26、Healthy knees aren't the main consideration in choosing high heels, but new research say chunky(宽厚的)heels are just as bad for the knees 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, 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 itis. 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 bad for your knees."
In the study, researchers had twenty women wear two pairs ofshoes with three inch heels, one with a narrow heel and the other with a thick one. The scientists compared how much pressure was put on the women's knees by both types of shoes. The women also walked barefoot to test normal pressure. The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the knees. Compared with walking barefoot, the heels increased pressure on the inside of the knee by 26 percent. Increased pressure on the knee eventually leads to arthritis, experts say.
The idea that high heels are bad for your health isnt new--scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corms tohammer toes, tendonitis(肌腱炎),knee pain, sprained (扭伤)ankles and back problems. But in 1998,Kerrigan 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 confims what we all intuitively (直觉地)know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health," said Dr. Glem Pfeffer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.
【1】Why do women choose chunky heels according to the passage?
A.They want to walk comfortably.
B.Chunky-heeled shoes are cheaper than stiletto-heeled pairs.
C.Chunky heels do less harm to knees.
D.Chunky heels are not painful at all.
【2】What did the study mentioned in the second paragraph find?
A.Pressure on the foot is caused by high heels
B.The pressure is stronger while walking barefoot
C.Arthritis is always caused by pressure on the knees.
D.Both types of shoes have the same harm to the knees
【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Taking Healthy Knees into Consideration
B.High heels Do Harm to Knees

D.When Wearing High heels
27、 When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining the daily routines and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward.
Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money and time for.
For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget (预算) ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel? Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving (使参与) the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone.
Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly or meaningful. There’s no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.

28、 If you are dreaming of visiting one of those picture-perfect European towns filled with old-world attractiveness and scenic beauty, here is a look at the most beautiful small towns in Europe.
Manarola
Manarola, Italy, is filled with rainbow-colored homes along the Mediterranean (地中海) coast. This attractive fishing town is famous for its unbelievable wine, and the paintings.

29、 “Sam’s Journey” is the main attraction of an exhibition to be staged at Bugis+ shopping mall. The show, organized by five Singaporean college students, will start the yearly Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign of this year. Besides the main attraction, there are many kinds of anti-drug games for people to play.
“Sam’s Journey” takes visitors through a maze of activities and information that lets them experience how “Sam’s” life was destroyed by drug abuse.
The maze starts with how“Sam”first started using drugs and became heavily dependent on them. In the middle of the maze, visitors get to wear a specially-designed pair of glasses trying to copy what it is like to be under the influence of drugs. Then visitors go through a dark room with lights flashing that give them an experience similar to the side effects of using drugs.
“Sam’s”life goes further downhill once police officers catch him. Visitors get to experience what it is like in prison as one of the maze checkpoints is a prison cell (a small room built for prisoners).
“We did not want to feed information through experts. We wanted people to walk through this maze to learn about drug abuse and its bad influences,”said Mr Jenson Seah, one of the five Singaporean students.
As the student organizers hope visitors will learn valuable lessons from the show, they too realize that putting the event together was an enriching experience.
“By working with officers from the National Council Against Drug Abuse, I learned a lot about drug abuse and it stretched beyond my degree course learning experience,”said Mr Seah.
The show, which will be given from June 21-22, is just the first of a series of events for the yearly Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign. The two-month-long campaign will include an online photography competition and an Anti-Drug School Corner Competition.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Alexis Vaughan, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She stared out the window at the Preston, Idaho, cornfields.
Alexis, a high school student, let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Still, she was terrified when a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them, just a few feet off the road. "Dad, there's a deer, there!" Alexis said, rolling down the window for a better look. It was a three-point buck (雄鹿) — a male deer with sharp, three-pronged antlers (角) on each side of its head.
As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the buck's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream. A few seconds later, she saw an arm fly up near the buck's head. Alexis realized the buck was attacking a woman. Sue Panter, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The buck had come out from the tall corn and began following her. Having lived in rural Idaho for years, Sue knew that most bucks got frightened by humans. But this buck edged closer, even when she threw at it with a handful of gravels (石子).
Sue went to pick up a log to use for self-defense, and the buck attacked her. It lifted her with its antlers (角) and threw her into the air. Sue could feel the horns punctured (刺穿) her leg and blood flowed down her leg. Within seconds, the buck had pushed her off the road and into the cornfield.
When Alexis and her father pulled up, the buck was rolling Sue like a rag doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the 104 pound teenager jumped quickly out of the car and down the slope toward the buck. She was kicking and hitting it to get its attention. Then Michael, her father, who had followed his daughter, wrestled the buck away from the women by holding the antlers.
注意:
1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2) 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

Alexis helped Sue up the slope.
