27、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 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 (阻力), 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 problems. So, 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 ankle—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.

【1】What can we learn about crossing one’s legs?

A．It is a very bad social habit.

B．It is usually practiced on purpose.

C．It can do harm to people’s health.

D．It can make others feel uncomfortable.

【2】According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can ________.

A．affect your blood pressure

B．resist gravity effectively

C．lead to heart attacks easily

D．improve the function of legs

【3】What can we learn from Richard Graves’s research in the third paragraph?

A．Crossing legs just causes temporary nerve damage.

B．Crossing legs will make you unable to raise your ankle.

C．Crossing legs has no injuries to our muscles.

D．Crossing legs does harm to your lung.

【4】What is the main purpose of the text?

A．To compare common habits.

B．To give readers some advice.

C．To evaluate effects of an experiment.

D．To introduce research methods.

28、The Official Residences of the British Royal Family

Buckingham Palace

We’ll start at Buckingham Palace, the Queen's London home. Situated by St.James's Park， Buckingham Palace has been the monarch's(君主的) official London residence since 1837. It has 775 rooms, including 52 bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh live here, along with the Duke of York, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

Highlights at Buckingham Palace include the Changing of the Guard ceremony, which takes place most Days at11:00a.m., and the State Rooms that are open to the public every summer.

Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle, situated just outside London, is the Queen's weekend retreat. It's the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. Over 39 monarchs have used Windsor Castle as their residence. St George's Chapel is part of the castle and is the venue(会场) for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May 2018.

The castle is open all year round―it has a world-famous Royal dollhouse!―and there are also talks, performances, and activities for kids.

In 1992, a fire at the castle caused over $50,000,000 in damage.

Sandringham House

Sandringham House in Norfolk is one of the Queen's private residences. It was brought into the family in 1862 by the future Edward VII, although a fire in 1891 destroyed much of the original building. It's been passed down through the family into the Queen's ownership. The house itself stands within nearly 20,000 acres, with 60 acres of gardens. The rest is a park and uncultivated(未开垦的) land, which is freely open to the public every day of the year.

The British royal family spends Christmas at Sandringham, traditionally walking to church on Christmas morning and meeting the local people.

29、Recycling is a way to take rubbish and turn it into new products. It’s helpful to our environment. There are a number of different recycling steps that allow materials to be used more than once.

All kinds of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common things in use today include recycling plastic, glass, metals and paper. Things made of these materials include soda cans, plastic milk boxes, newspapers, computers and cardboard boxes.

There are a number of advantages for recycling. These include: Landfills—Recycling materials means less rubbish and saves space in landfills. Resources—When we use materials again, this means we can take fewer resources from the earth. Pollution—in general, recycling materials can produce less pollution, helping to keep our environment clean.

Be sure to recycle everything you can in your house and school. There is almost a “recycle” rubbish can around. Be sure to drop your used aluminum (铝) cans and plastic bottles there. At home, be sure to put paper things like the newspapers, paper boxes, and homework pages into the recycling box.

Plastics are usually marked with an identification code that shows a recycling symbol and a number from 1 to 7. This shows that the type of chemicals or materials is used in making the plastic. Used paper can be recycled around seven times.

It is high time we set up a recycling station in every street, across the city and the country, so the cleaners can transport the rubbish smoothly. This is the only way out for handling rubbish without causing danger to the environment and our health. For ourselves, our children and our children’s children, let’s take action NOW!

Three Fingers of Patience

Once there was a farmer with his wife and children living a happy life by earning from their own land in a village. The family planted in spring, and harvested the crops in autumn. They set aside enough for the whole year, and sold the extra in the market. With the money, the family could buy necessities and prepare seeds and fertilizer(肥料)for the next year. Look, the farmer was making his land ready for his next session of farming. The only issue faced by him was an in sufficient amount of water for the fields. After discussing with his family, the farmer came to a conclusion to dig a well nearby his land. This idea could not only solve the present problem of lacking water, but also improve the watering system once and for all.

After managing to get all the materials prepared, he went to visit an expert to ask for advice about where he should dig one. Under the guidance, he started the project at the edge of the land with great expectation. He worked very hard to dig day and night. Several days passed, and there was no water coming out, but he had confidence and further dug the well even without his lunch or dinner. Three days later, he became discouraged as nothing changed though he dug deeper and deeper. His hard work was not rewarded. The whole family boosted his confidence and advised him not to lose hope. He didn’t want to disappoint anyone, especially himself, and began his project again. Another two days went by, and there was not a single drop of water coming from the well. He was completely tired, lost patience and went home thinking that everything was a waste of time. Although his family still believed they were able to find water there, the result made them accept the failure. In case passers-by fell into the hole by mistake, they put a piece of wood which was the size of five fingers long near the unfinished well. Since then, the family didn’t talk about the well any more.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

One night, a villager walked beside the well and hit his leg on that wood by mistake.
