UGG boots have been a winter-weather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGG-enthusiasts don’t know is that their boots are a breeding(繁殖的) place for bacteria and cause foot problems.
Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are
11
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 doesn’t mean it’s good or right,” he said, “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It’s a slipper. You wouldn’t normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that’s indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas(睡衣) outside all the time, someone will come up and say it’s 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 O, Neil U, 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 leg 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(意识到) of “knockoffs”(仿制品)which lack reinforced heels in their boots.
28. Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following except______
A. design B. comfort C. quality D. warmth
29. According to Dr. Ian Drysdale,_____
A. there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in UGG boots
B. wearing UGG boots will lead to more ankle and toe problems
C. it’s not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time
D. teenage girl’s bones are plastic enough to wear UGG boots
30. The underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to_____
A. shaped B. strengthened C. reformed D. damaged
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Unique Design of UGG Boots B. The Popularity of UGG Boots
C. Harm of UGG Boots D. Benefits of UGG Boots
D
One of the world's richest men has taken a close interest in one of man's most basic functions: visiting the toilet.Bill Gates’ charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for inventors to design the toilet of the future, which, they hope, would improve sanitation(公共环境卫生)for millions of people around the world.
11
So, what's wrong with the traditional flush(水冲) toilet? Firstly, it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.Secondly, they are more likely to cause pollution.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world, where, according to United Nations’ reports, unsafe sanitation causes half of all diseases.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea (腹泻) are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Finally, standard toilets simply aren't accessible in poor areas.
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine(公共厕所) which works without running water, electricity or a septic tank.It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents.
28 designs were displayed at the Toilet Fair in Seattle, USA recently.Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which changed human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine (尿) for flushing.
But the winner was a solar-powered design which made hydrogen gas and electricity.The team from the California Institute of Technology (CIT) picked up a prize of $ 100,000.
But clearly Bill Gates doesn't feel he's flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said, “We couldn't be happier with the response we've gotten," Gates has even promised $370 million more to the future toilet project.They hope to test more designs over the next three years.
32. Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?
A. He is concerned about energy saving.
B. He is concerned about people’s health benefits.
C. He wants to earn a profit from the invention.
D. He just wants to raise people’s awareness of invention.
33. Which of the following statements about Bill Gates’ ideal toilet is true?
A. It should work with running water.
B. It should not depend on electricity.
C. It should be equipped with a septic tank.
D. It needs no money to operate properly.
34. If people "flush money down the toilet", they are _______.
A. showing off their wealth
B. angry with their working conditions
C. wasting money for nothing
D. expressing their great determination
35. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Bill Gates is wasting money on the project.
B. Bill Gates’ standards are too high.
C. There will be more design next year.
11
D. Bill Gates is satisfied with the progress of the project.

How to reduce Stress
Many people around the world suffer from stress in modern times. Sometimes stress is a temporary(暂时的) condition or related to one’s environment. At other times it is more severe, and perhaps the professional treatment is required. 36
Accept your stress. 37 But it means that you’re aware of what is causing your stress and what you need to avoid. Accepting does not mean ignoring, but rather than you understand the origin of your stress. Realize that your stress is a healthy respond to stimuli(刺激物). So it can be dealt with in a proper way.
38 Sometimes, a stressful situation is just a matter of perspective. Instead of focusing on the negative and the problems that are causing you stress, concentrate on the positives. When you change your viewpoint, you can change your level of stress altogether. Do your best to see things in a positive light, and avoid cynicism at all costs.
39 Often times, stress arises from feeling overwhelmed(压垮的). Use a planner to keep track of your “to-do lists”. Being organized and getting your priorities(优先事项) straight can help you break responsibilities down into manageable pieces and focus on the things that really matter to you. Staying on top of chores and errands will keep you in a positive mindset, and help you get more things done in the long run.
Learn to say no. You cannot do everything you are asked. 40 Indeed, the more you promise and don’t deliver, the less people will think of you as being nice; rather, they’ll consider you’re not trustworthy, knowing that you’ll drop the ball at the last minute. Instead, be wise and learn to say no politely but firmly and always know that there isn’t a chance at all that you’ll get the thing done.
A. Be better organized.
B. Rethink about your problem.
C. It is important to take a positive attitude.
D. It may seem unwise to admit your stress.
E. Why do you keep pretending that you can?
F. The following tips can help you reduce stress.
G. You can turn to someone else for help when necessary.

范文:
Dear Mr. Zheng,
I’m writing to tell you my thoughts about the choice of compartmental learning. After the middle-term examination, I chose science without thinking twice. The reason why I made this decision is that there are more employment opportunities provided to science students as I was told.
When it comes to my study, I really enjoy chemistry, but it is becoming more difficult to learn after compartmental learning. With the help of my teacher, I know I am not supposed to give up. What’s more, my new classmates have a positive attitude towards study and help me a lot. I feel quite warm in the new class.
As far as I know, the only access to success is to study hard. With the aim of being admitted into a key university, I will try my best to realize my dream.
