Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know 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

Slip-on shoes with elastic (彈性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.

The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also 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 short- and long-term problems such as calluses（繭子）, heel and knee pain.”

WEDGES AND STILETTOS

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（足科醫(yī)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 toe-box 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(矯形器) 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.

Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?

  A. Marks & Spencer.                       B. Wedges & Stilettos.   

C. Keds and Vans.                       D. Ballet Pumps.

Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?

The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _______.

A. increase         B. worsen           C. stop           D. cure

From this passage we can infer _______.

  A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ health

B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them

  C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes

  D. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes

In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?

  A. Sports.          B. Science.           C. Health.             D. Shopping.

The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 through 1999 as

temperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. But a new study

in Friday ’ s edition of the journal Science found a drought - related decline in such plant growth

from 2000 to 2009，even though temperatures continued to climb.

As drought caused by warming reduces the land ’ s ability to take in carbon，the result could

be more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere，and thus more warming，Zhao Maosheng from the

University of Montana explained in a telephone interview.

“This is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improve

plant growth ’” co - author Steven Running，also from the University of Montana ’ said in a

statement. “ We see this as a bit of a surprise，and potentially significant on a policy level because

previous interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around the

world, “ he said.

Instead, he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%，compared to a 6%

increase in the past decade.

Their study，based on the data collected by NASA satellites，found that north areas continued

to increase plant growth，thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season.

Someone commented, "This past decade’ s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that a

complex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably in

combination with other factors such as nutrients (營養(yǎng)）and land management，will determine

future patterns and trends in productivity.，^，

From the first paragraph, we can learn in the recent decade or so.

the emission(排放)of carbon hasn’ t been reduced

draught has been causing loss of soil and water

carbon dioxide levels have been rising

the rise of temperature doesn' t promote the plant growth

Zhao Maosheng really worried that  .

more and more land will be abandoned

the climate becomes warmer and warmer

the emission of carbon dioxide increases

draught further reduces the number of the plants

Steven Running made his statement to   .

confirm Zhao' s views on the influence of temperature rise

urge the government to take necessary measures

warn the people to strengthen the plant protection

support Zhao* s views on lhe plant production

We can infer from the passage that    .

global warming will determine the future productivity

various factors play a key role jointly on future productivity

earthly productivity actually increased in the past decade

temperature rise has had no effect on future producticity patterns
