One day a farmer went out for a walk with his little son. The farmer wore a pair of wrong shoes. One had thick sole(厚鞋底) but the other didn’t. He began to walk and then his feet hurt. When he was just out of the house, he turned to his son and said, “Why is one of my legs longer than the other today?”
The son looked at his father’s legs carefully as he was walking and then laughed, “Oh, no, Daddy. Your legs are all right. You’re wearing the wrong shoes.” The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, “What a clever son!” Then he asked his son to go back and got the other pair of shoes for him. The farmer had only two pairs of shoes.
When the son ran back to the house, he found that the other pair was also a wrong pair. He had to return to his father with nothing in his hands and said, “It’s no use changing them, Daddy! The shoes at home are not a pair, either!”

What’s the coolest kind of transportation(交通) for middle school students back from winter holidays? A racing bike? A car? No, it’s a special kind of shoes called Heelys(暴走鞋). Heelys look just like common sports shoes, but they have a wheel(轮子) hidden(藏) in the heel(鞋跟). So instead of walking, kids can “fly” around in them.
“Wearing Heelys is fun and cool!” said Wu Peng, a boy who wore them on his first day back at No. 6 Middle School in Beijing. Wu Peng said he loves the shoes so much that he wears them to go here and there. Sometimes he even follows his parents’ car to the supermarket in his Heelys!
Other students also think they are very cool, but some aren’t so lucky with their Heelys. It’s said that some children fell down and got hurt while wearing these shoes.
“Heelys wheels are in the heels of the shoes, so it’s easy to fall,” said Liu Rui, a doctor at the Hong Kong International Medical Clinic, Beijing. Even worse, Liu said, “Wearing Heelys for a long time could stop young people from developing their legs. ”

When you want to go shopping, you will decide how much money you can pay for new clothes and think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then you just only look for those clothes. There’re labels(标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The labels may say “dry-clean only”. If you put these clothes into the water to wash them, you may ruin(损坏) them.
Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry-cleaning is expensive. So when you buy new clothes, check if they will need to be dry-cleaned. You’ll save money if your clothes can be washed in water.
You can save money also if you buy clothes that are well-made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times.
