“If you run for more than five minutes at any time, you might need a pair of running shoes,” advises Stephen Pribut, a US sports medicine expert. Running shoes are highly technical footwear. They provide stability（牢固）while bearing up to three times the wearer’s body weight. But it’s not easy to find the right pair. Finding the right running shoes is something of an art, or a science and a feel.

The science part begins with the shape of the arch（弓）of your foot, which anyone can find out at home with this quick experiment: Put your foot in water and place it on a piece of brown paper. If you see a “C” shape on the paper when you remove your foot, you have a rare high arch. If the shape looks more like a rectangle, that means you have flat feet. See something in between? That’s a normal arch.

Conveniently for shoppers, shoe companies nowadays divide their shoes in three categories: neutral(for high arches), stability(for normal or low arches) and motion control(for flat arches). So you will know which type suits you.

At this point, most people would just grab an appealing shoe and try it on. But professionals would do a few quality-control tests. First, you bend the shoe toe to heel to see where it bends. If it’s not at the forefoot---where the foot actually bends, be afraid. Then you grip both ends and twist in opposite directions. If you can twist it like a towel, it means there’s zero support. Finally, you squeeze(擠)the heel in both directions. A stable heel won’t cave in.

Now you need to check the mold(模子)that shapes the inside of the shoe: whether it’s wide or narrow in the mid-foot, how it sits on the heel and how roomy the toe box is.

It’s wise to hold off until the afternoon to make the shoe purchase, to allow for any swelling(腫脹) that your feet do throughout the day. Toes also decide sizing choice. The rule is you need a finger’s width from your longest toe (whether that’s your big one or not) to the end of the shoe.

1.What is the main idea of this passage?

    A．Advantages of wearing running shoes fitting you.

    B．Ways to get to know about the shape of the arch of your foot.

    C．Advice on how to choose the right pair of running shoes.

    D．Best time to buy a pair of running shoes.

2.If the arch of your foot looks like a “C” shape, you have _________.

    A．a normal arch B．a high arch    C．a flat arch    D．a low arch

3.．The underlined phrase “cave in” most probably means ______.

    A．bend           B．stretch        C．shake          D．crash

4.．Why is the late afternoon the ideal time to go shopping for shoes?

    A．We are likely to be more patient in the afternoon.

    B．Feet usually become large late in the day.

    C．The toes become longer late in the day.

    D．The arch of our feet will be in best shape in the afternoon.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學年四川南充高中高三第十三次月考英語試題 題型：閱讀理解

Hidden in our subconsciousness (意識) is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out of the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.

But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw (拚圖玩具) puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道) ,condemning the minutes for loitering-waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

‘‘When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry, “When I'm 38.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through co llege.” “When I have paid off!” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! " Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

“Relish (appreciate) the moment" is a good motto, actually it isn't the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.

A. Puzzled.           B. Happy.         C. Relaxed.           D. Impatient.

3..

What does the author mean by "Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today" in Paragraph 4?

A. Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today.

B. We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear.

C. Regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.

D. We’re frequently challenged by the two : regret and fear.

4..

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆度湖北省武漢市高二上學期期中考試（英語） 題型：閱讀理解

We would probably all be amazed if we watched a videotape of ourselves performing basically unconscious acts as we go about the business of the day. These unconscious acts consist of all the little personal habits that we don’t even think about, but definitely should. These are some of the things that present an image of who we are to others, and if we are careless in performing them, this image may well be other than we would like it to be.

Parents who insist that their children practice good manners and habits at home are doing them a great service, for these habits then become lifelong and the natural way they do things. It proves true that their unconscious actions will reflect a well-mannered person.

People who, for example, eat with both arms on the table at home will likely do so when out. Those who are lazy and slow in private will certainly be so in public. Children who are permitted to be disrespectful to their parents will follow suit with other adults, and will, most likely, become adults who are disrespectful of others. This is an area where the saying “practice makes perfect” may be applied.

There is an article about the actress, Audrey Hepburn, known for her beautiful carriage and posture. According to her biographer, her grandmother tied her neck to the back of her chair, at table, so that she would not drop down suddenly over her food, but rather would learn to put only small amounts of food on her spoon or fork and bring them to her mouth. This is a rather extreme “at home” method for the development of erect (直立的) posture, but it does illustrate the effectiveness of practicing good habits so that, when in public, they are instinctive.

1.Which of the following expresses the main idea of the passage?

A．Parents should be responsible for their children’s good habits.

B．The actress is well known for her beautiful posture.

C．We should always be aware of our manners.

D．Without good manners, one can never be perfect.

2. Those who eat with both arms on the table at home ______.

A．will probably change the habit when eating out with their relatives

B．will probably have the same habit when they have meals in the restaurant

C．will feel embarrassed when having meals with so many strangers in public

D．will always put their arms on the table no matter where they eat

3. The meaning of “practice makes perfect” in the third paragraph is ______.

A．the more practice one has, the better job he will do

B．the more perfect one is, the more practice he needs

C．if one has enough practice, he will become perfect

D．perfect makes a person practice more

4.Which of the following are NOT true?

A．If we are not careful about our unconscious acts, the images of ourselves presented to others will be quite undesirable.

B．The good habits formed in one’s childhood will benefit him throughout his life.

C．If parents do not care about the disrespectful attitude adopted by their children towards themselves, their children might be disrespectful to others.

D．It is unlikely that a well-mannered person will not embarrass himself in public.
