many ugg-enthusiasts dont know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.dr. ian drysdale, head of the british college of osteopathic medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “these boots are not designed for outside wear. just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesnt mean its good or right, ” he said, “the particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. its a slipper. you wouldnt normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something thats indoor. if you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say its not a good idea.” dr. drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “ plastic ” and developing when they are growing. “if that structure is developing in an inappropriate way,” he said, “then the ultimate structure will be deformed ”mike oneill, a consultant surgeon, said, “as the foot slides around, you get wear and tear (磨损）on the joints on the inside of the foot the ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems. ”ugg australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told the daily mirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs”（仿制品) which lack reinforced heels in their boots.64.teenage girls prefer to wear ugg boots because of the following except_a.designb. comfortc. qualityd. warmth65.according to dr. ian drysdale, _a.there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in ugg bootsb.wearing ugg boots will lead to more ankle and toe problemsc.its not a good idea to wear boots like ugg outside all the timed.teenage girls bones are plastic enough to wear ugg boots66.the underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to_a.

important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor lives of their children. one place where children soak up a characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. too many schools adopt the win at all costs moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. the current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive a types seem in some way better than their b-type fellows. being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying:rejoice, we conquer!. by far the worst form of competition in school is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. it is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. the merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful. obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all a youngsters change into bs. the world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to
