2．Children grow quickly，especially their feet，but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them．As a result，about 300 million children around the world go barefoot．Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil．
An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids - a shoe that grows with the child．Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows．He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long．
"It grows in three places：the front；it can also grow on the side with Velcro；and on the back with our buckle．It can last up to five years．The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber．The top is just high-quality leather．" The shoe comes in two sizes：small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14．
Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya． "…and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me．And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were．They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out．And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet？"
However，Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality． "I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that． "Finally，in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International．In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise． "I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done．So，those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years．"

D．They come in different sizes．
（2）Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for？

D．Where to order this kind of shoes．

3．I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting．But where are we doing all of this waiting，and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours？To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of "waits"．
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池） as an example．There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks．This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait．This one requires a bit of discipline．Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait．Directions are very specific． "Bring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutes．"I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly．After all，Forced Waiting requires patience．
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait．This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．
Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes，but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn't come to rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky，don't be desperate．You're probably just as busy as the next guy．
（1）While doing a Watched-Pot Wait，we tend to．
A．keep ourselves busy
B．get absent-minded
C．grow anxious
D．stay focused
（2）What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait？
A．The Forced Wait requires some self-control．
B．The Forced Wait makes people passive．
C．The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions．
D．The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain．
（3）What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait？
A．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．
B．It doesn't always bring the desired result．
C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．
D．It doesn't give people faith and hope．
（4）The author supports his view by．
A．exploring various causes of "waits"．
B．describing detailed processes of "waits"．
C．analyzing different categories of "waits"
D．revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"组卷：10引用：3难度：0.7
