Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.

One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine. Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot.

Researchers from the JKM Technologies Company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.

They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.

The study appeared in the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine.

The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.

They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running.

Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel.

Harvard’s Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come

down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings.

60. How many organizations are involved in the two studies?

       A. Three.                           B. Four.                       C. Five.                       D. Six.

61. What can we learn from the text?

  A. Most running shoes are designed improperly.

  B. The design of high heels is better than that of running shoes.

  C. No one will run with running shoes in the future.

  D. Both of the studies are done in America.

62. Why do running shoes increase the risk of injuries to runners?

  A. They could create stress. 

  B. They’re too big and heavy.

  C. They can affect the way the runners land.   

  D. Their heels can soften landings.

63. How did the researchers do the two studies?

  A. By practising.         B. By comparing.       C. By questioning.     D. By reasoning.

Free and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meal. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students.

Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university.

Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum (論壇) for parents and students, in advance of the introduction in September of ￡3,000 higher education top-up fees.

Their website says, “The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap (交換) family homes.” The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town / city could swap with those from a different town / city.

The site describes itself as offering a “cost-free accommodation alternative… at a time of growing student debt”. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a ￡10 annual fee if it becomes established.

However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation.

Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, “The fact that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.” Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree.

“This is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some a key part of the student experience-living away from home.”

71. A “cash-strapped” student means one who __________.

A. lacks money                         B. prefers to stay at home

C. is careful with money             D. wants to change cash

72. What is Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude’s purpose of launching Student Swaps?

A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students.          

B. To let students stay close to their universities.

  C. To help students spend less on accommodation costs. 

D.To let students exchange ideas freely online.

73. What can students do on Student Swaps?

  A. They can find students to exchange homes with.

  B. They can make friends with students from a different city.

  C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education.

  D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree.

74. Now many students would prefer a university _________.

   A. which can give them free accommodation             

B. which is not far away from their homes

   C. which offers the best courses                                       

D. which can offer home-cooked meals

75. What would be the best title for the passage?

  A. High Cost Troubles University Students in UK.

  B. Students Swaps is Welcomed by Students in UK.

  C. Two Mothers’ Good Intention to Help Students in UK.

  D. Website Helps Students Live at Someone Else’s Home.
