As I looked 22 the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old, 23 freely on the grass

11、as his mother watched from a short 24 . The boy had a big smile on his face 25 he had just been set free from some sort of 26 . The boy would then fall to the grass, 27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could again, still with a 28 on his face. Kids, w

12、hen they fall down, dont view their falling down as failure, but 29 , they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they 30 . While I was touched by the boys persistence, I was 31 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 32 and so natural no signs

13、 of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only 33 was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a 34 just being himselfbeing completely in the moment. He was not looking for 35 or was not worrying about whether 36 was watching. He didnt seem to be bothered by

14、 the fact that maybe someone would see him 37 and that it would be 38 if he did fall. No, all that 39 to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that 40 and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursu

But experts are now warning that the current sho

25、e 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/VANSSlip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with

26、 Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands. The main problem is that they are just too flatso flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.BALLET PUMPSThe worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Ke

27、ds 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 A

28、ND STILETTOSThese shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearers 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 pa

29、in. SCHOOL SHOESSo 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 Clarks, Marks & Spencer or Rhino. If your teen insists

30、 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. 45. Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems

31、? A. Marks & Spencer. B. Wedges & Stilettos. C. Keds and Vans. D. Ballet Pumps.46. Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists wish list? A B C D47. The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. increase B. worsen C. stop D. cure48. From this passage we can infer _

32、. A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers health B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoesD. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoesCDear Dad，Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Fathers Day cards. The

33、y all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.Youll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Fathers Days together. I havent always be

34、en with you on Fathers Day but Ive always been with you in my heart.You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear（档位）when you taught me to drive the old Dodge

35、and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen didnt have much tolerance for a stubborn 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of

36、my life.Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. But the

37、strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didnt immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from

38、out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.I guess what Im trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Fathers Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. Its about loving so

42、ation ExperimentIn the 1960s, Walt Disney pictured in the mind a future utopian city with underground roads and a climate-controlled round roof. The real community of Celebration, Florida, built in 1999, applies the social and environmental goals of both Disney and the New Urbanism movement. Disney

43、and the New Urbanism have imagined communities that promote social and local communication. Celebration has a central Market Street district to reduce traffic and encourage social contacts. The idea is that if the downtown area is neatly and closely ranked, people will walk and meet their neighbors.

44、 Downtown events like art festivals also bring citizens together. Narrow, tree-lined streets are “traffic calm”with slower speed limitsto encourage bicycling and walking.Moreover, housing in Celebration includes both single- and multi-family houses that encourages socialization. Apartment buildings

45、are located close to downtown, and houses are built close together with small yards. They feature entrance halls to encourage citizens to socialize.“Many aspects of that kind of design are really aimed at maximizing social communication between citizens, not just on the streets but also in community

46、 institutions that are very much a part of public life there,” says Andrew Ross, a New York University professor who lived in Celebration for one year.Utopian communities such as Celebration are also designed with environmental protection in mind. The town itself is built on 4,900 acres surrounded b

47、y a 4,700 acre protected greenbelt. The greenbelt parks, and common areas accommodate native wildlife and animals.High-rise office and apartment buildings provide close office and living space in a small geographic area in order to reduce urban sprawl, the spread of todays cities onto nature areas.

48、Buildings also minimize environmental influence by using cooling and electric systems with insulated（绝缘的;隔热的）glass, cooling towers, and energy-saving lamps.“The town more or less borrows very heavily from New Urbanist principles to create environmentally friendly alternatives to sprawl and to create

49、 communities around people rather than vehicles,” Ross said. 53. Celebration mentioned in the passage is a _.A. city offering living spaces B. community promoting socialization C. special occasion in the market D. downtown area with high buildings54. The purpose of holding Art festivals mentioned in

50、 Paragraph 2 is to _. A. exhibit art works B. attract artists for profits C. encourage communication D. reduce downtown traffic55. The underlined word “sprawl” in Paragraph 6 may be replaced by “ _”. A. expansion B. organization C. restriction D. exploration 56. Which of the following shows the orga
