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 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 your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time it’s important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s 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, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office.
You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly(刺痛的) or have the feeling of being asleep. 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.

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least signs of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests，but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards to the waiter.With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss at the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty_advantages”．But the strange thing is that all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fares after they have attended to their business and that not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”．
4．The underlined words in Paragraph 5 means to “________”． A. be ready to help others B．make good use of one's friends C．be a little ahead of others
D. painful
D．gain something at others’ expense
5．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

D．everyone in Finland is like a gentleman，for they have faith in themselves 7．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．Life in Finland

Finding fruits and vegetables at your typical grocery store that have been grown without the extensive use of pesticides can be difficult. Fortunately, The Environmental Working Group(EWG) has done all of the work for you in finding healthy and pesticide－free produce.
EWG has created the 2024 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce, which helps shoppers to find uncontaminated produce. Many consumers do not realize that pesticide residues(残留) are very common on conventionally grown produce products, even after they have been washed or peeled. Because of this, EWG has created their series of guides to lead consumers to safer food choices.
In order to create these guides, EWG analyzed the USDA pesticides tests, which found a total of 230 different pesticides and pesticides breakdown products on thousands of produce samples. Analyzing this information, EWG observed the big differences of the amount of pesticides found from product to product.
The guide's two main components are two compiled lists highlighting the cleanest and dirtiest produce concerning pesticides. These two lists, Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen, show consumers how certain foods continue to carry trace amounts of pesticides with them all the way to the grocery store shelves, while others make it to your kitchen virtually pesticide－free.
Some of the highlights from their analyses included the following findings：
More than one－third of strawberry samples analyzed in 2016 contained 10 or more pesticide residues and breakdown products.
Spinach(菠菜) samples had, on average, almost twice as much pesticide residue by weight compared to any other crop.
No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four pesticides. “With EWG's guide, consumers can fill their fridges and fruit bowls with plenty of healthy conventional and organic produce that isn't contaminated with multiple pesticide residue，” said Sonya Lunder, a senior analyst in EWG.
Only 25 years ago, the National Academy of Sciences raised concerns about exposure to poisonous pesticides in our food, yet consumers still consume a mixture of pesticides every day in America. 8. Why did EWG create the 2024 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce? A. To analyze the USDA pesticides tests. B. To advertise organic produce. C. To warn some food companies.
D. To help consumers make safer choices.
9. What is the result from the analysis of the USDA pesticides tests? A. All the samples are polluted. B. 230 pesticides are banned.
C. Pesticide amounts vary in products. D. All strawberries are poisonous.
10. Where are shoppers most likely to find spinach?
A. Dirty Dozen list. B. Organic food advertisement. C. Clean Fifteen list. D. Safer food list. 11.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. All conventional produce is safe.
B. No pesticides were used on crops 25 years ago. C. Consumers never worry about pesticides. D. Produce safety remains a problem.

After photographer Monni Must’s daughter Miya died, the sad mother adopted her black dog, Billy Bean. As Billy became increasingly weak, the thought of its dying was just more than Must could handle. So she decided to clone the dog. “I feared everyone was going to forget Miya,” she said, “and my other daughters thought I had completely lost my mind.”
Billy's cells were shipped to ViaGen Pets, a Texas company that provides the cloning service. With
more than $50,000, Must picked up a new puppy. “The dog has a real soul and is everything my daughter was—fun, social and kind,” she said. “I feel that I still have that touchable connection and not just a spiritual connection.”
Cloning animals is hardly new. But the recent news that singer Barbra Streisand had cloned her dog grabbed international headlines. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA) president Ingrid Newkirk issued a statement saying she would love to talk her out of cloning, noting that millions of wonderful dogs are getting old in animal shelters every year or dying in terrifying ways when abandoned.
Normally, a doctor takes a tissue biopsy(组织活检), a piece of skin and muscle about the size of a pencil eraser, from the dog. The next step is to take an egg cell from a donor dog, remove the egg’s nucleus, and insert DNA from the pet to be cloned. When an embryo(胚胎)develops, it is transplanted in the body of a mother dog.
In the basic cloning procedure, scientists take an entire adult cell and put it into an egg that’s been relieved of its own DNA. The resulting embryo is a clone. However, in many animals, only one in 100 cloned embryos ever leads to a live birth. Some embryos die in the IVF dish or in the mothers bodies. Of those that are born, a few suffer from abnormalities and quickly die. Besides, pet cloning doesn’t mean copying everything of your beloved pets. 12. Why did Must decide to clone Billy Bean? A. She felt alone without its company.
B. Her work experience inspired her to do so. C. She wanted to keep her daughter’s memory. D. Her family encouraged her to get a new dog. 13. What’s Newkrik’s attitude towards pet cloning? A. Supportive.
B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Uncertain.
14. What does Paragraph4 mainly talk about? A. How dog cloning works.
B. The achievements in dog cloning. D. How to support animal protection.
C. The disadvantages of pet cloning.
15. The last paragraph implies that animal cloning________________.
A. is widely accepted now. B. has a very high failure rate. C. gives pet owners false information.
