Tw new studies suggest that mdern running shes culd increase the risk f injuries t runners.
One study invlved sixty-eight healthy yung wmen and men wh ran at least twenty-fur kilmeters a week. The runners were bserved n a treadmill machine (跑步机). Smetimes they wre running shes. Other times they ran bareft (赤脚).
Researchers frm the JKM Technlgies Cmpany in Virginia, the University f Virginia and the University f Clrad did the study.
They fund that running shes create mre stress that culd damage knees, hips and ankle jints than running bareft. They bserved that the effect was even greater than the effect reprted earlier fr walking in high heels. The study appeared in the fficial scientific jurnal f The American Academy f Physical Medicine.
The ther study appeared in the jurnal Nature. It cmpared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were frm Harvard University in Massachusetts, Mi University in Kenya and the University f Glasgw in Sctland.
They divided the runners int three grups. One grup had always run sheless. Anther grup had always run with shes. And the third grup had changed t sheless running.
Runners wh wear shes usually cme dwn their heel first. That puts great frce n the back f the ft. But the study fund that bareft runners generally land n the frnt r middle f their ft. That way they ease int their landing and avid striking their heel.
Harvard’s Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way mst running shes are designed may explain why thse wh wear them land n their heel. The heel f the she is bigger and heavier than ther parts f the she, s it wuld seem mre likely t cme dwn first. Als, the heel generally has thick material under it t sften landings.
But the researchers d nt suggest that runners immediately start running bareft. They say it takes sme training. And there can be risks, like running when yur feet are t cld t feel if yu get injured.
The study was partly supprted by Vibram, which makes a kind f ftwear that it says is like running bareft. The findings have gtten a lt f attentin. But the researchers say there are many prblems in the way the press has reprted in their paper. S they have tried t explain their findings n a Harvard Website.

B. Tw new discveries encurage peple t run in high heels.
C. Running in shes is partly gd t runners.
D. Tw new studies prve running withut shes is less risky t runners in mst cases.

Picture this: It’s 2003 and yur family has just finished arguing ver which Netflix mvies t rent that week. Mvies cme in the mail and the family watch them thrughut the week befre sending them back and rdering new nes. Then, fast frward t 2008, and yu have started t watch TV shws n Netflix’s new platfrm.
Nw, let’s cme t the present. Yu sit dwn and pen up Netflix n yur TV and scrll fr a while. Then yu flip ver t Hulu t see if they have anything mre interesting t ffer. Then yu check HBO GO. Finally, yu check Disney+. Then yu realize that yu’re paying fr fur different streaming services, maybe mre.
Let’s return t Netflix. Mre generally, streaming. There are ver 100 vide streaming services available, as well as quite a few music streaming, including Apple Music, YuTube Music, Ggle Play, and etc. The streaming wrld, at least t sme, is n its way t getting ut f cntrl, with each service requiring its wn mnthly subscriptin. And that is just entertainment subscriptins. We haven’t even taken int accunt subscriptins like Micrsft Office, magazine subscriptins, and email newsletters. Subscriptins started ut as a service f cnvenience, but nw, the versaturatin may have becme burdensme. The services believe custmers will pay mre t get the cntent they want. Hwever, statistics shw a grwing frustratin(失望) amng cnsumers. With s many ptins, they find it harder than ever t make a decisin n what t pick.
Nt nly des the versaturatin f streaming result in cnfusing navigatin, it als creates a financial burden fr the cnsumers. Let’s say if yu want t watch Stranger Things , The Handmaid’s Tale , and Game f Thrnes , which belng t three different services, yu wuld have t pay nearly $50 a mnth t access all three f thse services, meaning it’s nt cheaper, and ptentially mre expensive, than cable.
Peple cut their crds and went the streaming rute because it was simpler and cheaper. Nw, it’s just as incnvenient and difficult as cable was, if nt mre s, and unless yu’re limiting yurself t ne service, it’s nt cheaper. Streaming will survive because we’re in a Glden Age f Media and because each service is able t create high-quality riginals. But Glden Ages dn’t last, and bubbles tend t burst. Until the inevitable(不可避免) day when sme prduct r service prves streaming ut f date, we must suffer the chices in frnt f us. The next time yu are scrlling thrugh Netflix, Hulu, r whatever, and the verchice is killing yu, maybe yu shuld just g pick up a bk instead.
31. What is mainly talked abut in the first tw paragraphs?
A. Scial prgress has prmted the quality f life in the past decade.
B. Changes in hme entertainment have brught us mre ptins.
C. Technlgy innvatin results in different ways f relaxatin.

Discvered by Amateurs
Sme astrnmers spend their entire careers lking fr new discveries in space, but a 10-year-ld Canadian girl fund ne n her first try. In January, 2011, Kathryn Gray, wh ften studied stars, was lking at recent pictures f uter space and cmparing them t pictures taken years earlier. The pictures were just thusands f tiny spts f light, but Gray sptted a star that lked different in the recent pictures. Culd it pssibly be a supernva (超新星)? Usually a supernva is brighter, and it becmes visible thrugh a telescpe due t the brightness. Later Gray’s discvery was cnfirmed, and she became the yungest persn t discver a supernva.
Thrughut histry, imprtant discveries in astrnmy have been made by amateurs. An early example is William Herschel, wh discvered Uranus in 1781. Uranus had been bserved befre, but expert astrnmers thught it didn’t belng t ur slar system. When Herschel saw it with a telescpe he had designed and built himself, he realized that it was rbiting the sun. This meant that Uranus was a planet. And s, the map f ur night sky was changed frever.
Then in 1930, a majr discvery was made by a 24-year-ld man, a farmer’s sn, with n cllege educatin r frmal training in astrnmy. Clyde Tmbaugh had built a hmemade telescpe using instructins frm an article in a by’s magazine. He used t draw detailed pictures f the surfaces f Mars and Jupiter. He sent the pictures t Dr. V. M. Slipher at the Lwell Observatry, wh was s impressed and ffered him a jb n his team. Within a year, Tmbaugh discvered a ninth planet, Plut. It was regarded as a planet fr 76 years, but scientists decided in 2006 that Plut didn’t meet all f the criteria fr a true planet. It was then cnsidered t be a dwarf planet.
Jhn Dbsn is anther influential amateur astrnmer because he enabled s many thers t take up astrnmy as a hbby. In 1956, after cnstant attempts, he built a pwerful telescpe ut f lw-cst materials, such as paper tubes used in cnstructin. With affrdable tls like Dbsn’s telescpe, mre amateurs tday have the technlgy that is needed t make discveries f their wn.
40. Hw did Kathryn Gray discver the supernva?
41. Why did Clyde Tmbaugh get a jb at the Lwell Observatry?
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
The fur amateur astrnmers were all interested in astrnmy and did sme research, s they finally made discveries f their wn.
43. Which f the amateur astrnmers mentined in the passage has impressed yu mst? Why? (abut 40 wrds)
