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
Slipon shoes with elastic (弹性的) sides are particularly popular among teenage boys-with Keds and
Vans the most soughtafter brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat-so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first,
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 shortand longterm problems such as calluses (茧子), heel and knee pain."
WEDGES AND STILETIOS
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 toebox 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.
B. Wedges & Stilettos.
C. Keds and Vans.
D. Ballet Pumps.
B. worsen
C. stop
D. cure
B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D. podiatrists are experts at producing branded shoes
B. Science.
C. Health.
D. Shopping.

New research shows longterm sleep loss cannot be cured that easily.Scientists researched the effects of
shortand longterm sleep loss and found that those who suffer longterm sleep loss may function normally so
on after waking up,but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day goes by,even if they had tried
to catch up the previous night.
The research has important safety significances in an increasingly busy society,not just for shiftworkers
but for the roughly one in six Americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night.
"We know that staying awake 24 hours without sleep will affect your performance to do all sorts of
things,and this effect equals to drinking too much when driving," said lead researcher Dr Daniel Cohen of
Boston"s Brigham and Women"s Hospital. But when those who suffer longterm sleep loss become
allnighters,"the harm is increased ten times," Cohen said.
The National Institutes of Health says adults need seven hours to nine hours of sleep for good health.
Regularly getting too little sleep increases the risk of health problems,including memory impairment and a
weakened immune system.More immediately,too little sleep affects reaction times；sleepiness is to blame
for car crashes and other accidents.
It has critically important complicated and unexpected results for anyone who works "crazy hours" and
thinks they are performing fine with a few hours of weeknight sleep,said Harris,director at New York"s
Montefiore Medical Center."Don"t think you can just bank_up your sleep on the weekend,because it
doesn"t work that way," he warned.
B．to sleep in on Saturday
C．to sleep scientifically
D．to sleep little on weekend
B．may feel refreshed soon after waking up
C．are surely energetic
D．can have a strong sense of security
B．Staying up is worse for those who suffer longterm sleep loss.
C．Traffic accidents have little to do with sleepiness.
D．One in six Americans are allnighters.
B．Immune system
C．Reaction times
D．Memory impairment
B．recover

the perfect partner are just 1 in 285,000.Peter Backus,a tutor at the University of Warwick,published his
"Why I Don"t Have a Girlfriend" paper after a threeyear love drought.
His unconventional study uses a famous math formula called The Drake Equation (德雷克等式),which
was first used to estimate the existence of extraterrestrial (地球以外) life.
The results don"t look promising for British singles.30yearold Mr Backus found that out of the 30 million
women in the UK,only 26 would be suitable girlfriends for him.
The dull equation takes into account the number of women aged 24 to 34, living in his home city of
London,and who are single,meaning his chances of meeting his dream woman on a night out are slim.
The economics expert said: " There are 26 women in London with whom I might have a wonderful
relationship.So, on a given night out in London there is a 0.0000034% chance of meeting one of these
special people.That"s a 1 in 285,000 chance,so it"s not great."
The puzzling Drake equation reads: N＝R* x Fp x Ne x Fi x Fc x L,and helped pioneering scientist
Professor Drake to predict that there could be 10,000 civilizations in our galaxy.
Mr Backus simply replaced the original equation with his own criteria for a dream date,which included
the percentage of women likely to find him attractive,and the number of girls aged 24～34 in London.He
said:"The research may sound depressing to people looking for love,but the_good_news_for_singles is,it"s
probably not your fault!"
B．the possibility of his being able to find love
C．how to get rid of singledom
D．what math can do to serve our daily life
B．Depressing.
C．Unrealistic.
D．Exciting.
B．Mr Backus found a girlfriend three years ago.
C．Mr Backus" new thesis will surely be well received.
D．Mr Backus has been searching for love for long.
B．maybe the discovery is not reliable at all
C．the result was based on his own criteria
D．there might be more dream date out of London
B．The passage intends to prove there are other civilizations.
C．The writer doesn"t really understand the Drake equation.
D．Most women in London are not suitable for university teachers.
ability to keep drinking it throughout their lives.
Scientists now know of a milkrelated mutation (变异) in our genes-the chemical instructions for life that we carry in almost every cell in our bodies.People who have a mutated form of one particular gene can
drink milk just fine.People without the mutation tend to get sick from milk.
To figure out where,and possibly why,milk drinking started,some scientists have been looking at who
has the milkdigesting mutation today.Patterns are striking.
Most adults in Northern and Central Europe are able to digest milk-and they do.Cheese,butter and
other dairy products are popular in countries such as Sweden,Denmark,Germany and England.Because
European settlers dominated North America,most people here can handle milk just fine,as well.That may
explain why ice cream is such a popular dessert in the United States.
In much of Africa,Asia and South America,on the other hand,people tend to avoid dairy products
because they lead to diarrhea (腹泻) and other stomach problems.(That"s why you won"t typically find
cheese on the menu at a Chinese,Japanese or Ethiopian restaurant.) Native Americans are also unable to
digest milk.
Based on these genetic patterns,scientists have long thought that milk drinking started in Northern
Europe,where dairy is an institution and the milkdigesting mutation is everywhere.
A recent study painted a different picture.With a computer model,Thomas and colleagues looked at the spread of the milkdrinking mutation,farming and other related factors.Working backward,the scientists
concluded that the first milkdrinkers lived in Central Europe around what"s now Hungary about 7,500
years ago.The practice didn"t start farther north,as scientists had thought before.
a. Their children were able to digest milk as adults.
b. They got sick from the milk.
c. Some people got a mutation in their genes.
d. Some people tried drinking milk from animals.
e. Some people started to drink milk from animals on a regular basis.
B. d→e→b→c→a
C. d→b→e→c→a
D. e→b→d→c→a
B. their ancestors were Europeans
C. that"s where milk drinking started
D. farmers raise a lot of cows there
B. Vinegar.
C. Fish.
D. Beef.
B. Milk drinking first started in Central Europe.
C. North American Indians were able to digest milk.
D. Dairy products are very popular in North Korea.
B. development of the human stomach
C. why milk drinking started
D. where milk drinking first started
