健康问题一直是生活中的热点话题。尤其对于女性来说,你知道穿矮高跟鞋和纯粹的高跟鞋对你身体健康的影响吗?
Healthy knees aren"t the main consideration in choosing high heels, but new research says chunky heels are just __________as spindly stilettos(细高跟鞋).
"It takes a long time to feel the effects of knee osteoarthritis(骨关节炎)— and once you do, it is too late," said Dr. Casey Kerrigan, leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical School"s department of physical medicine.
"I compare it to smoking — one cigarette is not painful, but over a lifetime it is. Wide-heeled shoes feel comfortable, so women wear them all day long, "Kerrigan said.”They are better for your feet than stiletto heels, but just as had for your knees.”
The idea that high heels are bad for your health isn"t new — scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes, tendonitis, knee pain, sprained(扭伤)ankles and back problems.
But in 1998, Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis, a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage(软骨)surrounding the knee.
The first study looked only at stiletto heels, and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high-heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing.
"This study confirms what we all intuitively(直觉地)know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health," said Dr. Glenn Pfeifer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.

Researchers from the University of Otago in Dunedin studied 1000 children from age 3 to 26.They found that those who watched television more than two hours a day had higher levels of obesity(肥胖), blood cholesterol(胆固醇)and smoking — as well as lower levels of physical fitness — when they reached adulthood than kids who watched less than two hours a day.
Why? Partly because while they are watching TV kids aren"t getting out, exercising and playing with other kids, and burning off the calories. But more insidiously(不知不觉地), while watching TV, they"re being shown a lot of ads for drinks and foods of uncertain nutritional value, most of which are full of sugar and fat.
Across the globe, about 155 million kids are obese, according to the International Obesity Task Force. The dangerous thing is not just the well-being of these kids as they grow up, but hundreds of billions of dollars of health costs spent on adults with heart disease, diabetes(糖尿病), and the disabilities these disease will cause.
In Australia, two thirds of children are overweight and one third are obese. Twenty years ago, only about ten per cent were obese. And Australia has the greatest amount of junk food ads per hour of television than any other country in the world, including the US and the UK. About 30 per cent of all ads in kids" viewing time are for food or drinks. Most of them are for junk food: burgers, chips, soft drinks and sweets —high in fat, salt or sugar.
Here in Australia, experts are also calling for a ban on TV advertising of junk food to kids. The Coalition on Food Advertising to Children (CFAC) wants to make changes to laws, hoping it can ban all food advertising on TV during the time of the day when children under 12 years old are watching. This includes early and afternoon time, and evening TV between 5 pm and 9 pm.

A.very strong | B.very weak |
C.very confident | D.very fat |
A.more than 120 minutes a day | B.less than 120 minutes a day |
C.180 minutes or so a day | D.240 minutes or so a day |
A.Australia | B.Chinese | C.Canada | D.Germany |
A.They are very expensive and harmful | B.They waste a lot of kids’ spare time |
C.They persuade kids to eat junk food | D.They are more inviting and interesting |
Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence . But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people .
The so-called ‘non-intelligence factors’(非智力因素)include 36 feelings , will , motivation (动机), interests and habits . After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males , American psychologists (心理学) 37 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 38 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn , will power and self-confidence .
39 people all know that one should have definite objectives , a strong will and good learning habits , quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to 40 these factors .
Some parents are greatly worried 41 their children fail to do well in their studies . They blame either genetic (遗传的)factors , malnutrition ,(营养不良)or laziness , but they never take 42 consideration these non-intelligence factors . At the same time , some teachers don’t inquire into these , as reasons 43 students do poorly . They simply give them more courses and exercises , or 44 criticize or laugh at them . After all , these students lose self-confidence . Some of them just feel defeated and 45 themselves up as hopeless . Others may go astray(迷途)because they are sick of learning . 46 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 47 of learning , because of examinations , 36.4 per cent lacked persistence , initiative (主动)and consciousness (正直地、谨慎的)and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .
It is clear 48 the lack of cultivation (培养) of non-intelligence factors has been a main 49 to intelligence development in teenagers . It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and 50 development among a few students .
If we don’t start now to 51 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the 52 of teenagers , but also affect the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward 53 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors .
First , parents and teachers should 54 understand teenage psychology . On this basis , they can help them to pursue (调动)the objectives of learning , 55 their interests and toughening their willpower .

There is no doubt that watching television and can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.
One obvious effect of the these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted(扭曲的) one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible(易受影响的)viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies.
With the every-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience.
10.From the passage, we know that watching television and movies can ________.
A. make people live better B. make people feel pleased
C. make people change their way of life D. make people live worse
11 The writer holds the view that _______.

C.the effects of the visual media make the world changed greatly
D.the visual media only affect young people

A.Those who watch news and educational programs can earn a lot of money and become very pretty.
B. The reason why most people possess great wealth and good looks is that they often watch television advertising.
C. People buy products only when they are induced by television advertising.
D. People who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world are rich and beautiful.

A. The Influence of Television and Movies
B. The Reason Why People Watch Television and Movies

Does this mean we should stop bathing? No, say the scientists, but we should put all pollution into perspective. Activities at home such as the burning of coal, cooking oil, or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which have been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic. New tugs, bedding, and even clothing give off that“new smell, ”which is a sure sign of chemicals. In the office, newly applied paint, newly purchased telephones and other telecommunications equipment, and computers release polluting chemicals, too. As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风), these chemicals can build up to become health problems. Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized.
These facts suggest that, at a minimum, proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obvious chemical smell is a wise warning. Home and office windows should be opened during good weather. Even one’s car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage.
We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers, too. For example, the effects of overcrowding of schools (carbon dioxide build-up ), the factory work environment ( an endless list of potentially dangerous substances ), and even home heating and cooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies, not our friends) have only recently started to come to light. Until we understand the effects of our new technological environment better, we can only hope that“there is no place like home.”
64.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.The air we breathe in is harmful.
B.The water in everyday use is unsafe.
C.Chemicals are added to the drinking water.
D.Chemicals are released in the running water.
65.In Paragraph 2, the underlined sentence means that .
A.bathing should be done with caution
B.homes and offices should be aired often
C.any pollution should be taken into consideration
D.we should prevent any pollution from doing harm to us
66.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To call on us to guard our water.
B.To show us that no place is like home.
C.To make us aware of the pollution around us.
D.To argue that neither homes nor offices are safe.
