"Barefoot Mike" gets a lot of attention when he shows up at the beginning of a race. He loves to run and has been running since he was a kid. He loves to race, and often competes in 10K races. But that’s not the reason he gets so much attention. People notice him because when he runs, “Barefoot Mike” runs barefoot.

Running barefoot has become a huge trend in the world of running. “I didn't set out to be a trend setter,” laughed

“Barefoot Mike”, otherwise known as Mike Whitaker. “I've always been a runner, but until a few years ago, I always wore shoes. Then one day I was running after a rainstorm. I stepped off into the grass to avoid a puddle(水坑) on the sidewalk, and accidentally stepped into a huge muddy puddle that had been hidden in the grass. I tried to keep running, but the wet and dirty shoe made it really hard. I figured the best solution was to just get rid of the shoes.”

Mike took off his shoes and dropped them into the nearest trash can. “Then I started running. At first I went really slowly because I was watching out for rocks or other things that could hurt my feet, but there really weren't any problems.” He started going faster. “It felt so good!” Mike said. “My knee, which always ached, didn't ache. My foot was able to spread out so I had better balance. And my feet didn't feel all hot and sweaty. It was awesome!”

“There are actually potential health benefits to running barefoot,” said Dr.　 Nancy Bower, a podiatrist(足科医师)．

A recent study agrees. A team of researchers recently videotaped several people running —first wearing shoes and then barefoot. In almost every case, when wearing shoes, the runners tended to land on the heel of their foot, which they call “heel­striking.” Many runners have impact injuries such as knee pain. Heel­striking may be the cause of these injuries or may make an existing injury worse.

When running barefoot, the runners tended to land on the middle part of the foot. The force is spread out throughout the foot. The ankle, shin(胫部), knee and hip don't get the shock of a hard landing with every step.

1.Why does Mike receive a lot of attention while running?

A. Because he runs very fast.

B. Because he loses his shoes.

C. Because he wears no shoes.

D. Because he wears strange clothes.

2.According to Paragraph 2, why did Mike run barefoot years ago?

A. He liked running barefoot.

B. He was advised to run barefoot.

C. His shoe became very uncomfortable.

D. His dream of becoming famous motivated him.

3.After running barefoot for a while a few years ago, Mike ________.

A. was very tired

B. was badly hurt

C. gave up running

D. felt unexpectedly great

4.According to the recent study, heel­striking ________.

A. is bad for one's health

B. is caused by existing injuries

C. happens when one runs barefoot

D. can be avoided by wearing sports shoes.
