Her favorite shoes? A $25 pair of Champion shoes she bought at Target. “I like running in simple shoes,” she said, “The more you pay, the more trouble you get.” She is right. Money often buys higher-quality goods, but not when it comes to running shoes.
Over the last forty years, running has been popular as a leisure (闲暇的) sport. In 2009, 476,000 runners took part in a marathon. In 1976, the number was just 25,000. Sales of running shoes reached a record $ 2.36 billion in 2009, 60 percent more than ten years earlier.
But some of those dollars may not have been well spent. In 2007, Scottish researchers tested running shoes at three price levels, ranging from $80 to $150, and found that low-cost and mid-cost shoes within the same brand protected runners’ feet just as well as high-cost ones, sometimes even better.
“The common idea is that if you pay more, you will get better shoes,” said Abboud, director of the Institute of Motion Analysis and Research at the University of Dundee in Scotland, “Our research did not show that.” Professor Abboud and his colleagues have just completed a similar study, as not yet published, with nearly the same results.
If you want to run well and run safely, consider fit first and price last. “You want a shoe that helps you keep a balanced position,” said Mark Montgomery, manager of the JackRabbit Sports store in Union Square in New York, “A more expensive shoe is not always the solution.”
“The less you think about a shoe, the better,” said Ms Bakoul, a marathoner.
小题1:According to Sharon, ________.
A.expensive shoes will give you more trouble |
B.higher-quality shoes will protect your feet better |
C.taking part in marathons is very important for runners |
D.running about 20 miles a week is the best for your health |
A.it was spent on running |
B.it was spent on high- cost shoes |
C.running needs the cheapest shoes |
D.money often buys higher-quality goods |
A.running as a leisure sport will be no longer popular |
B.Professor Abboud thinks the common idea is right |
C.Ms Bakoul is against the research results |
D.Mark Montgomery agrees with Sharon |
A.The More, the Better | B.Run Well and Run Safely |
C.The Less, the Better | D.Fit First and Price Last |
答案
小题1:A
小题2:B
小题3:D
小题4:D
解析
小题1:细节理解题。根据“The more you pay, the more trouble you get.” 描述,可知选A。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文中所说“有些钱没有花费好。经研究发现同一个品牌的中、低档跑鞋的效果和高档的一样好,甚至更好”可知花费在高档鞋上的钱没有话费好,故选B。
小题3:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段文中Mark Montgomery说的“你想要帮你保持平衡的鞋,贵一点的鞋并不能总是解决问题。”和第二段中Sharon “你花的越多,你得到的麻烦越多”,都说明跑鞋不是越贵越好。故选D。
小题4:主旨大意题。根据全文提到“合适些才是最好的鞋”和文中“If you want to run well and run safely, consider fit first and price last.”可知选D。

Many people think self-confidence is the key to a happy, successful life. But where does self-confidence come from? 小题1: .
I’m Lucy. Self-confidence means that I can do something well. It’s even better if someone else tells you that you’re good at something, too. When people listen to me and pay attention to my ideas, I know they like me. When people don’t listen, I sometimes feel sad. 小题2: .
I’m Jeff. Respect from my family and friends makes me feel the best. I don’t care if I’m the best football player, or I don’t get the highest grade on a test, or don’t succeed at everything I do. 小题3: . If someone says something unkind about you, you don’t mind that much because you know they’re wrong—that means you have self-confidence.
I’m Sue. I really feel good when my mum gives me a hug and says,“Have a nice day!”before I leave the house. Also, one day in a store I asked a salesman where to find something, and to my surprise, he said,“You have a beautiful smile.” For the rest of the day I was happy. These kinds of things have to come naturally and from the heart, but they make a big difference in the way a person feels.
小题4: . Believe that no matter who you are, you can build your own self-confidence.
A. I hope someone will care about me B. You should remember“You can do it if you think you can.” C. Here’s what some students have to say about it D. I only care that I have tried my best and people respect me for it E. Listening shows they care about me |

A boy sat nearby. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless.
“He must be cold and hungry. Maybe I should help him,” I said to myself.
Just at that moment, a well-dressed young couple walked towards him.
“Excuse me,” the man bent down. “My wife and I bought two meal boxes but one was enough for us. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” he handed the boy a meal box.
The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped. In the direction to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags-in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall.
Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood and helped the old to his seat. He took off his jacket and covered it on the old man’s shoulders, saying, “A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. I hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?” He placed the still-warm meal box in the old man’s hands without waiting for an answer.
“Sure, son, but if only you share that sandwich with me. It’s too much for a man at my age. ”
We were all touched. Dad went away and soon returned with cups of hot chocolate and a big pizza. Mum and dad went up to those rags, “Excuse me…”
I rushed into a KFC and took out my pocket money. It was so cold that afternoon but I felt much warmer than I had ever thought possible.

D. He asked the other passengers to help the homeless.
One day a young man went by the garden. He looked at the beautiful flowers, imaging how happy he could be if he lived in such a beautiful place. 小题2: He was very surprised about this and asked, “You can’t see these flowers, why do you take notice of them every day?”
The old man smiled and said, “I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a gardener since I was young, and I really like this job. Second, 小题3:__________. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As for the last one ,that’s you .”
“Me? But you don’t know me,” said the young man.
“Yeah, it’s true that I don’t know you. But I know that flowers are angels(天使)that everyone knows.
小题4: _____ ”
