• 1．Our tiny boat was ploughing through （費(fèi)力穿過(guò)）the waves across the Indian Ocean and I was absolutely freezing.The further we got from the shelter of the land，the more I thought how foolish I'd been to come along on this trip.
     The pilot of the boat looked almost 60 but，perhaps because of a lifetime on the open sea in the hot sun，was very fit and strong.I was wondering how he managed to find his way.To me，it seemed difficult enough to navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day.
     So at least we were safe.But this was not what we had come along for.A look at the other divers' faces suggested that now they were also doubtful that we'd ever get the chance to see a whale shark - these weather conditions were totally unsuitable for diving!None of us spoke.It seemed too much of an effort.Then suddenly the boatman stopped the engine.He said a few words in his own language to the diving instructor，who immediately jumped up from his seat and told us to get ready to dive.
     When I jumped into the grey sea，I was sure I wouldn't see anything.But then ...there it was!An enormous whale shark，slowly swimming through the water.I couldn't believe my eyes - my first whale shark!I hardly dared breathe - I was afraid my streams of bubbles（氣泡）might scare the huge creature away.And the other divers were equally awed.Slowly we approached this huge animal.It was swimming quite slowly and we were able to swim with it，looking at the beautiful markings on its back.I was still holding my breath，telling myself that this huge fish was harmless!Then I reached out and touched it，stroking（輕撫）its thick skin.It was amazing how this giant suddenly gained speed — we watched it as it swam away from us，and a few moments later it was gone.

• 2．History tells us that footwear was one of the first things ancient people learned to make.Footwear helped them across rocky paths or hot sands without injuring jye.aimselves.The earliest footwear we know of was simply a piece of plaited（編織的） grass or leather tied to the feet.
     The ancient Egyptians seem to have invented the first footwear with a firm sole（鞋底）- sandals.Egyptian royalty usually wore sandals that had a different style from those with lesser status（身份），while slaves were not allowed to wear anything on their feet.The sandal is still the basic form of footwear in many countries，particularly those with a hot climate，whereas in cold climates，an entirely different type of shoe appeared- the moccasin-a slipper-shaped shoe made of soft but strong leather.
     The Greeks were the first to develop shoes with heels（鞋跟）.Then，in the Middle Ages，shoes with long points at the toe became very chic for the nobility.These shoes were often very difficult to wear.Other trends followed，with square-toed shoes，wide shoes，and even shoes that could make a woman stand two feet taller.Not surprisingly，these sometimes led to accidents.Even today，fashion rather than comfort often leads to the kind of shoes women wear.
     Mechanical shoemaking appeared in the 1800s in North America.Until then，shoes had been made with the same kinds of hand tools used by the ancient Egyptians.And in 1858，a machine was invented that could stitch（縫合）the sole of a shoe to the upper part.Now it was possible to make shoes that were shaped to fit either the left or right foot.Toward the end of the 1800s came a new type of shoe that was specifically designed for sports- the sneaker- and it soon become an all-time favorite.
  
  （1）What did shoes often show in ancient times？

  
  A．The rich resources.
  B．People's different beliefs.
  C．People's status in society.
  D．The changeable climates.
  （2）What does the underlined word "chic" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？

  
  A．Valuable.
  B．Convenient.
  C．Fashionable.
  D．Comfortable.
  （3）Before mechanical shoemaking appeared，

  .
  A．shoes were often very difficult for people to wear
  B．a(chǎn)ll the shoe patterns made by the Greeks were the same
  C．the only function of footwear was to protect people's feet
  D．people wore the same-shaped shoes on their two feet
  （4）How does the text mainly develop？

  
  A．By providing examples.
  B．By making comparisons.
  C．By following the order of time.
  D．By following the order of importance.
