　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　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 (弹性的）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（茧子）, 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 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(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.

　　1. 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.

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

　　A.

　　B.

　　C.

　　D.

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

　　A. increase

　　B. worsen

　　C. stop

　　D. cure

　　4. 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

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

　　A. Sports.

　　B. Science.

　　C. Health.

　　D. Shopping.

　　Sometimes they try to get out of a class to escape a teacher they don’t like. Here is some advice to solve this problem.

　　Ask yourself, “What can I learn from this teacher?” Even if you don’t worship (崇拜) his or her personality or lectures, dig deep until you find a subject in which he or she is very knowledgeable. Focus on that part of the teacher’s personality, and use him or her as a tool for learning. Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but a closer relationship with your teacher may help you understand one another better.

　　37

　　Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better.

　　38

　　If you still can’t get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor (辅导员). He or she will offer many tips and suggestions for you to get out of difficult teacher relationships.

　　39

　　That means they can help you and your teachers get rid of the bad impression on each other.

　　40

　　Your parents can meet with your teacher and try to work it out.

　　Teachers are there for more than just homework, and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner.

　　Undoubtedly, these will be a few teachers along the way who you will always remember and who might change your life forever.

　　Sometimes a guidance counselor can act as a mediator between you and the teacher.

　　If you’re too shy to talk to another student, study his or her actions and behavior in the classroom and try to follow that lead.

　　Guidance counselors have the right to blame teachers.

　　There must be something good in every teacher for you to learn from.

　　Students find it easy to get along well with their teachers.

　　If your relationship problems can’t be solved in school, then it’s time to tell your parents or guardians.

　　Students don’t always get along well with their teachers.
