    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know they're 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/VANS

    Slip-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 flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.

    BALLET PUMPS

    The 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 STILETTOS

    These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer's 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 SHOES

    So what do podiatrists（足科医生）have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?

    Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark's, 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.

     

    1. Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?

      A. Marks & Spencer.                       B. Wedges & Stilettos.   

    C. Keds and Vans.                     D. Ballet Pumps.

    2. Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?

     

                                             

     

    3. The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _______.

    A. increase           B. worsen           C. stop           D. cure

    4. From this passage we can infer _______.

      A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ health

    B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them

      C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes

      D. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes

    5. In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?

      A. Sports.          B. Science.           C. Health.             D. Shopping.

    阅读理解。
         When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how
    do they operate?
         Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and
    tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel
    they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.
         Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If
    they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have
    succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner
    unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.
         The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use
    of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ
    them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own
    motivation (积极性). Today's work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive
    environment in which they're recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces
    just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check
    is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.
         The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence-
    knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional
    intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around
    you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
    1. The underlined phrase "shooting oneself in the foot" means _____ in this passage.
    [     ]
    A. throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objective
    B. to grow forth (向前) from the ground
    C. to move or pass suddenly or swiftly
    D. to injure or harm one's own interests
    2. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when _____.
    [     ]
    A. he cannot work at his best
    B. he is forced to do things
    C. he feels his brain shut down
    D. he thinks of his work as too heavy
    3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    [     ]
    A. People tend to associate leadership with fear.
    B. Working conditions affect people's physical health.
    C. Smart people are more functional in the work place.
    D. Good relationship is the key to business success.
    4. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all _____.
    [     ]
    A. develop his own personality
    B. provide better suggestions
    C. give his employees a pay raise
    D. hide his own emotion of fear
    5. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader's ability to_____.
    [     ]
    A. provide a variety of project for employees
    B. help raise employees' living standards
    C. deal wisely with employees' emotions
    D. give employees' specific instructions (指导)

    　　Bobby Moresco grew up in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan’s West Side．But Hell’s Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen．Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners．Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17．If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal．Not an actor．

    　　Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east．He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls, and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of ＄2,000．“I wasn’t a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life,” he says．

    　　He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒保)．“My father said, ‘Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter．’’’ But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft．

    　　Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing．Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony(继承物)of Hell’s Kitchen．Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother’s killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988．A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay．

    　　His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood．By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him．Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11．The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down．They kept pitching it．Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision(冲突、碰撞)in modern America．

    　　Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house．He and Haggis kept pushing．At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary．

    　　Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success．It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three---Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing(Original Screenplay)by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell’s Kitchen．

    　　At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success．“If you have something you want to do in life, don’t think about the problems,” he says, “think about other ways to get it done．”

    (1)

    d．He started to learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something different．

    e．His younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies．
