There is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back inyour step.Patients receiving joint implants(移植）often are able to resume many of thephysical activities they love,even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking.No wonder.then,that joint replacement is growing in popularity.

In the United States in 2007,surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implants(the joints most commonly replaced),double the number performed a decade earlier.Though these procedures have become routine,they are not failure free.

implants must sometimes be replaced,said Dr.Henrik Malchau,an orthopedic surgeon(矫形外科医生）at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.A study published in2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced withinseven and a half years.

The percentage may sound low,but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation,said Dr.Malchau.Those patients must endure additional recoveries,often painful,and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower,many experts agree.Sweden,for instance,has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States.Sweden also has a national jointreplacement registry,a database of information from which surgeons can learnhow and why certain procedures go wrongA registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whethera specifictype of implant is particularly problematic,"Every country that has developed aregistry has been able to reduce failure rates."

“Significantly,"said Dr.Daniel Berry,chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinicin Rochester,Minn.

A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data fromhospitals in the next 12 to 18 months.It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.1.What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U.S.?（）

6.The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each other’s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication.　　What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins’ intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway.　　Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers..Many people don’t know that .

11.Passage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar．So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too．Right? Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page．Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day．President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we could make this happen!What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?
