McCalman s Cheese 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 leg 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 won t feel any immediate effects but repeated drawn out increases in blood pressure can cause long term health issues So are you planning to sit for a long period of time Don t keep your legs crossed Crossing 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 ankles what we know as that pins and needles sensation 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 揭阳市 2018 年高中毕业班高考第一次模拟考试英语试题 第 6 页 共 10 页 32 What can we learn about crossing one s legs A It is a very bad social habit B It is usually practiced deliberately C It can do harm to people

culture kid The term third culture kid or TCK was first used in the 1960s by Dr Ruth She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India Caught between two cultures they form their very own 36 About 90 percent of them have a university degree while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree They usually benefit from their intercultural experience which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals 37 In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon A third culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected Instead they may always 揭阳市 2018 年高中毕业班高考第一次模拟考试英语试题 第 7 页 共 10 页 remain an outsider in different host cultures Max for example experienced this feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third culture kid 38 While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world it can be difficult for a third culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships For a third culture kid it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their home country After living in Australia and South Korea for many years Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born 39 She did not share the same values as her friends even years after going back home While a third culture kid must let go of their identity as a foreigner when he she returns the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he she came across before The peer group they face does not match the idealized 理想化的 image children have of home 40 As a part of the growing culture TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places A Yet being a third culture kid is not always easy B In general they often reach excellent academic results C This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity D However their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle E Their experience abroad helps them to understand cultural differences better F Unlike other teens of her age she didn t know
