上海牛津高一英语专项练习（阅读） Reading Comprehension Passage One Many people hurt their backs when they try to lift heavy things from the floor. It is easy to hurt your back muscles when you pick up a heavy object. However, there is a correct way to lift things from the floor if you pick up or lift heavy objects correctly, you probably will not hurt your back. To lift something from the floor correctly, first bend your knees and squat down. Keep your back straight. Do not bend over from your waist; keep your back and hips and waist in a line. If you bend over, the muscles in your lower back can become wounded very easily. If you keep your back and hips stronger, they have much more support. The other muscles can then help the lower back muscles. As you squat down, try to get as close to the object as possible. For example, if you are going to pick up a heavy box, squat down directly in front of it. Maybe you will have to spread your knees and legs. Put one knee on each side of the box. Remember at all times to keep your back straight. Put your hands under the objects that is in front of you, between your knees. To lift objects, you should stand up slowly. Use your leg muscles in order to stand up. In other words, lift with your legs, not with your back. 1. If you try to lift heavy things from the floor, ______. A. you will hurt your back B. you may hurt your back C. you must hurt your back D. you never hurt your back 2. According to the passage, how can you avoid hurting yourself while lifting things from the floor? A. To get yourself insured. B. Never to lift heavy things. C. To use the correct way to lift things. D. To do body exercises to have more strength. 3 To lift a heavy object mainly depends on your _______. A. legs B. back C. knees D. hands 4. To lift a heavy box, the most important thing you should do is ______. A. to put your hands under the box B. to bend your knees and squat down C. to put one knee on each side of it D. to keep your back straight at all times
