What can be inferred from the passage about different types of shoes? 查看材料

根据下面内容，回答题：

Shoes are outer coverings for the foot. They have soles， and most have heels. The upper part of most shoes extend no higher than the ankle. Boots are footwear that reach beyond the ankle. People wear shoes to protect their feet from harsh weather， sharp objects， and uncomfortable surfaces. Shoes are also an important part of people"s clothing. As a result， fashion often determines the style. of shoes that individuals wear. The desire to be fashionable has led to many unusual shoe styles. In the 1300"s，many European men wore shoes called crackowes， which had an extremely long toe. From the 1300"s to the 1700"s， some European women wore shoes with really thick soles causing walking to be virtually impossible without support. Shoes once worn in the Orient were connected to a stilt（高跷） as high as six inches.

Traditionally， most shoes are made of leather. But many other materials are now used. Including canvas， velvet， and synthetic substances such as plastics. Footwear materials and style. vary somewhat，depending on climate， custom， or other differences. Farmers in Netherlands often wear heavy wooden shoes that protect their feet from the damp environment while Japanese wear shoes outside their home but prefer soft slippers at home. In fact， people in some regions often wear foot coverings other than shoes. Some wear sandals during the hot summer and switch to warm boots for the cold winter.

根据下面内容，回答题：

When Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer in rural Illinois， he and a certain judge in town once got to bantering with one another about horse trading. The upshot of the discussion was that they agreed that the next morning， at nine o"clock， they would meet in front of the general store and make a trade.

Each would bring a horse， unseen by anyone up to that hour. If either backed out of the deal， he would forfeit $25. The money from each man was held by the local banker.

The next morning， at the appointed hour， the Judge， came up the dirt road， leading the sorriest looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts of Illinois. The large crowd viewing the spectacle burst out laughing， already knowing that Abe Lincoln was bound to get the worst of the deal. A poorer horse just couldn"t exist anywhere and still be walking.

In a few minutes，however，Mr.Lincoln was seen approaching the general store carrying something quite large and bulky on his shoulders. As he drew nearer， the crowd saw what it was， and great shouts and laughter broke out. The shouts and laughter soon broke into a thunderous roar when Mr. Lincoln， looking carefully and seriously over the Judge"s animal， set down his sawhorse （锯木架）， and exclaimed， "Well， Judge， this is the first time I ever got the worst of it in a horse trade. "

根据下面内容，回答题：

Many of the problems we face today are not so new as we think they are. And some of our modern solutions are not so new， either. The problem of energy shortages and the solution of using solar energy go back at least to early Greek cultures. The climate in the coastal areas of Greece 2，500 years ago was characterized by cool winters， much as it is today. At that time， the Greeks heated their homes with small， charcoal-burning heaters. In other words， wood （which is used to make charcoal） was their primary source of energy.However， by the fifth century BC fuel shortages had become common because， in many parts of Greece， the firewood in the forests had been depleted. Once the supply of firewood from the local forests ran out， people began to use the wood from olive groves as fuel. But this solution had its own problem. It reduced the olive crop， a valuable resource to the Greeks. By the fourth century BC， the city of Athens banned the use of olive wood for fuel. Wood had to be imported from farther and farther away， making it more difficult to obtain and more expensive to use. About this time the Greeks began to build their houses facing south， so that the low sun in winter could penetrate and help heat the interiors. Excavations of ancient Greek cities suggest that large areas were planned so that individual homes could take maximum advantage of passive solar energy.

The Clever Hans‘s real talent was________． 查看材料

The Clever Hans syndrome is a danger to be avoided by________． 查看材料

根据下面内容，回答题：

The crowd stirred and whispered in awe as， on the stage， the horse slowly tapped out the beat．Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer"s question．After the final tap， the horse paused， seemed to look around and stopped．The crowd went wild !

The horse"s name was Clever Hans， the Educated Horse， and was featured in a vaudeville（杂耍）act in the early 1900s， in Europe．When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner，Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves．For example， if the answer was sixty-eight， Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof．Even more remarkable，the owner would leave the room after asking the question， so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse．A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man"s!

It wasn"t until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed．The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals．The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowd"s reaction．Members of the audience would start involuntarily， or give some unconscious signal，when Hans reached the right answer．Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome（综合征 ）， whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actions they like to see performed!

根据下面内容，回答题：

We show an amazing tolerance for a form. of pollution that is a growing problem: noise. Airplane traffic is increasing by five percent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten years. By air， land and sea， we are facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world.

We have granted ourselves the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic responsibility?

The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to make noise with cars and motorbikes， and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain， for example， a law has been passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbors with music at night.

It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way. Noise is in reality a particularly insidious （潜在的） form. ofrubbish. It destroys community life， pursues us into our homes， keeps us from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses， as well as hearing loss.

Our acoustic environment belongs to all of us. Everyone has the right to use it， but no one has the right to abuse it. Let"s start using it responsibly.

The level of noise produced in cities and towns________. 查看材料
