【題目】A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces(鞋帶)that could be taken off when users click their heels together．

It’s been 26 years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFly’s Nike boots in the film Back to The Future．

Now，self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year，proving right one of the film’s fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like．

Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up，adjusting itself to the shape of your foot．

Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the ‘smart shoe’ when your foot is in position，triggering(觸發(fā))a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight.

When you want to take off the shoes，you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring(彈簧)in the shoe’s tongue，which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off．

And the invention doesn’t even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk.

Engineer K1evis Ylli，of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Gemany，said the shoes could help a variety of different people.

“One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems，”he said．“But it could also work for children，or as a lifestyle product．”．

The design，which is still in a prototype(雛形)stage，cleverly gets the energy of the foot’s swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery．An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once，and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.

【1】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A. A fantastical prediction

B. A great invention in Germany

C. A shoe with self-tying laces

D. A popular lifestyle product

【2】What can we learn about the shoes?

C. the shoes promise to be popular

D. how the shoes work to produce energy

Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year．Harvard and Yale—part of the US‘Ivy League’of universities—were second and third respectively．

Five British universities were ranked in the top 20—one more than last year—and 12 were in the full list of 150．

But the UK as a country came third—behind the US and Germany—when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work—ready graduates．

The table was made following a survey of 2,500 major companies in 20 countries．Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business．

The study claimed that‘the days of ivory towers are over’．
