Welcome to one of the largest collections of footwear (鞋类) in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits (展品) from all over the world.
You can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.
Room 1
The celebrity (名人) footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum. Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! Most visitors find the celebrities´ choice of footwear extremely interesting.
Room 2
Most of our visitors are amazed--and shocked--by the collection of "special purpose" shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear. For example, there are Chinese shoes made of silk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much!
Room 3
As well as shoes and boots, the museum also exhibits shoe-shaped objects. The variety is unbelievable. For example, there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and Greek wine bottles that look like legs!
The Footwear Library
People come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library. Designers and researchers come here to lookup information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.

Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.
Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. "What could be causing everyone to act this way?"
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads--the commander, and tails--the peanuts guy. Ah!Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter,George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, "My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution." The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George
Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: no re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later,that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster´s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

A、by redoing his task

43、根据以下材料,回答{TSE}题
I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development, I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby´s point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state,the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I´ve never heard anything so ridiculous.Baby feeding shouldn´t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5,7,11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock.By the age of 8, their IQ (智商) scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid time table. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample(样本) of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child´s sex and age, the mother´s health and feeding style. These results don´t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
{TS} What does the author think about Dr King?
A、He is strict.
B、He is unkind.
C、He has the wrong idea.
D、He sets a timetable for mothers.
44、The word "copper-bottomed" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A、basic
B、reliable
C、surprising
D、interesting
45、What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?
A、The baby will sleep well.
B、The baby will have its brain harmed.
C、The baby will have a low blood sugar level.
D、The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.
46、The author supports feeding the baby________
A、in the night
B、every four hours
C、whenever it wants food
D、according to its blood sugar level

A new retail phenomenon from Japan which allows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain. From tomorrow, visitors to Sample Trend´s central London store can try anything on its shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge.
For a nominal annual membership fee of £ 60, users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than £ 250 worth of goods every year. The only "catch" is that shoppers are asked to complete a simple questionnaire about each product they try. Known as "try-vertising", the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback (反馈) before launching onto the open market. It is already a sensation in Japan and now looks set to transform the fortunes of the embattled UK retail industry. If thing goes well, countries such as Germany and France will give it a try. According to new figures, stores are facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest high street trading for six months. Michael Ghosh, the founder behind Sample Trend, said: "The concept behind Sample Trend is unique in the UK. It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny."The concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective. Businesses across all sectors, from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage makers, place new products on the shelves at
Sample Trend and wait for consumers to try them out.
Customers complete a short 10-pointquestionnaire about the product, and the feedback they provide is used to make any finishing touches before the product is brought officially to market. The Sample Trend store stocks everything from cosmetics, food and drink, and household goods. Ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe, said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset--a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses.
{TS} The most attractive part of the idea for customers is that ________
A、they only pay £ 60 for a life-long membership
B、they can help to make the products better
C、it won't take much time to finish the questionnaire
D、they can take things home without paying for them
48、Where is the idea of "try-vertising"from?
A、Germany.
B、Britain.
C、Japan.
D、France.
49、What is the purpose of"try-vertising"?
A、Getting feedback for their new products.
B、Selling more products at Christmas time.
C、Encouraging people to buy more products.
D、Giving customers flee products as gifts.
50、What does Michael Ghosh think of this business idea?
A、Puzzling.
B、Impractical.
C、Promising.
D、Surprising.
