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\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(类似于) a pair of shoes,and Greek wine bottles that look like legs！ The Footwear Library

Now women are free to enter any career that attracts them, and working can bring them pride, confidence and independence. Working women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big disadvantage: weight gain!

New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds you’re likely to pile on. Like many women, I work... a lot! As a self-employed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it’s directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn’t that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline（腰围）.

In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45-50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What’s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.

The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I’ll also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.

24. A female lawyer is more likely to ______.

A. has more time to walk around B. gains more weight C. works a full time job D. keeps a balanced diet

25. Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage？

A. Taking part in more activities.

B. Dealing with a lot of pressure.

C. Having little time to prepare for food. D. Drinking too much alcohol.

26. The passage above is probably taken from ______.

A. a fashion journal B. a sports report C. a health and fitness magazine D. an advertisement post 27. What can be a suitable title for the test?

A. How to lose weight for working women. B. Women should take more exercises. C. Effects of weight gaining.

D. Working women more likely pile on pounds.

C

A 12 -year-old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.

After raising the idea with her parents and pestering (纠缠）them for the best part of a year, Lydia took the test in her summer holidays. It turns out the test wasn't that hard after all.

\thought it was a bit easier than I thought it was going to be,\

Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa’s Cattell III B paper, showing she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student, who’s currently in Year 8 at a selective girl’s grammar school in Essex, England.

\think I can be compared to such great intellectuals as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They’ve achieved so much. I don’t think it’s right,\

To explain Lydia’s mark’s level, the top adult score in the Cattell III B test, which mainly tests verbal(语言) reasoning, is 161. A top 2% score---which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs---would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top 1% of the population.

Lydia’s not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school, although she’s leaning toward something \where that gets me,\

28. Why did Lydia want to have an IQ test because_______,

A. she felt that she might have a high IQ B. the grammar school advised her to do so

C. all people around thought that she was smart D. her parents strongly wanted her to do so

29. Which of the following can best explain the underlined words in the fourth paragraph?

A. does not satisfy B. does not affect. C. is not related to. D. is not accepted by 30. What is Lydia's plan about the future?

A. She is quite sure about what to do in the future. B. She will drop out of the grammar school. C. She has a tendency to focus around Maths.

D. She doesn’t have to work hard with her high IQ.

31. According to the text, which of the following statements is True?

A. Only adults with high IQs can enter Mensa.

B. Mensa is a club for those with high IQs at least 148. C. No one has achieved a higher IQ than Lydia.
