This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.
The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors (传感器) record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.
The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.
Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”
Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around £120, which will go on sale in March.
1.What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to?
A. People who are disabled.
B. People who are interested in dancing.
C. People who are not good at dancing.
D. People who invented the socks.
2.What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of?
A. They feel much softer than normal clothes.
B. They can monitor the movement of feet.
C. They are expensive to produce.
D. They act as a smart phone for users.
3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?
A. They can improve the skill of running.
B. They can help women walk better in high heels.
C. They can teach people to dance well.
D. They can be worn for days without washing.
4.According to Dr Vigano, ________.
A. everyone can make good use of the smart socks
B. users can run as fast as they like with the socks
C. 60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socks
D. no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks

“Beating is a sign of affection，cursing (骂) is a sign of love.”
Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been—but experts say they still ring true.
Today，it seems，Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre?college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.
“Good education doesn't mean letting your children enjoy privileges，especially our boys.” said Song Wenming，an entrepreneur (企业家) in Jinhua，East China's Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”
In August，Song sent his 17?year?old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone，even though it takes a lot of money—around $48,000 per year—to send a child to a strict military school.
Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.
A few years ago，there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today，there are 28. “All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families；some of them were spoiled.” said Jennifer Myers，director of marketing and communications at the school.
Song's only son，Song Siyu，had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.
Now，three months later，he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds，finishing a meal without looking at his food，and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism，no matter how unreasonable.
“The training is hard but I know it is good for self?development of individuals.” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character；they are not personal.”
But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.
But for those who stick with it，there is a reward for all the hard work.
1.From the second paragraph，we can know the old Chinese saying ________.
A．is out of date in modern times
B．is disagreed by rich parents
C．is still worth trusting
D．is deeply believed by better educated parents
2.The underlined sentence means that ________.
A．Song sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonely
B．Song is the only one who sends his child to military school
C．there are other people sending their children to military school besides Song
D．the fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it
3.Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school except ________.
A．taking a bath in a short time
B．improving his character
C．taking unreasonable criticism
D．having his meal with his eyes closed
4.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A．It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.
B．Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.
C．Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.
D．Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.

Simple Ways You Can Avoid Overeating During Holidays
The holidays are all about best purpose: early finish of shopping, mailing cards on time, and what is the most important one—surviving the year’s fat-filled feeding race. Sorry, we can’t help licking envelopes or shopping that is up to you! But we can arm you with these smart eating tips for indulging(大吃大喝) without weight gain.
__1.__ The worst thing you can do is stand around the table at a party and dip into the bowl. You will have no idea how much you are really eating unless you do put your choices on the plate.
Calm yourself. __2.__ When someone gets third or orders that second glass of wine, you can go along them naturally. Why do we eat more than we think? If you are surrounded by fast eaters, take a half glass of water between bites to slow down.
Reduce those portions. Choose the smallest plate as possible. __3.__ It has been tested out that whether it is popcorn or even spaghetti the bigger the plate, package or bowl is, the more you are likely to eat.
_4.__ Variety might be the best of life, but it is also a recipe for overeating. Researchers found that adults who were offered sandwiches with four different kinds of filling ate a second more than those who got only their favorite ones. So the advice is to pack together similar tastes.
Don’t talk with your mouth full. One of the best ways to keep from employing yourself at a big family dinner is great conversation. So as Mom used to say, before you start chatting first finish chewing. When you talk and eat at the same time, you are not really paying attention to either of them. __ 5.__
A. Control your choices.
B. Always pick up the special food.
C. You look pretty unpleasant as well.
D. Your eyes can trick the stomach.
E. Get away from the table.
F. Feel the taste of each bite.
G. Take your seat near the slowest eater at the table.
