warning they can also become a key health concern.
Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and
straps have become longer, resulting in many users complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems.
"I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and
pick it up," said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas. "We
take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they"re anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds. We"re really going
to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big purse craze."
William Case, a physical therapist (临床医生) in private practice in Houston, Texas, urged designers "to
place a cute, educational caution tag (标签) on all bags to inform buyers of potential neck and shoulder
dangers." Above all, he suggested correct posture while carrying big purses, keeping the head and shoulders
upright. Patients should also often change the size and weight of purses carried.
"The extra-large purses are quite extraordinary. They look beautiful when the women wear them, but I
don"t know how aware they are of the potential problems," Case said.
Placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient (高效率的) ways of carrying a load,
according to a professor from Cornell University in New York State. "This causes a great imbalance," he said.
"If a big bag is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If not, then keep it light."

something that many long-distance runners have as a goal. Now if you decide you want to train for a marathon,
how do you go about getting yourself into excellent shape for the race of your life?
Most marathon training schedules last around 20 weeks and are designed for runners who can run 4-5 days
per week. The secret of a successful training schedule lies in avoiding injury that can happen through pushing
yourself too fast or too hard. So, the idea is to increase your mileage gradually from, let"s say,20 miles per week
up to runs of 50 miles per week at some point before the actual marathon. Alternate (交替) hard days with easy
days: an easy day could be a day off altogether or something else like a three-mile run which, although it might
not seem to be really worth the effort to some of you, actually is a joy to do.
Be careful how you warm up and slow down, because these are the times when injuries could happen. When
you set off for a run, take the first mile slowly and when you break into a sweat, stop and do some stretching
exercises for a couple of minutes. Always take the last mile slowly too-if you stop suddenly after a hard run,
then those of you who might have heart attacks are putting yourselves at greater risk at the point. One word of
warning: don"t start a training schedule without some guidance from a properly qualified trainer. He or she will
be able to tell you what you"re doing right or wrong! Remember that under normal circumstances, health
benefits from regular running are an increased sense of energy and well being, together with fitness.
B. there should be some easy days rather than hard days
C. the training period should last for three weeks
D. a short run can be a pleasant experience
B. building up speed
C. running hard
D. sweating a lot
B. young athletes
C. people already involved in running
D. athletics trainers
B. be able to win a marathon
C. feel better and more energetic
D. become a faster runner
they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed.
They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often
new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very
bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which
showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes
produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the
causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries;
however,the new rules came too late to protect the people who had died or become seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S.,
for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems.
It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs
that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any
companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers.
B. were worse off
C. affected more people"s health
D. put out more unhealthy products.
B. seldom introduced safety laws before disasters occurred
C. hardly ever looked into the causes of tragedies
D. imposed safety rules as soon as disasters occurred
B. changes in the development of industries
C. the protection of industrial workers and customers
D. the freedom of industries
B. criticize
C. entertain
D. persuade
in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.
Not all cases of Alzheimer"s disease look like this, but Alzheimer"s is a serious disease that is said to be the
fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.
It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer"s. In the early stages,
people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry.
As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all.
This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.
While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain"s nerve fibers, their effect is certain.
Alzheimer"s destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.
What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person
examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer"s disease.
Though many reasons other than Alzheimer"s disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis (诊断)
and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.
What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer"s disease? A person will
often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease,
you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn"t remember you are married.
Life for the Alzheimer"s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses,
bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them
honestly will serve one better than burying them.
B. She was sad about the death of her father.
C. She can"t search for her father without being watched.
D. She suffers from Alzheimer"s disease.
B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings
C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years
D. they will forget everybody but their spouses
B. from sadness,shock,anger, and so on
C. for a number of reasons
D. with changes in personality
B. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain"s nerve fibers
C. nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer"s disease
D. when one suffers from Alzheimer"s disease, he will be buried
morning, you are not alone. Many kids in the United States do not get enough sleep.
Your body needs sleep-and lots of it! "Evidence (证据) shows that elementary-age children need at
least nine hours of sleep per night," said sleep expert Dr. Carl Hunt.
Kids who do not sleep enough cannot do their best, experts say. A tired kid may be moody and act
badly. Being tired can also cause kids to forget things, have trouble learning, and have trouble playing
sports.
Not sleeping enough can also affect kids" safety. Experts say children who are tired are more likely
to suffer injuries.
Lots of kids lose sleep because they are busy. Many take part in after-school activities. Then they
go home, eat dinner, and do homework. Afterward, many kids watch TV, play video games, and surf
the Internet. That leaves less time for sleep.
Sometimes you may not be able to go to bed early. But, if you get a choice whether to stay up late,
think twice. A good night"s sleep can help you feel your best!
B. Turn off the TV
C. Children Dream
D. Kids Have Busy Lives
B. They are busy all day.
C. They get up early to do their homework.
D. They stay up late reading.
B. You may have an easier time learning.
C. You may be less likely to get injured.
D. All of the above.
telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some
of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now
report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one
carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you, too. It can kill the
type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom" s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of
children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no
danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes. However, sticky sweets made with grains tend
to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don"t hold water, there is still a lot of
truth in the old wives" tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated from thousands of years
of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear
scientific support to prove it true or false.
B. Sticky sweets are damaging our teeth.
C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
B. to be valuable
C. to be admirable
D. to be suitable
B. Objective
C. Dissatisfied
D. Curious
