. The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions, but Western culture has long focused on physical postures (姿势), breathing, and relaxation techniques.Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm. Last year, an elementary school in Ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents plained it was too closely linked to religion. But many School districts are reporting success. In Richmond, California, schools have reported drops in school problems among low ine, at-risk youths. The school district in South Burlington, Vermont, introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program, and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 curriculums. Two years ago, Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino, who teaches yoga. After hundreds of students signed up, Principal Brian Chatard took note. The school was dealing with a students suicide (自杀), and few resources were available to address students emotional and mental health.“High school is the hardest period of time for kids”, Mr. Chatard said. Youve got emotional changes, physical changes, and all the social pressures. Its also the onset（开始） of mental illness for some kids, depression hits, and theres the pressure of college and sports. All these things kids do are overwhelming(势不可挡的) without having a strategy (策略) to deal with them. And now its wonderful that schools all over the country are introducing the practices.32. What do Western people value more about yoga and meditation?A. Non-judgmental listening B. Religious meaning. C. Deep breathing. D. Physical benefits. 33. What can we infer about the mindfulness class? A. It is supported by parentsB. It relieves the pressures of students.C. It mainly builds students up physically.D. It improves students academic performance.34. Who started the mindfulness class?A. Administrators. B. Brian Chatard.C. Caverly Morgan D. Allyson Copacino35. What is Mr. Chatards attitude towards the program?A. Concerned. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D.
