11、an extremely common habit; most people dont even notice that theyre 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 sit

12、ting 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 you

13、r body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You wont feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time its important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldnt have your legs crossed for more than 12 minutes, and its

14、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, its best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but its not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you s

15、it 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 lo

16、ng 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 feeli

17、ng 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 wil

18、l also save your health in the long run.1、Crossing legs when sitting may cause the following except_.Ablood pressure increase Bneck and back painCtemporary nerve damage Dnumbness in the legs2、Which of the following is true?AAll people are used to sitting with legs crossed without their own notice.BR

19、esearchers are unaware of health problems caused by the common sitting habit.CIt is crucial but impossible to get into the habit of sitting with feet planted flat.DCrossing legs increases resistance of blood circulation throughout the body.3、After reading this passage, what will people be more likel

20、y to do?AMaintain a healthy sitting posture BFind a comfortable way to sitCMove the neck to ease discomfort DDo exercises to lower blood pressure22（8分）Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. The following are 6 cultural differences betw

21、een China and the USA to help promoting mutual understanding.MoneyAs is well known, the Chinese are conservative when they are planning to spend money, but far fewer American families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts (对等的人).PrivacyChinese people do not h

22、ave the same concept of privacy as American do. They talk about topic such as ages, income or marital (婚姻的) status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing.FamilyIn China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while young are cared for. In America, the goal of the family is to

23、 encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.FriendsChinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it dee

24、ply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.EducationChinese people value education and career m

25、ore than Americans, who in turn attach more great importance to good character and faith, which they think are of great value in their life._Basically China values the community and the USA values the individual. If you achieve something in the USA, its because you are great. While in China, if you

26、achieve something, its because the team, or family, or company is great.
