The tissue that protects the joints in the spine gradually breaks dow n. As a con seque nee, the bon es, in the spine begi n to rub aga inst each other. This further harms that issue as well as the bon es. The result is pain in the joints and, sometimes, in n erves n ear the spine.This painful problem is actually a disease called osteoporosis. Some people are more at risk ofosteoporosis because of genes that they in herited from their an cestors. Extremely heavy people are also more likely to suffer from this disease because their extra weight puts much pressure on their joints. Fortunately, there are steps that people can take to help prevent osteoporosis from develop ing in their spine.The most important step is exercise. Stretches can help the muscles around the spine relax and allow bones to shift into better alignment(排歹U ), Strength exercises with light weights or bodyweight exercises like pushups can also help by stre ngthe ning the muscles around the spine. However, people should not overdo these exercises as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine. Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect.Another important factor is diet. It affects the health of spine because many vitamins are n ecessary for bones and n erves. These in clude B vitam ins and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which helps keep nerves healthy. People can get more B vitamin and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores. Another important factor is vitamin D. which is essential for strong bones. All of these vitamins and acids can be obtained from food. Thus people can help themselves by in cludi ng them in their daily diets.56 What does this article mainly expla in?A. Various aspects of a medical con diti on.B.

What does the article imply about suppleme nt?A. They are mai nly for youn gsters.B. They are commercial products.C. They are now being researched.D. They are seldom truly effective(B)In late March of 2018, a tear in the earth about 15 meters wide and 20 meters deep sudde nly appeared in Keny a, it cut across roads and eve n split houses in two. This crack appeared out of no where after heavy rai ns and an in crease in seismic activity. Some scie ntists believe that it is further proof that Africa is slowly splitti ng apart.Once a very long time ago, Africa and south America were one Ian dmass before they separated.Similarly, one day in the very distant future, a large part of East Africa will split off from the restof the con ti nent. This will create a new Ian dmarks and a new ocea n. The breakup is the result of plate tect onics, the gradual moti on of differe nt parts of the Earth's crust.Whe n plates of the Earth separate and tear away from each other. It is called rifting. The resultis rift valley. Scie ntists don't un dersta nd the exact mecha nism beh ind rifting. But the result is very easy to observe in the East Africa n Rift System(EARS), That's why study ing this part of the world is so importa nt.The East African Rift system begins in the north in Ethiopia, where three plates are movingaway from each other. Two of them are con ti nen tal plates, the Africa n and Arabia n plates. Theyare tectonic plates that have a large Iandmass above water. The third is the Somali plate, con sidered a minor plate, which is steadily movi ng away from the other two. But don't pla n on visit ing the new ocea n any time soon. The plates are mov ing at a rate of about 6 millimeters a year. At the speed millions of years will pass before a new ocean is formed.EARS is not all bad news for Kenya. A rift valley is composed of an area where there isin creased volca nic activity and thi nned pla netary crust. This makes it easier to take adva ntage of the power of steam. For Kenya, this might be an answer to the country's electrical problems. The drought conditions that frequently occur there make it difficult to produce energy. But the geothermal(地热的)power plants going online in 2019 will allow them to produce clean energy with very little water.60 What can be con cluded from the passage?A. A war will certa in ty breakout in Africa.B. A disaster will sudde nly strike Africa.C. A geological structure will cha nge in Africa.D. A new country will come into being in Africa61 Which of the follow ing plates might be surroun ded by water accord ing to the passage?A. East Africa.B. Somali plate.C. Arabia n plate.D. Africa plate.62. What problem may be solved in Kenya tha nks to the crack ing?A. Poverty.B. Economy.C. Drought.D. En ergy.(C)Are you worried about mon ey? If so, I have so me good n ews for you.

Let's look at gett ing it un der con trol. If it's making you crazy, it can make your family a little crazy too. This type of an xious ness is passed on to others, which is importa nt to remember whe never you have the urge to share your fears.TOO MUCH INFORMATIONTMI （too much information） happens because it seems that by releasing Pent-up（压抑的）feeli ngs of an xiety you will feel better and hopefully more supported and that this can happe n but not with your loved ones because they will take all your fair and magnify it. Talk in stead with your financial advisor, your bank manager or your therapist. Laying your financial fears at the feet of your family is not good for them or for you. Yes, be hon est about any problems, but if you get emoti on al, so will those closest to youPOSITIVE ACTIONIt's hard to be this passi on ate about mon ey, but hon estly, it's really the best way to get this issue solved.

Dealing with money worriesSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more senten ces tha n you n eed.Guilt is one of the most painful emotions that human experience but also one of the most com mon. Nobody enjoys feeli ng guilty, but this emoti on serves an importa nt purpose: It alerts a pers on whe n he or she has done somethi ng wrong. This en ables the pers on to make ame nds and work to heal relati on ships that were damaged by their actions____________________________________________________ 67 ___Nevertheless, guilt can be destructive if it is not dealt with in the right way, It can cause people to avoid others because they are too embarrassed to apologize for their actions or inactions. Some try to avoid at the pain of duty by turning to other worse habits. ___________________________________ 68 ___The proper response to guilt depends on what kind of guilt you're dealing with. For false guilty, it's importa nt to recog nize that the guilt does not reflect an actual ethical failure.For example, some false guilt focuses on failing to meet expectations you had for yourself. 69 No one is perfect, and no one can do everything, so admitting your limits is actually a sig n of humility.It is also importa nt to ack no wledge what you're feeli ng. Even whe n you don't n eed to feel guilty, these feeli ngs are real and no rmal, Try to bala nce them with positive thoughts, but realize that it often takes time for feelings to change.___ 70 _ If so, don't try to con ceal it. Apologize and ask for forgiven ess. Lear n from your mistakes, and try to avoid committing the same acts again. Getting on well with the person you hurt should make you guilty feeli ng fade.Guilt is painful, but it can serve a good purpose if you use it wellIV.

The fisherman who found her called for help, and the rescue team soon arrived. The ropes had cut off the blood circulati on to her tail. She was badly hurt. Her rescuers did n't think she would survive. Hoping for a miracle and racing against time to save her, the rescuers transferred her to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida.The doctors man aged to save Win ter, but sadly, not her tail.

Than kfully the story does n't end here. Win ter was able to swim, but not very well. Because she did n't have a tail. She moved her body in a side-to-side motio n like a shark. But doctors at the aquarium were worried that unconven ti onal mome nt would hurt her spine.Kevin Carroll heard Win ter's story and for thought, he would could help. He is a specialist who desig ns and provides prostheses for people. If he could help people, why not help a dolphi n? He started work ing with Win ter and came up with a soluti on for the new fluke and tail sect ion Kevin designed a stretchy sleeve to fit winter's body and protect her skin.
