When movie star Scarlett Johansson was photographed naming in Los Angeles recently, she attracted a lot of attention; for the 27-year-old actress was wearing Vibram FiveFingers, so called because they look more like gloves than shoes, with a space for each toe.

Strange though they may look, these so-called barefoot shoes, which reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain, are just one brand in a range of minimalist footwear. These super-thin sports shoes are causing a stir in the world of running and fitness. Why? Because some experts believe they could make you a better, more efficient runner and that traditional trainers could be doing you more harm than good.

"Wearing a shoe that has lots of cushioning and support affects the way your body naturally moves and studies suggest that this carries a higher risk of injury," explains Matt Wallden, an athlete performance expert. "But with barefoot shoes, the foot can actually feel the firmness and shape of the ground, which allows your body to respond effectively.’"

But before you rush out to invest in minimalist footwear, be careful. These kinds of shoes are not meant for everyone, or at least not straight away.

"Ordinary sports shoes with support are good for beginners whose bodies are not used to the impact of running," explains Patrick Davoren, former Olympic athlete. "It you are not in great condition, then running in minimalist footwear may cause injuries and will turn a lot of people off exercise and running.

If you are currently injured, and figures show that in any given year 65% of all runners are, it can be tempting to try anything that promises to get you back on the road, trail, or beach. But barefoot running is not a method of treating injury nor is it a magical way of suddenly turning you into a great athlete.

Even if you’re used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually. Start_off’by doing just 10% of what you’d normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10% every week. And a word of warning - you may never have soft feet again

1.The Vibram FiveFingers are shoes ______.

A．specifically designed for women

B．that have lots of cushion inside

C．safest for people who enjoy sports

D．that are much thinner than normal sports shoes

2.The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A．experts B．feet C．shoes D．runners

3.According to Matt Wallden, the new shoes ________.

A．make feet more sensitive to the running surface

B．will produce immediate improvements

C．force your body to move less naturally

D．increase the chances of getting hurt

4.The author suggests that new users of Vibram FiveFingers should ________.

A．run in the shoes every day at top speed

B．begin with a shorter running distance than normal

C．occasionally run barefooted to harden their feet

D．make sure they are already very fit before using them

5.Where would you probably read this article?

A．A travel book. 　　 B．A movie website.

C．A sports magazine. D．A science journal.

阅读下面短文，根据要求完成下列各题。

The K-Cup is a great invention. We can see the product everywhere in the world. However, its inventor, John Sylvan, said in an interview, “I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it.”

Why? Because it’s bad for the environment. K-Cups are almost impossible to recycle. John Sylvan couldn’t do much about the problem. He sold the invention to Keurig Green Mountain for ＄50,000 in 1997. Keurig Green Mountain made ＄4.7 billion last year. Much of that money came thanks to K-Cups.

“I’ve told them how to improve the K-Cup, but they don’t listen,” said John Sylvan. Sylvan has found solutions, like reusable K-Cups. He said he even tested his design years ago, and it worked.

However, Keurig Green Mountain refused John Sylvan’s advice. The company said that it had a plan of its own and that it would make 100% of K-Cup packs recyclable by 2020.

1.Who invented the K-Cup?
