"Barefoot Mike" gets a lot of attention when he shows up at the beginning of a race. He loves to run and has been running since he was a kid. He loves to race, and often competes in 10K races. But that’s not the reason he gets so much attention. People notice him because when he runs, “Barefoot Mike” runs barefoot.

Running barefoot has become a huge trend in the world of running. “I didn't set out to be a trend setter,” laughed

“Barefoot Mike”, otherwise known as Mike Whitaker. “I've always been a runner, but until a few years ago, I always wore shoes. Then one day I was running after a rainstorm. I stepped off into the grass to avoid a puddle(水坑) on the sidewalk, and accidentally stepped into a huge muddy puddle that had been hidden in the grass. I tried to keep running, but the wet and dirty shoe made it really hard. I figured the best solution was to just get rid of the shoes.”

Mike took off his shoes and dropped them into the nearest trash can. “Then I started running. At first I went really slowly because I was watching out for rocks or other things that could hurt my feet, but there really weren't any problems.” He started going faster. “It felt so good!” Mike said. “My knee, which always ached, didn't ache. My foot was able to spread out so I had better balance. And my feet didn't feel all hot and sweaty. It was awesome!”

“There are actually potential health benefits to running barefoot,” said Dr. Nancy Bower, a podiatrist(足科医师).

A recent study agrees. A team of researchers recently videotaped several people running —first wearing shoes and then barefoot. In almost every case, when wearing shoes, the runners tended to land on the heel of their foot, which they call “heel?striking.” Many runners have impact injuries such as knee pain. Heel?striking may be the cause of these injuries or may make an existing injury worse.

When running barefoot, the runners tended to land on the middle part of the foot. The force is spread out throughout the foot. The ankle, shin(胫部), knee and hip don't get the shock of a hard landing with every step.

1.Why does Mike receive a lot of attention while running?

A. Because he runs very fast.

B. Because he loses his shoes.

C. Because he wears no shoes.

D. Because he wears strange clothes.

2.According to Paragraph 2, why did Mike run barefoot years ago?

A. He liked running barefoot.

B. He was advised to run barefoot.

C. His shoe became very uncomfortable.

D. His dream of becoming famous motivated him.

3.After running barefoot for a while a few years ago, Mike ________.

A. was very tired

B. was badly hurt

C. gave up running

D. felt unexpectedly great

4.According to the recent study, heel?striking ________.

A. is bad for one's health

B. is caused by existing injuries

C. happens when one runs barefoot

D. can be avoided by wearing sports shoes.

“You can you up, no can no bb.” The latest Chinglish buzz phrase, having swept through Chinese cyberspace (网络空间) and society, has now made a landing overseas, entering the US web-based Urban Dictionary.

According to the entry put forward by “gingerdesu”, “You can you up” which means “If you can do it, go ahead and do it”, is a Chinglish catch phrases referring to people who criticize others’ work, especially when the critic is not so much better.

As well as “You can you up”, other Chinglish catch phrases, such as “tuhao” and “no zuo no die”, have also been recorded on the site.

Coined with roots in Chinese grammar, and even containing Pinyin, Chinglish words and phrases are even spreading beyond grass roots (草根) websites.

In 2013, “dama” and “tuhao” found their way into The Wall Street Journal and the BBC, and words such as “feng shui”, “Chengguan” and “people mountain people sea” have been admitted to the Oxford English Dictionary.

“The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign institutions suggests that people are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Peking University’s Department of Chinese Language and Literature.

“Words like ‘dama’ and ‘tuhao’ are so vivid. My friends and I use them a lot —it’s so much fun,” said Satoshi Nishida, a Japanese student studying at Beijing Language and Culture University.

“Behind these Chinglish words and phrases is the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what’s happening in China,” according to Xing Hongbing, a professor of Beijing Language and Culture University.

“When the price of gold went down last year, while the super purchasing power of the Chinese bargain-hunting middle-aged women drew worldwide attention, there was no effective way available in other languages to describe them, and ‘dama’ filled the gap very neatly,” says Xing.

1.Why does the author take “dama” for example in the last paragraph?

A. To suggest the culture and trends in the Chinese society.

B. To show the Chinese women’s super purchasing power.

C. To indicate the women drew worldwide attention.

D. To inform us that the price of gold went down last year.

On the broad landing between Miss Havisham’s own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out,I saw a garden chair—a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind.It had been placed there since my last visit,and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room,and across the landing and round the other room,which,from that day on,became my regular job.

As we began to be more used to one another,Miss Havisham talked more to me,and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed(做学徒) to Joe,my sister’s husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything,in the hope that she might offer some help.But,she did not; on the contrary,she seemed to prefer my being ignorant.Neither did she ever give me any money—or anything but my daily dinner—nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services.

Estella was always about,and always let me in and out,but never told me I might kiss her again.Sometimes,she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes,she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes,she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes,she would tell me energetically that she hated me.Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper,or when we were alone,“Does she grow prettier and prettier,Pip?” And when I said yes,Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily.Also,when we played cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella’s moods,whatever they were.And sometimes,when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do,Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness,saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope,break their hearts and have no mercy!”

1.What did Pip regularly do at Miss Havisham’s home?

A. He placed the garden chair on the broad landing.

B. He walked with Estella’s hand upon his shoulder.

C. He learned knowledge from Miss Havisham.

D. He pushed Miss Havisham in the wheel chair.

2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. Pip was excited to learn from Joe,his sister’s husband.

B. Pip desired to improve his present situation.

C. Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pip’s being ignorant.

D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.

3.What’s Estella’s attitude towards Pip?

A. Changeable. B. Sincere.

C. Warm?hearted. D. Indifferent.

4.Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because .

A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip

B. she felt worried about Estella’s moods
