bands, but if you have teenagers, youll know theyre actually the latest in teenage footwear. but experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future. here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers shoe choice. keds/vansslip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with keds and vans the most sought-after brands. the main problem is that they are just too flatso flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.ballet pumpsthe worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. the problem is partly their flatness, as with keds and vans. however ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems. “as the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait（步法）, this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses（茧子）, heel and knee pain.” wedges and stilettosthese shoes can also cause problems with gait. they may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearers body weight forward, making them very unstable.teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain. school shoesso what do

the toes, such as clarks, marks & spencer or rhino. if your teen insists on wearing bad shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. these support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage. 61. of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems? a. marks & spencer. b.

abdbb 6165 dbcac last night i was driving from harrisburg to lewisburg，a distance of about eighty miles. it was late. several times i got stuck behind a slow-moving tuck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and i became increasingly impatient.at one point along an open road, i came to a crossing with a traffic light. i was alone on the road by now, but as i drove near the light, it turned red and i made a stop. i looked left, right and behind me. nothing. not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there i sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.i started wondering why i refused to run the light. i was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.much later that night, the question of why id stopped for that light came back to me. i think i stopped because its part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. its not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we taut each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights.trust is our first inclination(倾向).doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. the whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust .we do what we say well do; we show up when we say well show up; and we pay when we say well pay. we trust each other in these matters, and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.i was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.63. why did the author get impatient while driving?a. he was lonely on the road.b. he was slowed down by a truck.c. he got tired of driving too long.d. he came across too many traffic lights.64. what was the authors immediate action when the traffic light turned red?a. stopping still.b. driving through it.c. looking around for other cars.d. checking out for traffic police.65. the event made the author strongly believe that _.a. traffic rules may be unnecessaryb. doubting others is human naturec. patience is important to driversd. a society needs mutual trust66. why was the author proud of himself?a. he kept his promise.b. he held back his anger.c. he followed his inclination.d. he made a right decision.参考答案badc *结束 grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. a man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. he can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. he can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. a mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins twinkle, twinkle, little star, or remember the story of cinderella or goldilocks and the three bears.one explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.in childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. we continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as cinderella and goldilocks. we not only learn but overlearn. the multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.the law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination. though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. by cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. a little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.67. what is the main idea of paragraph i?a. people remember well what they learned in childhood.b. children have a better memory than grown-ups.c. poem reading is a good way to learn words.d. stories for children arc easy to remember.68.the author explains the law of over learning by_.a. presenting research findingsb. selling down general rulesc. making a comparisond. using examples69. according to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.a. a result of over learningb. a special case of crammingc. a skill to deal with math problemsd. a basic step towards advanced studies70. what does the word they in paragraph 4 refer to?a. commonly accepted rules.b. the multiplication tables.c. things easily forgotten.d. school subjects.71. what is the authors opinion on cramming?a. it leads to failure in college exams.b. its helpful only in a limited way.c. its possible to result in poor memory.d. it increases students learning interest.参考答案adabb*结束 are you looking for some new and
