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. \"It 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 you're used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually. Start_off'by doing just 10% of what you'd normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10% every week. And a word of warning - you may never have soft feet again

31. 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 shoes

32. The underlined word \"they\" in paragraph 2 refers to ________. A. experts B. feet C. shoes D. runners

33. 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 hurt

34. 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 them 35. Where would you probably read this article?

A. A travel book. B. A movie website. C. A sports magazine. D. A science journal.

The dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the atones. He thought back more than twenty years to when he was a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street. He recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy. The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory travelled on another ten years. He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because o' debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left. That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him. When his prison time was up, he found -a job, but couldn't settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them? He spent most of that day sitting under a tree. That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. It ended with: I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me ... so it's up to you. I'll come early Thursday morning. If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. If it's there, I'll come in; if not, I'll wave good-bye and go.

And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house. He drew a long breath and looked. His parents were taking no risks. ________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ The man threw his head back, gave a cry of relief and ran straight through the open front door.

Many psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion of the grey matter between their ears. It's a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries; magazines, advertisements and books over the past century. But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would Still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes. Throughout the course of one day, most .areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas o' the brain are not used, but scans slow activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don't affect other essential areas. From an evolutionary point of view, it's highly unlikely butt our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence support the 1p percent theory.

41. How did the 10 percent theory get such widespread popularity? A. It was promoted in various types of copular media. B. Albert Einstein argued strongly in support. C. It was proven in scientific research. D. Few people could prove it wrong.

42. The underlined word \"unfounded\" is chest in meaning to _________.

A. undiscovered B. unproven C. unknown D. unnecessary 43. Which of the following is true according to the writer? A. We use less than 10% of our brains.

B. Most brain disorders affect the same part of the brain.

C. The brain is less active during times of sleep.

D. The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense. 44. What can we infer from the passage?

A. People today use more of their brain than in the past.

B. Scientific opinion about the topic of brain use is equally divided.

C. Our understanding of the brain has changed greatly in the past decades. D. Modern scientists have a complete picture of how the brain works. 45. What is the main purpose of the passage? A.
