While you
25、 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 for this is that the blood in y
26、our legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that 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 immediat
27、e effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don’t keep your legs crossed. “Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and
28、along the outside of your leg,” explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis(麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling
29、 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 wil

When the movie was over, the crowd made for the exits. A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet
61、floor” sign in the slippery area. No one slipped due to the wet conditions, but someone did manage to knock over the sign. And by the time Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor. And shortly thereafter, so was she. Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell. Unfo
62、rtunately Ms. Brown had undergone a back operation, and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have. So she and her husband sued(提起訴訟). AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” sign above was to warn of danger, and therefore, courts should encourage the use by not allowing B
63、rown’s case to proceed(繼續(xù)進行). AMC referred to a case about a December, 1998 incident, where a “wet floor” sign, not in use, fell to the floor causing another trip-and-fall. In that case, Georgia’s Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store, but didn’t go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs co
64、uldn’t give rise to legal liability(責(zé)任) in trip-and-fall accidents. In the Brown case, the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMC’s argument that the former case applied. But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was, itself, dangerous, because “using this type of sign in a
65、reas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危險).” That’s right—the safety sign, used in the way it was designed, was itself dangerous. The court thankfully didn’t accept that argument, at least not entirely. But it d
66、id conclude that Brown’s case could continue to a jury(陪審團)—“a merchant’s selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”. 【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文主要介紹了布朗夫人在美國一家AMC影院看完電影離開時,被“小心地滑”的指示牌絆倒受傷后,向法院提起訴訟的原因以及法院的審判結(jié)果。 5.According to the text, Ms. Brown________. A.slipped on the wet floor B.tripped over a warning sign C.knocked over a warning sign D.was knocked down by the crowd B 解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“...Ms. Brown got to the area,
