Can you imagine a pair of shoes that could tie themselves? All you would have to do is to put them on and push a button. Well, this idea is becoming a reality. The shoe company Nike created the self-tying shoe!

This idea first came from the movie Back to the Future II, and Nike has been working for years to create a shoe that can do this in real life. They have finally done it with Nike HyperAdapt 1.0.

So how do they work? According to Nike, the shoe is “powered by an underfoot-lacing mechanism (脚下系带装置)”. This is kind of like a small motor (发动机) that has the power to lace the shoes.

All the wearer has to do is to put them on, and at first, the shoes are very loose (松的). But then you can push the “＋” button (按钮), and the shoes will tighten to be the perfect fit for the wearer. To take them off, all you have to do is to push the “－” button, and the shoes will be easily off.

They haven’t been released to the public yet, and the cost of the shoes is still unknown. But you might be able to get a pair of your own closer to the holiday season this year.

31. The best title to describe the main idea of the passage is “______”.

A. Shoes of the future are now a reality B. Shoes of the future are coming themselves C. The shoe company Nike and its movie D. Shoes and movies are doing their work 32. When did the shoe company Nike start creating the self-tying shoe?

A. Not until the imagination came into being. B. Soon after the shoe company Nike was formed.

C. After the movie Back to the Future II was shown. D. Before the movie Back to the Future II was shown. 33. What makes the self-tying shoe work?

A. The power from Nike. B. An underfoot-lacing mechanism. C. Nike HyperAdapt 1.0. D. Setting a small button with a motor. 34. The first thing for the wearer to do after putting the shoes on is to ______.

A. make them loose B. make the perfect fit C. push the “－” button D. push the “＋” button 35. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “released” is “______”.

A young girl raises her hand in class to answer the teacher’s question. She loudly says the right answer but hears somebody call her a “know-it-all” and sees someone else roll (滚动) his eyes. She doesn’t feel comfortable enough to speak up again because confident woman are thought to be “bossy (专横的)”.

The stereotype (成见) that confident men are leaders and confident women are bossy gave rise to the 2014 “Ban Bossy” campaign (“禁用专横”运动). This campaign encourages young girls to become leaders and stay confident in the face of being called “bossy”.

Laila Farah, from DePaul University, US, says she believes this stereotype comes from history. “There is an old idea that girls are not as clever as boys,” Farah says. “There is also another very old idea that women act according to their feelings.”

“Gender (性别) stereotypes come from nearly everywhere,” Farah says. “It’s is learned when people were babies, from the toys chosen, to saying girls aren’t good at math.”

In a study done by the Girls Leadership Institute, many girls said that the biggest thing holding them back from taking part in class was getting judged (评判). Girls learn to keep their ideas and leadership skills to themselves.
