This could be the perfect gift for the partner who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach you to dance, may be the an?swer for anyone with two left feet.

The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners im?prove their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately (精確地)re-cord not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes(最大化)his/her performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibres (纖維)that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.

Sensors (傳感器)record each movement and send it by an ankle trans?mitter (腳裸發(fā)射器)to a smart phone. Then a "virtual coach" application shows the information and can tell the users,what they are doing wrong, aijd help improve skills in any task with feet.

The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. "People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well," Dr Da vide Vigano said. A recent study showed that be?tween 60 and 80 per cent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf? or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.

Mr Vigano said, "People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.，，

Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around $ 120， which will go on sale in March.

12.  What does the underlined part "anyone with two left feet" refer to?

  A.  People who are disabled.

B.  People who are interested in dancing.

C.  People who are not good at dancing.

D.  People who invented the socks.

13.  What's special about fibres that the socks are made of?

  A.  They feel much softer than normal clothes.

B.  They can monitor the movements of feet.

C.  They are expensive to produce.

D.  They act as a smart phone for users.

14.  Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?

  A.  They can improve the skill of running.

B.  They can help women walk better in high heels.

C.  They can teach people to dance well.

D.  They can be worn for days without washing.

15.  According to Dr Vigano, _______ .

  A.  everyone can make good use of the smart socks

B.  users can run as fast as they like with the socks

C.  60 to 80 per cent of runners would like to buy the smart socks

D.  no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks

In April 2014， the world's oldest known message in a bottle was dis?covered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean! The message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.

A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown boltle near Kiel* Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.

The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two Ger?man stamps, dated May 17， 1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible(字跡模糊的)，the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps lo pay for postage.

From the address, researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz, who was 20 years old when he wrote the mes?sage. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group, he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a re?search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough, they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter, Angela Erdmann, who still lives in Berlin.

"It was almost unbelievable*" Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message. "That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face."

Erdmann never knew her grandfather, who died in 1946， but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.

The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1. After that, the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message. Previously, the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at sea and was dis?covered in April 2012， according to Guinness World Records.

9. When Konrad picked up the bottle from the sea, ___________

A.  he thought it would bring him good luck

B.  he noticed the postcard inside immediately

C.  he decided to uncover the secret of the bottle

D.  he wanted to throw it back into the sea at first

 10.  Why did Richard Platz throw the bottle with the message into the sea?

  A.  He expected his grandfather could find the postcard.

B.  He wished the finder would send the postcard to his home.

C.  He believed his postcard would be kept secret at sea forever.

D.  He thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.

11.  Which can be the best title for this passage?

  A.  The finding of a floating bottle at the sea

B.  A one-century-old letter to a grandfather

C.  The world's oldest message in a floating bottle

D.  The oldest Danish postcard in a floating bottle

A

I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.

One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much at?tention to him.

One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(謹(jǐn)慎地).The rest of us were silent.

The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice： "A very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up， amazed, and murmured "Good morning. ，， in reply.

The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.

One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked ： " Have you got yourself a girl?friend, Charlie?" We never got to know if his name really was "Charlie", but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.

Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some pas?sengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.

Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that. we started wondering if he was sick or―hopefully―on holiday somewhere.

When we came nearer to the centre for senior citizens, one of the pas?sengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.

The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.

The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (彎腰）a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was si?lent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

Dear Mrs Winthorp,

So my first week at college is over! No lectures this morning so I think I'd e-mail you and let you know what things are going.

I'm glad to say that anything has worked out fine in the dormitory. I re?member asking for a room as faraway from the lifts as possible and they find me a comfortable one on second floor. There are two girls from my course here and I plan to make friend with them so that we can help each other on the course work. Everyone else seems very nice and warmly here.

Well, I had better to stop now. I'm going to attend mine first lesson this afternoon, for I've got some preparation to make. Keep in touch.

      Yours, Carol
