Healthy knees aren’t the main consideration in choosing high heels,but new research says chunky 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 it is.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 of shoes 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 bare-foot 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 isn’t new—scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes,tendonitis,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 confirms 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 Orthopaedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.

We learn from the passage that women choose chunky heels because _________.

A.they want to walk comfortably

B.chunky heeled shoes are cheaper than stiletto heeled pairs

A.pressure on the foot is caused by high heels

B.the pressure is abnormal 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

It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A.people got to know the high heels are bad for health recently

B.people have known the high heels are bad for health for years

C.people haven’t known the high heels are bad for health yet

D.people will be warned that the high heels are bad for health soon

Kerrigan’s late study looked at the chunky high-heeled shoes because _________.

A.they feel more comfortable

B.they are related to knee osteoarthritis

C.they are worn by many women

D.they are different from stiletto heels

The best title for the passage may be _________.

A.Talking Healthy Knees into Consideration

B.High-heels Do Harm to Knees

Most kinds of rose plants come from Asia. But roses are also native to other areas including northwest Africa, Europe and the United States. In 1986, Congress chose the rose as America’s national flower. Technically, Congress and President Ronald Reagan declared it the “national floral emblem.” Whatever the name, the decision did not smell sweet to supporters of others popular flowers.

Some people say roses are difficult to grow. But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts. You should plant your roses where they can get sunshine for about six hours on bright days. You can buy roses form a garden center or by mail order. You can buy potted roses, also known as container roses, or bare-root plants. Each kind has its fans.

Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant. They say the roots develop better. But Jeffrey Dinslage, an expert, pint out that bare-root roses come without soil. So they weigh less to transport.

Another expert advises getting bare-foot roses as close to planting time as you can. If they arrive before you are ready to plant them, make sure the packing material is moist. Keep the plants in a cool, dark place. The resting plants have no leaves but still need water. When growing roses, the soil should feel moist deep down. Watering should be done in the morning.

But do not water too much. People often ask Jeffrey Dinslage about unhealthy discoloration on rose leaves. He says the spots are usually caused by too much water. After heavy rains or too much watering, he advises pulling away mulch, the substance used to protect the roots, temporarily from around the roots. This will help dry the soil.

1.From the first paragraph, we know that in the United States _______.

A. all the people like roses                  B. there are a lot of national flowers

C. some roses don’t smell sweet             D. there are some other popular flowers

2.Why does Jeffrey Dinslage suggest planting bare-root roses?

A. They are easier to plant.          B. Their roots develop better.

C. They are cheap to transport     D. Their leaves need no water

3.Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “moist”?

A. Slightly wet.    B. Pretty dry.     C. Too hard.      D. Lightly soft.

4.According to Jeffrey Dinslage, people should ______ to avoid the spots on the rose leaves.

A. not water roses in the morning             B. protect the roots of roses

C. improve the quality of the soil            D. not water roses very much
