combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. what 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.56.teenage girls prefer to wear ugg boots because of the following except_a.designb. comfortc. qualityd. warmth57.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 boots58.the underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to_a. shapedb. strengthenedc. reformedd. damaged59.which of the following can be the best title for the text?a. potential harm of ugg bootsb. the popularity of ugg bootsc.the unique design of ugg bootsd. benefits of ugg bootsbservice foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complaints. service foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips. according to a representative of service foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. as products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. the natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. according to service foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. kids may not have the words to describe why they dont like the meats, but theyre certainly willing to express their displeasure. by serving meats from service foods, complaints can be reduced. service foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste. and the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they wont taste strange to your children.if youre facing different types of complaints, service foods may still be able to help you. some families have mealtime boredom. the same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard to look forward to. when it comes to these complaints, service foods has the answer right on the web. just go to and youll find a long list of recipes to try. some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. by following these recipes from service foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced. while service foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need.60. service foods can solve mealtime boredom by _.a. serving flash-frozen meat b. expressing childrens complaints c. instructing different ways of cooking d. supplying

kids in the world”, amanda ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of tom, a high-school student from gettysburg, pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in wroclaw, poland. poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students test scores from significantly below average to well above it. polish kids have now outscored american kids in math and science, even though poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the united states does. one of the most striking differences between the high school tom attended in gettysburg and the one he ends up at in wroclaw is that the latter has no football team or teams of any kind. that american high schools spend more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. in december, when the latest program for international student assessment (pisa) results are announced, its safe to predict that american high-school students will once again show their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in poland but also by students in places like china, finland, singapore, and japan. meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers. why does this situation continue? well, for one thing, kids like it. and for another, according to ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. she describes a tour she took of a school in washington d.c., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. the tour leader a mother with three children in the school was asked about the schools flaws (瑕疵). when she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. when she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “really?” one of them asked worriedly, “what do you mean?” one of the ironies of the situation is that sports show what is possible. american kids performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. its too bad that their test scores show the same thing. 64. tom decides to spend his senior year in poland because _. a. he intends to improve his scores b. polish kids are better at learning c. sports are not supported at schools in gettysburg d. he wants to be the smartest kid in the world65. according to paragraph 2, we know that _. a. pisa plays a very important role in america b. little time is spent on sports in japanese schools c. american students do better in both math and sports d. too much importance is placed on sports in america66. the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _. a. low expectations result in american students poor pisa performance b. high expectations push up american students academic performance c. american students academic performance worries their parents a lot d. lacking practice contributes to american students average performance67. the purpose of this article is to _. a. compare polish schools with those in america b. call on american schools to learn from the polish model c. draw public attention to a weakness in american school tradition d. explain what is wrong with american schools and provide solutions dpersonality is, to large extent, inherent -a-type parents usually bring about a-type offspring. but the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is 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 int
