32、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 is too late,” said Dr. Casey Kerrigan, leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical Sc

33、hools 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 s

34、tudy, 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 womens knees by both types of shoes. The women also walked barefoot to test normal pressure. The scientist

35、s 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(关节炎), experts say.The idea that high heels are bad for y

36、our health isnt 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, Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthr

37、itis, 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

38、shoes of any kind are not good for our health,” said Dr. Glenn Pfeifer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.53.

41、gh-heelsCOvercoming feelings of defeat is not only possible, but very important as we want to prevent the “other side” of being bipolar(两极性的) getting you down. Such feelings and thoughts can cause a major depressive episode(抑郁阶段)；so we must look at the events and possibly poor decisions and impulse

42、behaviors of the manic(狂躁的)episode from a balanced and objective view. We can then correct and improve our prevention and action plans to prevent another manic episode from being caused in the future.There are two areas that you will want to focus on while recovering from a manic episode. The first

43、is self-education. And the second is the education of your family and friends. Your self-education process will consist of taking an objective look at recent events. Take note of what you were thinking and feeling. Note your triggers. Track your recent behaviors, especially the ones that might have

44、caused negative responses from family and friends. You cannot change anything in the past or the events that have led to here and now. But you can move them aside from yourself and look at the events from an objective point of view and assess the distorted(扭曲的) thoughts that you have had. You can th

45、en assess what caused distorted thinking that might have led to bad behaviors. You can assess what makes you feel vulnerable (易受伤害的). From this information you can change your wellness and action plan and make adjustments to your lifestyle and relationships to prevent another manic episode or to tea

46、ch other people how to help you.This leads us to the second area of focus-educating your friends and family. There is no better time than the present for this. Consider setting an appointment with your therapist(精神治疗家) and asking your most trusted family member, your spouse or a very trusted friend,

47、 to come with you to an appointment. During this appointment, you will have your therapist share with your loved one to receive first-hand education about your condition and they will clearly know that you need support and understanding. This is beyond simple psycho-education about bipolar disorder

48、and what bipolar disorder is. Indeed, your family, loved ones, spouse and friends, will benefit from learning this and I encourage you to encourage them to attend family support groups where they will learn more and more. but in addition to this, appointments with your therapist can make a huge diff

49、erence. Over time, you might even be able to persuade your family to get involved in family therapy with you.Remember, your past does not define you. Your mental illness does not define who you are as a human being. You were born with innate (先天的)gifts and talents. You are a good human being and you

50、 deserve to be treated as such. So, you must also treat yourself with love, respect and understanding. Often, it is the sufferer who is hardest on himself or herself. Check your negative thoughts and thoughts of self-judgment and criticism, and use your positive thinking skills to change those. Get

51、back into the world, volunteer and visit friends.56. What is the “other side” of being bipolar? A. Depressive and manic episodes. B. Ideas and feelings in your inner heart. C. The positive aspects of your emotions. D. A balanced and objective view of point.57. What does the underlined word “triggers

52、” refer to? A. The devices which cause explosion. B. Factors that cause something to happen. C. Changes that your self-education brings. D. Behaviors that influence your wellness.58. How to have self-education when you have feelings of defeat? A. Contacting your therapist and following his / her adv

53、ice. B. Facing reality and adjusting yourself and the relationship with others. C. Refusing those negative feelings and strong responses from others. D. Ignoring your past bad behaviors and asking other people for help.59. What is the purpose of the education of your family and friends? A. To tell t

54、hem that your situation is not awful at all. B. To ask your therapist to persuade them to be strong. C. To beg them not to give you up or look down on you. D. To let them know your situation and help you get through it.60. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us to do? A. Try to get back into yo

55、ur familiar world. B. Believe in yourself and reduce your stress. C. Participate in the volunteer work actively. D. Believe that there will be no difficulty with the help of friends.DIt was eleven oclock that night when Mr. Pontellier returned from his night out. He was in an excellent humor, in hig

56、h spirits, and very talkative. His entrance awoke his wife, who was in bed and fast asleep when he came in. He talked to her while he undressed, telling her anecdotes and bits of news and gossip that he had gathered during the day. She was overcome with sleep, and answered him with little half utter

57、ances.He thought it very discouraging that his wife, who was the sole object of his existence, showed so little interest in things which concerned him and valued so little his conversation.Mr. Pontellier had forgotten the candies and peanuts that he had promised the boys. Still, he loved them very m

58、uch and went into the room where they slept to take a look at them and make sure that they were resting comfortably. The result of his investigation was far from satisfactory. He turned and shifted the youngsters about in bed. One of them began to kick and talk about a basket full of crabs.Mr. Ponte

59、llier returned to his wife with the information that Raoul had a high fever and needed looking after. Then he lit his cigar and went and sat near the open door to smoke it.Mrs. Pontellier was quite sure Raoul had no fever. He had gone to bed perfectly well, she said, and nothing had made him sick. M

60、r. Pontellier was too well familiar with fever symptoms to be mistaken. He assured her the child was burning with fever at that moment in the next room.He reproached his wife with her inattention, her habitual neglect of the children. If it was not a mothers place to look after children, whose on ea

61、rth was it? He himself had his hands full with his business. He could not be in two places at once; making a living for his family on the street, and staying home to see that no harm done to them. He talked in a dull, repeated and insistent way.Mrs. Pontellier sprang out of bed and went into the next room. She soon came back and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning her head down on the pillow. She said nothing, and refused to answer her husband when he questioned her. When his cigar was smoked out, he went to bed, and in half a minute was fast asleep.Mrs. Pontellier was by that time th
