4 . Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit. While you 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 this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but sitting for long periods of time will hurt you forever.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones(骨盆) to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine(脊椎), this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get painful or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins(静脉) and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling 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 will also save your health in the long run.

5 . Michael J. Fox was at the height of his career when he developed Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) in 1991. Since then, he has been fighting the disease and has not lost his love for life.
After his diagnosis (诊断), Michael concealed his illness for several years in order not to risk his career as an actor. His diagnosis didn’t become public until 1999. To this day, he has done his best not to be influenced by his illness as much as possible and has worked both in front of the camera and as a voice actor.
Michael said in an interview with the American magazine Haute Living in 2016: “I realize now that I can play anybody, as long as they have Parkinson’s.” Like the role of “Louis Canning” in The Good Wife, which he played from 2010 to 2016. For his role of the lawyer (律师), who suffers from the side effects of medication(药物) to treat Parkinson’s, he was nominated (提名) five times for an Emmy.
Michael has shown the doctors who said that he would not be able to work ten years after the diagnosis that this is not the case. He has found the right way to deal with Parkinson’s disease for him: Humor.
In an interview in March 2017, he joked about moments in his everyday life where he is controlled by his illness. “The thing that makes it funny to me is when I think about someone else watching all this and thinking, Poor Michael can’t even get the coffee — it’s so sad!”, explains the 59-year-old.
Since his diagnosis became public, Michael has devoted himself to Parkinson’s research. In 2000, he founded the Michael Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease. By the end of 2018, 800 million US dollars had already been collected.

10 . How to Prevent New Coronavirus(冠状病毒)?
New coronavirus is a member of the coronavirus family that cause conditions like the common cold, SARS and other respiratory(呼吸的) conditions. While new coronavirus can be serious, taking preventative measures can help you protect your health at home.

Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. You may come into contact(接触) with the new coronavirus on a surface, like a door handle or countertop. When this happens, the bacteria can stay on your hands, so you can easily infect yourself if you touch your face with dirty hands.
Stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing.

A.Try not to worry too much if you’re not truly at risk. |
B.Don’t run the risk of handling an animal that might be ill. |
C.Use a spray disinfectant or wet wipes to clean the surfaces daily. |
D.Call your doctor if you suspect that you are hit by new coronavirus. |
E.Avoid touching your eyes,nose and mouth in case the virus is on your skin. |
F.The best way to prevent new coronavirus is to wash your hands as often as possible. |
