"Shoes convey thin but useful information about their wearers," the authors wrote in a new study. " Shoes serve as a practical pur?pose,and also serve as nonverbal cues （暗示） with symbolic messa?ges. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."
Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits (特点) found includes a person's general age,gender,income and other personality traits like one's emotional stability.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgements were based on the style,cost,colour and condition of someone's shoes. In the study,63 University of Kan?sas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most com?monly worn shoes? and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
Some of the results were expected：people with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashy (闪光的) shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.
However,some results are puzzling. For example, " practical" shoes were generally worn by more "agreeable" people,while ankle boots were more closely connected with "aggressive" personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortablelooking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities.
And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take too much care of them,you may suffer from "attachment anxiety", spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality.

Y. E. S. ―a small group of high school students is not just learning about the envi?ronment around them,but they're actually doing something to improve it.
"This group has done a series of projects,from recy?cling about 600 pounds of tennis shoes,to over 50 cellpho?nes ,"said Patrick Merrick,a school teacher and Y. E. S. adviser.
The idea for environmental projects came about two years ago and it gradually became a part of an environmen?tal science class. In class,students would learn about a topic? design a project,carry it out and then take it to the community（社区) .
"Before every topic,we spent several weeks learning about the how,what and why of the idea," said Maddie Frank and Shawn Hanson,students in Y. E. S.
One of the goals,Frank and Hanson said,was to find out how much energy their school used throughout a school day.
"We decided to carry out a school energy audit (审计) ”，they said. " We divided up the classrooms among the students in our class. Each student recorded how much energy was being used in each classroom."
"We have been able to save money with the help of our school energy audit,make money with both the shoe and the cellphone recycling,keep a large amount of garbage out of the landfills (废物填埋地) with those recycling projects and make it possible for community members to use energysaving things”，Frank and Hanson said.
While the group is working towards making a differ?ence in the environment around them,they express their thankfulness for people's support.
"Without the help of our community and school,we would not have been able to make these recycling projects possible," Frank and Hanson said.
20. What can we learn from the first four paragraphs?
A. Y. E. S. is an afterschool activity right now.
B. Y. E. S. was set up by Maddie Frank and Shawn Hanson.
C. Students carry out the projects designed by their teachers.

21. According to the text,the small group has ,
A. given environmental science classes to the community
B. reduced the amount of garbage that has to be thrown
C. invented some energysaving things
D. repaired over 50 cellphones
22. What's the best title for the text?

B. Thank those people who support you

Agriculture has a long history in China. Much of the wisdom 1 by early Chinese scien?tists is still useful for fanners and gardeners today. One of China's early 2 scientists was Jia Sixie,who lived in the sixth century AD. He spent his time doing 3 into agriculture. He collected information,studied it,did experiments and learnt from the 4 of farmers.
Around 540 A D. he wrote a book called Qimin Yaoshu. The book is about both farming and 5 It includes advice on the following6 ：growing green vegetables and fruit trees,keeping animals,and fish in lakes. There are also 7 for making wine. Jia Sixie's book is a(n) 8 guide for farming. Firstly,as a farmer you should do things at the right time of the year. If you sow seeds and 9 young plants in the fields at the correct time of the year,your work will be less and 10 will be better. But if you 11 nature,and do things at the wrong time of the year,you will have to do more work and the results will not be so good. The 12 of the soil is also very important. Examine the soil on your farm 13 If the condi?tion of your soil is not good,you should improve it. Before sowing or planting crops,you must clean rough ground and 14 weeds. Let sheep or cows walk on the land to 15 the weeds or eat them. The best harvest is reached when farmers 16 the crops in their fields. For ex?ample,do not plant rice 17 in the same field. But if you plant rice in a field one year and wheat in the field the next year,you will 18 good crops. Other scientists said that wheat should be planted with 19 between the plants,but Jia did experiments and 20 that planting wheat close together is better.

A Double Misunderstanding Once before the Iranian revolution,the then President of the United States Jimmy Carter visited Iran. He held a formal talk with the Shah,Pahlevi. As the Shah had an excellent 1 of English,no 2 were needed for the 3 . However,the Shah spoke English with an accent which led to a 4 on a major question,but interestingly enough,Carter,being a southerner,also had his accent and so the misunderstanding turned into a 5 one. This is how it all happened. During their talk Carter 6 a certain African organization and asked the Shah to give an overall (总体的，全面考虑的) appraisal (估计，评估) of it. The Shah didn't have a very 7 opinion of the said organization 8 he found it beset (困扰) with many internal problems,so he used the word "impotent (无能力的) "to describe it. The trouble was in pronouncing the word he 9 the 10 on the second syllable and the word 11 like " important" to Carter. As it happened Carter himself thought the organization was a very important one and he felt most 12 that their opinions should " 13 " ，"Yes,I agree that the organization is indeed very important," he repeated to the Shah. Now in his southern accent,the word "important" sounded very much like the word " impotent"，and the Shah too felt most pleased that the President should agree with him. Now of all the people 14 on the occasion,only the then US ambassador 15 Iran,Mr. Sullivan,16 that it was a "double misunderstanding" as he knew the President's and the Shah's different opinions on that African organization and he was also familiar with both men's 17 accents. Naturally he didn't see 18 fit for him to put them 19 on the matter so he kept his mouth shut. He 20 a glance around the room to see if anyone else was enjoying the joke with him and so the matter was allowed to pass.

Atlantis left the International Space Station on Tuesday and slipped away after a partial lap around the station. Ten pairs of eyes 1 against the windows,four in the shuttle and six in the 2 .

"Get her 6 safely and enjoy the last couple days in space shuttle Atlantis," the station's Mission Control 7 commander Christopher Ferguson and his crew.

As a final salute,the space station rotated to provide never-before-seen views of the com?plex. Atlantis flew halfway around the outpost,cameras whirring aboard 8 craft to record the historic event.
Flight controllers savored (欣赏，品味) the dual TV images. "It must 9 pretty spectacu?lar," Ferguson said.
And it 10 ：Atlantis sailing serenely (宁静地，平静地) against the black void of space,its pay load (有效载重，负载) bay wide open,and the space station,its huge 11 wings glow?ing golden 12 the sunlight.
As the lead team of flight controllers signed off for the very 13 time,the voice emanating (发出) from the shuttle's Mission Control cracked with emotion. Another team would take over late Tuesday for 14 .
To ensure their 15 return,the crew 16 one final survey of the shuttle,using the robotic arm and a lasertipped extension. Experts scrutinized (仔细检查，细看) the images for signs of micrometeorite damage.
Atlantis 17 8 days at the space station and left behind a year's worth of supplies,insur?ance in the event commercial providers 18 delays in launching their own cargo ships.
It was the 37th shuttle 19 ,over more than 12 years,dedicated to building and 20 the space station ― the largest structure ever to orbit the planet.
