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,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, 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.
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’s health.
D.It can make others feel uncomfortable.
33.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
34.In the third paragraph“pins and needles”probably means“_________”.
A.slight sharp pains
B.being a little nervous
C.serious muscle injuries
D.being highly flexible
35.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.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why Do We Find It Hard to Say“No”?
As we all know,saying“no”to others is not easy at all.But sometimes we have to learn to say“no”.__36__ Below are common reasons why people find it hard to say“no”:
●37You are a kind soul at heart.You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible,even if it may eat into your time.
●Afraid of being rude.I was brought up under the idea that saying“no”,especially to people who are older, is rude.This thinking is common in Asian culture,where face saving is important.38
●Wanting to be agreeable.You don’t want to alienate(疏远)yourself from the group because you’re not in agreement.So you agree to others’requests.
●Fear of conflict(冲突)39This might lead to an ugly confrontation(面对).Even if there isn’t,there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects in the future.
●40Perhaps you are worried saying“no”means closing doors.For example,one of my friends’wives was asked to work in another department in her company.Since she liked her team,she didn’t want to go.However, she didn’t want to say“no”as she felt it would affect her promotion(晋升)chances in the future.
A.Wanting to help others.
B.Fear of losing chances.
C.Wanting to keep a good relationship.
D.I slowly realized I needed to learn to say“no”.
E.You are afraid the person might be angry if you refuse him/her.
F.It means not making others look bad or lose face.
G.To learn to say“no”,we have to first understand what’s stopping us from it.

Dear Headmaster,
We have been asked about our opinions on opening iPad classrooms.I am in favour of this plan for the following reasons.
To begin with,everyone learns differently.Students can customize their iPad with materials that fit their level and learning style.Moreover,when connected to the Internet,students can interact with teachers from all over the world and enjoy tons of useful materials,which obviously will enable them to learn more efficiently.For the sake of environmental protection,opening iPad classrooms is a good way to save trees that we have been cutting down for paper.Most importantly,I believe students will develop their interests by enjoying a new way of learning.
I hope you would take my ideas into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
