Ok I hope you are ready to read cause this passage is very long! Ok just tell me when you are done ok. Here it is: Whether you’re an athlete, a busy mom chasing young children, or an employee whose job keeps you on your feet, you most likely suffer occasionally from sore feet. Chronic foot pain, however, is a condition that can affect your daily routine. This serious affliction can impact your entire body, leading to discomfort in the knees, hips, and lower back.

2Today, many products claim to alleviate foot pain and correct posture to realign your body. If you watch television late at night, you’ve probably seen advertisements for the Pro Walk orthopedic inserts. This infomercial claims that these plastic inserts “offer support for your feet, correcting your gait and stabilizing your spine.” The advertisement also maintains that the inserts provide enhanced protection for the feet, absorbing some of the shock produced by standing, walking, and running. The Pro Walk Web site contains many positive assessments of the product’s benefits from anonymous consumers, but we wanted to evaluate the claims for ourselves.

3To analyze this product, we turned to sixteen-year-old high school student Christian Johnson. Like many students, Christian is extremely busy. Besides going to school, he also participates in a number of extracurricular activities, including soccer and track and field. On the weekends, he waits tables at his uncle’s diner to help save money for college.

4 “A long shift at the diner or a rough practice can really exasperate the discomfort I feel in my feet,” Christian explains. “Usually, I will do some stretching to try and relieve the pain.” Christian also attributes some of the pain in his hips to the problems he has with his feet.

5The skeptical teenager agrees to wear the Pro Walk inserts for a week and report his findings to us. On the first day, Christian noticed some tenderness in his feet. While he acknowledged that the inserts supported his arches, he felt slight pain on the sides of his feet. Feeling that the product was too narrow, Christian returned the Pro Walk inserts to the store and exchanged them for a larger size.

6Luckily, the larger size seemed to fit Christian’s feet perfectly. He decided to wear them to a soccer scrimmage in the park. He didn’t perceive any muscle tension or discomfort during the game, though he admitted that the feeling of the hard plastic under his feet was a little aggravating at first. The teen seemed optimistic about testing the inserts during a strenuous day at the diner. On Saturday, Christian wore the Pro Walk orthotics for the duration of his eight-hour shift.

7At the end of the seven-day trial, Christian reported a significant improvement in his posture and a sharp decline in foot soreness. Not only did the Pro Walk provide support around Christian’s arches, but he also noticed a reduction in the pain he felt in his hips. He believes that the product is even improving his coordination.

8After hearing Christian’s praise of the product, we contacted a local podiatrist to get her take on the Pro Walk. For decades, Dr. Ernestine Campbell has recommended orthotics to patients with flat feet or similar conditions. While Dr. Campbell believes that the Pro Walk can provide legitimate relief for people who suffer from chronic foot pain, she stresses the importance of finding an orthotic that fits your feet properly. Maladjusted inserts can have disastrous results, causing more pain and suffering for the wearer.

9Overall, the Pro Walk inserts seem to do just what they claim. Remember that every individual’s feet are different, so it’s important that you find a product that works for you.

I have other questions and passages too

Answer 7

d and then i think d

Answer 8

Ok here is the other one:
1 No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

2 Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

3 I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

4 They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

5 It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
