feet， but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them As a result， about 300 million children around the world go barefoot Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soilAn American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids a shoe that grows with the child Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so longIt grows in three places： the front； it can also grow on the side with Velcro； and on the back with our buckle It can last up to five years The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber The top is just highquality leather The shoe comes in two sizes： small that fits children aged 4to 9and large for children aged 9to 14Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out And I just remember thinking， wouldnt it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet？However， Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that Finally， in 2009 Lee founded a nonprofit organization called Because International In the office of Because International， Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done So， those are the shoes that I

doing all of this waiting， and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours？ To understand the issue， lets take a look at three types of waitsThe very purest form of waiting is the WatchedPot Wait It is without doubt the most annoying of all Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池） as an example There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its full During these waits， the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindlessA cousin to the WatchedPot Wait is the Forced Wait This one requires a bit of discipline Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait Directions are very specific Bring three cups of water to boil， add mix， simmer three minutes， remove from heat， let stand five minutesI have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly After all， Forced Waiting requires patiencePerhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the LuckyBreak Wait This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary Unlike the Forced Wait， which is also voluntary， waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happenTurning ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope， and is strictly for the optimists among us On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes， but the LuckyBreak Wait well serves those who are willing to do it As long as one doesnt come to rely on it， wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky， dont be desperate Youre probably just as busy as the next guy28 While doing a WatchedPot Wait， we tend to A keep ourselves busy B get absentmindedC grow anxious D stay focused29 What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the WatchedPot Wait？ A The Forced Wait requires some selfcontrolB The Forced Wait makes people passiveC The WatchedPot Wait needs directionsD The WatchedPot Wait engages body and brain30 What can we learn about the LuckyBreak Wait？ A It is less voluntary than the Forced WaitB It doesnt always bring the desired resultC It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait D It doesnt give people faith and hope31 The author supports his view by A exploring various causes of waits B describing detailed processes of waitsC analyzing different categories of waitsD revealing frustrating consequences of waits32A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at nightResearchers have discovered that night milk contains more melatonin（褪黑激素）， which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxietyThe study， by researchers from Seoul， South Korea， involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at nightThose given night milk， which contained 10times the amount of melatonin， were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime， according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal FoodNight milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longerWhile the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now， taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at nightPrevious studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content， which helps people to relaxMilk is also sugarfree and additivefree with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening The more fat you take in before bedtime， the greater burden you will put on your body at night32According to the text， the mice fed with daytime milk A started sleep more easily B were more anxiousC were less active D woke up later33Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text？ A Its been tested on mice for ten timesB It can make people more energeticC It exists in milk in great amountD Its used in sleeping drugs34What can be a suitable title for the text？ A Night Milk and Sleep B Fat， Sugar and HealthC An Experiment on Mice D Milk Drinking and Health35How does the author support the theme of the text？ A By giving examples B By stating argumentsC By explaining statistical data D By providing research results第二节 （满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项36Every animal sleeps， but the reason for this has remained foggy When lab rats are not allowed to sleep， they die within a month （36） One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories （37） We know that， while awake， fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing （加强） connections between brain cells， but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclearSupport is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons（神经元） in the brain can be weakened overnight， making room for fresh memories to form the next day （38） Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right （39） The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 percent smaller than those taken before sleep， showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleepingIf Tononis theory is right， it would explain why， when we miss a nights， we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information our brains may have smaller room for new experiencesTheir research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size （40） You keep what matters， Tononi saysA We should also try to sleep well the night beforeB Its as if the brain is preserving its most important memoriesC Similarly， when people go for a few days without sleeping， they get sickD The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memoriesE Thats why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learningF Sleep is the price we pay for learning， says Giulio Tononi， who developed the ideaG Tononis team measured the size of these connections， or synapses， in the brains of 12mice第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（共20
