阅读理解

    Feet help us walk, run, dance and jump. The words feet and foot are also used in everyday speech.

    To be under someone's feet means to be troublesome. In other words, you are standing too close to someone and are getting in their way. Some adults criticize (批评)children for being under foot.

    Speaking of children, if someone says their home will soon have the pitter-patter of tiny feet, it means the family is expecting a baby! Now, people who are active do not let grass grow under their feet. They are never in one place for very long. People who can think and take action at the same time are said to be able to think on their feet.

    Some people appear to have it all. They have money, a good education, good looks, a great family and a large circle of friends. You could say they have the world at their feet. This means whatever they want seems be there for them.

    People who have both feet firmly on the ground are realistic and practical. They are not dreamy. You might say such a person is well grounded. If you are a bad dancer, you might be described as having two left feet. To dance well, it is better to have a right foot and a left foot.

    Sam loves skiing. He thinks that it would be fun to own a ski resort (滑雪场)high in the mountains. But he knows nothing about running a business. So, he decides to get his feet wet. In other words, he wants to get used to a new situation.

    He joins an organization for resort owners and attends their meetings. He travels to ski areas all over the United States. This helps Sam get his foot in the door. Having a foot in the door is a starting point. This expression comes from people selling things door-to-door. They would block the door with their foot so people couldn't close the door on them.

(1)、What would you say to someone who is "under your feet"?
A、Oh, I'm terribly sorry. B、Take off your feet! C、Sorry for the trouble. D、Excuse me, you are in the way.
(2)、Which of the following describes people who keep moving about?
A、They are always under foot. B、They have pitter-patter of tiny feet. C、They never let grass grow under their feet. D、They can think on their feet.

Recently, secondhand transaction(交易) has become quite popular in our daily life. More and more secondhand goods have found their way in the market, such as used books, furniture and even cars. Why do so many people like to buy secondhand goods? One of the most important reasons is that the Internet provides a more convenient and quicker transaction platform(平台) for secondhand goods.

Li Li, 29, an office worker in Shanghai, sells used products online. Since she began to cooperate with a secondhand transaction platform two years ago, she has sold nearly 14,000 yuan of goods.

The size of China's secondhand product market rose from about 300 billion yuan in 2015 to more than 1 trillion yuan in 2022. Xinhua News Agency reported that the rapidly growing Chinese online resale platforms have also driven secondhand transactions. 

"The increase shows Chinese young people's changing views on consum-ption(消费)," said Zhang Li, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation. "Traditionally, buying used products is often seen as a sign of being poor that is socially shameful. But today they focus on the actual value of the product instead of whether it is completely new," said Zhang.

Secondhand consumption also shows the ideas of environmental protection and the need to cut down on waste. "Humans are the creators of things in life and should be responsible for everything they create," said Lu Yaping, the founder of a secondhand goods exchange platform.

As students, we have homework every day. Here is some advice for us to finish our homework well.

 Doing homework should be the first thing, and we should do our homework as soon as we get home. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also for stretching(伸展) breaks.

 It is our duty to do our homework. Don't depend on our parents for help. Please try to find the answer by ourselves because we will learn much more in this way.

 When we have a question, especially something about science or maths, don't always turn to smart phone, iPad or computer! We need to think hard, then try to solve the problems by ourselves. We can also look at our textbooks carefully, or use some tool books. We can't learn anything without thinking.

 Finally, while doing homework, don't think about or do other things. Keep working. We can set a time limit(限制) to help with this. Different ages decide different study time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that is aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is right for a child aged9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes at the ages of 13-15. What's more, the ability to pay attention and stay on tasks also decides the study time. So it is natural that some kids may be not good at it.
