Check out any woman's wardrobe and you will be sure to find at least one pair of high heel shoes there. After all, which woman can 1 wearing something that makes her look taller and her legs 2 longer? Unfortunately, those high heel shoes women love so much 3 their name, and can end up doing more damage than you can imagine 4 the spine(脊柱) and lower back—if care is not taken.
Murlowska, a therapist(治疗师 ), is 5 with the consequences of wearing high heels. A majority of 6 who arrive at Murlowska's office come to her with back and lower back problems. Very often the 7 are the result of not walking properly in high heels or choosing the 8 kind of footwear.
"I know women love wearing high heels but they can 9 extreme damage to the body," Murlowska says, "I recently had a patient who had a terrible fall while walking in high heels and twisted her 10. She did not think much of it at the time, but the next morning she 11 up to find her knee swollen and painful."
If a woman walks in heels 12 than five centimeters, several pressure points develop in various parts of the body which experience 13. Essentially, a woman wearing high heels is attempting to 14 her entire body on a very small area. This causes extreme stress on the muscles of the legs 15 increasing the chances of the ankle getting twisted. This can 16 damage to the knee ligaments(韧带) and tendons(腱). High heels force the 17 into an unnatural down-turned position. Consequently, the rest of the body has to 18 itself in order to stay balanced. The lower part of the spine as well as the hip bone tilts(倾斜) forward while the 19spine and the neck tilts back in order to maintain balance."
Over a period of time, the hip bone also gets 20 because of the change in the center of gravity as a result of wearing high heels.

Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?
With whom will you share things that you don’t want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable.
Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.
Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose.
There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement. You can determine that they trust you and believe in your beliefs, if they side with you when you need them the most.
A. People can be extraordinarily jealous sometimes.
B. You know they will never pass on a wrong suggestion.
C. In fact, winning trust is, by far, the most challenging aspect of relationships.
D. Two people cannot have identical reactions to a situation and different opinions do exist.
E. No matter how close you are to your friends, you cannot take that comfort level for granted.
F. If your friends share their secrets, there’s a good possibility that they have much faith in you.
G. However, people who are fortunate to have been blessed with true friends are never alone in any battle.

Hansen was only in middle-school, but a progressive neurological disease was hindering her ability to walk, let alone do ballet. But Hansen had a tenacious spirit and desperately wanted to learn ballet. Hansen joined in weekly group classes at Schlachte’s ballet studio called Ballet for all Kids, a studio that teaches children with disabilities. Soon after she began classes and private lessons, her family saw a vast improvement in her ability to move.

She worked tirelessly in the studio, focusing on what her instructor wanted from her. “At the time, her foot wouldn’t fully rest on the floor,” explains Schlachte. “That’s why she couldn’t stand on her own, there was no support.”

Schlachte pushed her student, explaining to Hansen that her brain has neuroplasticity(可塑性) so eventually it will receive the message.

As a mom, a classically trained ballerina, and holding a degree in psychology, Bonnie Schlachte was the perfect person to push Hansen to do her best. Schlachte put herself through college with dance and theater scholarships. After graduation, she came across an opportunity with children with developmental disabilities. She fell in love and chose to focus on jobs in that field.

Years later, Schlachte found herself watching and celebrating Hansen, who at one point could barely walk, was now moving across the floor on her own two feet. “One day, her ankle dropped, and she put her whole foot on the ground,” says Schlachte. “I was crying, her mom was crying, it was a great moment.”

【1】Why did Sarah Hansen call herself a “weeble-wobble”?

A. She met Bonnie Schlachte for the first time.

B. She had great difficulty in walking properly.

C. She could walk very fast carrying something.

D. She would stop herself from falling quickly.

【2】What kind of person was Sarah Hansen?

A. Determined and hard-working.

B. Energetic and confident.

C. Happy and generous.

D. Anxious and careful.

【3】What did Schlachte do to help Hansen walk?

A. She put Hansen’s foot fully on the floor.

B. She pushed Hansen in a wheelchair.

C. She asked Hansen to control her brain.

D. She paid the fee for her.

【4】What made Schlachte and Hansen’s mother cry?

A. Hansen’s degree in psychology.

B. Hansen’s dance and theater scholarships.

C. Hansen’s opportunity with children.

D. Hansen’s improvement in walking.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
C
No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.
Let's take a man we'll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn't make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.
How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.
A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people's attention.
A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.
（1）What probably led to the start of advertisement?
A.The discovery of iron.
B.The specialization of labor.
C.The appearance of new jobs.
D.The development of farming techniques.
（2）The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to __________.
A.explain the origin of advertising
B.predict the future of advertising
C.expose problems in advertising
D.provide suggestions for advertising
（3）The last two paragraphs are mainly about __________.
A.the history of advertising
B.the benefits of advertising
C.the early forms of advertising
D.the basic design of advertising

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
B
Our risk of cancer rises as we age. So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors(肿瘤)—or doesn't it?
While such careful tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it's important to consider the health benefits of screening and the costs of routine testing.
In many cases, screening can lead to additional operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients' remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a strong reaction among doctors, patients and advocacy(拥护) groups.
It's hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the remainder, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like a remaining life expectancy.
A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more right decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly.
It's not an easy guess to make, but one that makes sense for the whole patient. Dr. Otis Brawley said, "Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to protect themselves against medical disputes(纠纷). We need to think about the good use of health care and stop talking about the rationing(定量配给制) of health care."
That means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.
（1）Some researchers now think that routine cancer screening for the elderly .
A.adds too much to their medical bills
B.helps contribute to a long life
C.can prevent tumor growth
D.is not always necessary
（2）The underlined word "ingrained" in Paragraph 3 most probably means "".
A.important
B.reliable
C.precious
D.deep-rooted
（3）According to Dr. Otis Brawley, why do many doctors recommend routine screening for cancer?
A.Because they want to get more money from the health care system.
B.Because they want to perform their normal duties actively.
C.Because they want to avoid possible trouble.
D.Because they want their patients to suffer less.
（4）What does the author mainly argue for?
A.Screening tests must be effective and dependable.
B.Old people should be careful about routine cancer screening.
C.Screening increases the chances of detecting certain cancers earlier.
D.Whether old people should go for cancer screening should follow rules.
