When you run, you put force that is equal to three times your body weight on your feet. The human foot contains twenty muscles. This means that there is a lot that can go wrong when you run.

Most sports have some kind of running or jumping. So experts at many shoe companies work hard to design good sports shoes. First, a designer enters a plan for a shoe into a computer. Engineers then improve the design. A second computer designs a model for the shoe. Then a few pairs are made. Next, the shoe is tested.

Different kinds of sports shoes are made for different uses. Some are made to help marathon runners save energy during a race. Some are made for the stop­and­go kind of running tennis players. But all sports shoes have one thing in common: they are designed to help make people's feet comfortable during sports. Today, nearly every sport has its own special shoe designed for just the kind of running that sport requires.

Astronomy is the oldest science known to man. Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavens. But man was limited by what he could see with his eyes alone.

The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago. They could see the size, color, and brightness of stars. They could see their places in the sky. They watched the stars move as the seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help them study the starry heavens.

Each new tool added to the files of astronomy; it helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes, man knew little about the moon. They did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) has rings around it. Their sight was so limited that they could not see all the planets. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets.

Before the spectroscope (分光镜), man did not know what kind of gases is in the sun or other stars. Without the radio telescope (电望远镜), we did not know that radio noises come from far out in space.

Today, astronomy is a growing science. We have learned more in the last fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.

9．The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. the spectroscope helps man know what kind of gases is in the sun and other stars

B. there are nine planets in space

D. science can't grow fast without modern technology

A. man watched the stars with their eyes

B. telescopes helped man to study the stars

C. man knew nothing about the sky

D. man knew Saturn had rings around it

11. When the Greeks watched the stars, they knew all of the following EXCEPT ________.

A. the color of the stars

B. the size of the stars

C. the movement of the stars

D. what the stars were made of

A. the moon has rings around it

B. there are six planets

C. Saturn's rings can be seen by human eyes

D. radio noises come from far out in space

Buying books on the internet is a great way to save time and money. Online bookstores offer new books and used books that can save you lots of money. They are far better compared to traditional bookstores as they offer much broader kinds of books. Another advantage of shopping online is that you can also read the book reviews as well as readers' reviews to get an idea whether the book is worth buying. Online bookstores offer great discounts to regular customers which is a big attraction for book lovers.

For book lovers, the most important thing is to get books on time. Therefore, you need to find a reliable online bookstore that will be able to provide fast deliveries (送货)．

Here are some tips to use when choosing an online bookstore. Some online bookstores are popular for fiction books; some are for non­fiction books or novels, etc. Understanding their specialization will help you get the right kind of books in time. Check whether you will be buying the books from a third­party seller or directly from the website. Although the website could be reputable(声誉好的)，third­party sellers advertised on their site may not have a good reputation. Never jump at stores that offer super cheap prices, as books sold at such low prices could be in very bad condition.

Most of the popular online bookstores offer useful tools. One tool is a wish list tool on its website. You can update(更新) the list of books you wish to buy in the future. The bookstore will know what you want and will e­mail you immediately when the book of your choice is available.

13．How can a reader buy a worthy book when shopping online?

C. By reading online reviews

D. By asking booksellers for advice.
