The change over the last few years to low-top sneakers(运动鞋) seems to go against conventional wisdom.Strangely,(42)I,Steven Nash and Kobe Bryant,two of the most(43)J
players with the Los Angeles Lakers,aren't worried.
According to the US market-research firm NPD Group,high-tops once (44)A for about 20percent of the US basketball shoe market.Now,the number has sunk to about 8percent.Low-tops,the kind that Nash and Bryant wear,have grown to 29percent,from just 11percent in 2002.
High-top sneakers are one of the most celebrated (45)H in modern basketball.After the 1985Air Jordans so transformed the market,shoe companies began battling one another.They put air pumps in the tongues of their shoes and made carefully prepared and organized (46)C.
"All of a sudden it became a(47)K business,"Marshal Cohen,an analyst with NPD group,told The Wall Street Journal.The Jordans were excellent.The market went from being nothing to a million-dollar business (48)E."
One of the reasons high-tops are not so(49)D anymore is that they were never really very good at protecting the feet.
In an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2008,University of Newcastle researcher Craig Richards found no evidence that sneakers(50)B injuries.His research actually found that high-top basketball sneakers could even cause players to run slower and jump lower.Now,the contest has become a war.Companies like Adidas,Nike,Converse and Reebok are all fighting to create the next"Air Jordan,"and with the next market battle.
Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control.This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand,yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situation.
One's personal attitude can often be a big part of why the chronic disorganization exists.Once the attitude of acceptance about being a"slob"is in someone's head,it's hard to remove.If someone tells himself that he is a slob,he will likely live up to that self-image created by him or by those around him.
One first receives true awareness of the disorder of chronic disorganization when it starts to negatively affect relationships with friends and family members.Everybody becomes affected by this situation,especially those sharing living places with the one involved.
The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization (HSGCD) recommends that one get help through a professional organizer.The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions.There were varied reasons given for this problem of decision-making.Among them were fears and prioritizing issues.Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decision-making and chronic disorganization.
Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization,something most people experience at some point.Someone who has lost someone significant to him may start to be troubled by disorganization after a divorce.Someone who experienced changes in life and in his career is likely to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside.However,one doesn't instantly have chronic disorganization.
"If you're going through hell,keep going."That's an old saying that's true about one's struggles with chronic disorganization.Every person has the power to change within himself.It's a matter of staying organized,one day at a time.Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day.
Definition | ◆It means that the person is (71)habitually disorganized in life and business over a long period.(72)Short of organization,one is likely to have the problem. |
Recognizing the problem | ◆One example is that an addict is(73)unable to organize the collection. ◆The existence of chronic disorganization is partly (74)affected/caused by one's personal attitude. ◆One doesn't (75)realize the disorder of chronic disorganization until it has bad effects on the relationships with friends and family members. |
The findings of the study | ◆All subjects in the study(76)suffer from the problem of poor decision-making,which is linked with chronic disorganization.Further research are still in(77)progress. |
Warning(78)signs | ◆People losing someone significant,going through a divorce or changes in one's life and career have a (79)tendency to ignore organization and order. |
Good news | ◆In(80)wrestling with chronic disorganization,every person has the power to change,at least one single day at a time. |
The greatest problem in using intelligence tests for the purpose of prediction is that no dependable criterion of their accuracy exists.The ideal criteria would be objective and reliable achievement tests following instructions in each subject,but there are few such tests,especially at the college level.Studies have shown that correlations(相关性)between intelligence tests and achievement tests in various subjects through secondary school range roughly from 0.5to 0.8.Such correlations are fairly high,but they do not suggest anywhere near complete agreement.
At the college level there are two major tests used as criteria of admission.By far the more important is the College Entrance Examination,constructed by the Educational Testing Service authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board.These tests arc returned to the Educational Testing Service for scoring,and the results are then made available to the various colleges authorized by the students to receive them.The second test of this type is the American College Test,which operates in essentially the same fashion.
Both tests constitute(组成)measures of certain skills,abilities,and knowledge that have been found to be related to success in college.Their correlations with academic success are limited for three outstanding reasons.First,measures of achievement in college arc themselves perhaps no more reliable than those in elementary and secondary schools.Second,intellectual factors do not alone determine academic success,especially at the college level.Many students drop out of schools because they are inadequately motivated or because they dislike the instructional programme.Third,correlations are lowered because the use of such tests for denying admission to some students means that the range of scores for those admitted is restricted,and such restrictions tend to reduce correlations.
Common (71)uses of intelligence test scores | .To tell in (72)advance the degree of academic success .To help admit children with outstanding (73) abilityto school at the age younger than ordinary.To find out children with (74)less ability in primary school than aveage | |
(75)Problems with intelligence tests | .Ideal criteria for objective and reliable achievement tests in college courses are (76)hardto find. .Correlations between intelligence tests and achievement tests are fairly high but still limited. | |
Two major tests at the college level | .CEE .ACF | .Both tests are scored by the Educational Testing Service. |
.The (77)results of the College Entrance Examination will be sent to the colleges that the students choose. | ||
.The correlations with academic success are limited for three reasons as (78)follows. a.Measures of college achievement are as (79) unreliableas those in primary and middle schools.b.Academic success is determined by many other factors(80)apartfrom intellectual ones. c.Admission restrictions tend to reduce correlations. |
"Mobile data is not a dream; it's not an option but a requirement,"said Len Lauer,head of a U.S.Communications company,Sprint PCS,at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.
With 3G,you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday's news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs,updated four times a day.Internet access will also be much quicker,making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.
Face-to-Face video calls
Don't worry about getting lost,3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.
However,the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling.With live two-way video communication,you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.
Many European countries have already launched the services.In May 2000the U.S.Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services,while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.
International telecom companies can't wait to sell 3G in China,the world's largest mobile telecommunications market.But they will have to be patient.At the moment,China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies,networks and services.This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.
"We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,"said Fan Yunjun,marketing manager for Beijing Mobile."We expect that the 3G licences will be issued late next year."
