water taps in your house stop running. you have to buy water from shops. and still there isnt enough for everyone. your mother has to save the familys shower water to do other things. would you be able to stand that kind of life? probably not. but thats what kids in yemen are experiencing. experts said yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. according to a report, the capital, sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. hannan, an 18-year-old from lahej, told the times: “in a good week well have a water supply all week. but then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. they can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. private companies own the trucks. they travel around the city every day to sell water at very high prices.“a lot of people cant afford it,” she said.the average person in yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. that is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.the government is thinking of making use of seawater. but it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of yemen.46. the purpose of the text is to _.a. tell us what life is like in yemenb. draw our attention to water shortagec. remind us

water in 10 years b. hannan is a teenager from a rich familyc. the capital of yemen is developing fastd. private companies make a lot of moneydwhen movie star scarlett johansson was photographed naming in los angeles recently, she attracted a lot of attention; for the 27-year-old actress was wearing vibram fivefingers, so called because they look more like gloves than shoes, with a space for each toe.strange though they may look, these so-called barefoot shoes, which reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain, are just one brand in a range of minimalist footwear. these super-thin sports shoes are causing a stir in the world of running and fitness. why? because some experts believe they could make you a better, more efficient runner and that traditional trainers could be doing you more harm than good.wearing a shoe that has lots of cushioning and support affects the way your body naturally moves and studies suggest that this carries a higher risk of injury, explains matt wallden, an athlete performance expert. but with barefoot shoes, the foot can actually feel the firmness and shape of the ground, which allows your body to respond effectively.but before you rush out to invest in minimalist footwear, be careful. these kinds of shoes are not meant for everyone, or at least not straight away.ordinary sports shoes with support are good for beginners whose bodies are not used to the impact of running, explains patrick davoren, former olympic athlete. if you are not in great condition, then running in minimalist footwear may cause injuries and will turn a lot of people off exercise and running.if you are currently injured, and figures show that in any given year 65% of all runners are, it can be tempting to try anything that promises to get you back on the road, trail, or beach. but barefoot running is not a method of treating injury nor is it a magical way of suddenly turning you into a great athlete.even if youre used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually. start_offby doing just 10% of what youd normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10% every week. and a word of warning - you may never have soft feet again51. the vibram fivefingers are shoes _. a. specifically designed for women b. that have lots of cushion inside c. safest for people who enjoy sports d. that are much thinner than normal sports shoes52. the underlined word they in paragraph 2 refers to _. a. experts b. feet c. shoes d. runners53. according to matt wallden, the new shoes _. a. make feet more sensitive to the running surface b. will produce immediate improvements c. force your body to move less naturally d. increase the chances of getting hurt54. the author suggests that new users of vibram fivefingers should _. a. run in the shoes every day at top speed b. begin with a shorter running distance than normal c. occasionally run barefooted to harden their feet d. make sure they are already very fit before using them55. where would you probably read this article? a. a travel book. b. a movie website. c. a sports magazine. d. a science journal.
