【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。

文章介绍了人们将一条腿放在另一条腿上（跷二郎腿）的习惯，这种行为会导致一些健康问题。

【难句分析】　Thereasonforthisisthatthebloodinyourlegshastoworkagainstgravitytobepumpedbacktoyourheartandthatcrossingonelegovertheotherincreasesresistance,makingitevenharderforthebloodtocirculate.

本句是一个主从复合句。

两个that引导的都是表语从句，makingit...tocirculate为现在分词短语作结果状语。

这是因为腿部的血液要回流到心脏，就要与重力对抗，并且把一条腿放在另一条腿上会加剧这种对抗，这使得血液循环更难了。

slegs?

A．Itisaverybadsocialhabit.

B．Itcandoharmtopeople'

shealth.

C．Itisusuallypracticeddeliberately.

D．Itcanmakeothersfeeluncomfortable.

根据文章前三段内容可知，人们将一条腿放在另一条腿上（跷二郎腿）会使血压上升，给腿部和脚部的某些神经带来压力，引起健康问题。

故选B项“它可能对人们的健康有害”。

6．Accordingtothestudy,sittingwithyourlegscrossedcan________.

A．affectyourbloodpressure

B．resistgravityeffectively

C．leadtoheartattackseasily

D．improvethefunctionoflegs

根据第二段第一句“AstudypublishedinBloodPressureMonitoringstatedthatsittingwithyourlegscrossedcanincreaseyourbloodpressure”可知，一项研究表明跷二郎腿会让血压升高。

故选A。

7．Inthethirdparagraph“pinsandneedles”probablymeans________.

A．beinghighlyflexible　　　B．beingalittletired

C．seriousmuscleinjuriesD．slightsharppains

D　考查词义猜测。

根据上文可知，将一条腿放到另一条腿上所产生的这种压力会使得脚部、腿部某些肌肉无知觉、麻痹阻止你抬起脚踝，从而引起疼痛。

故选D项“轻微的刺痛”。

8．Whatisthemainpurposeofthetext?

A．Tocomparecommonhabits.

B．Toevaluatetheeffectsofanexperiment.

C．Togivereaderssomeadvice.

D．Tointroduceresearchmethods.
