When students and teachers at School 16in Rochester,NY, start the new school year in a newer school building,they'll leave their old building's list of problems behind.
As teachers finish unloading boxes and setting up their new classro?oms,they hope the newer buildings will give students renewed pride in their school. Ed?ucation experts say the move could also bring a rise to the school's flagging test scores,because better school buildings actually improve academic performance.
When School 16 was moved to a newer building,the school's old building was in terrible condition：bathrooms lacked sinks and privacy; stairs were missing safety rails; and the 100-year-old building was crowded. Students describe peeling paint and rats in the classrooms.
Teacher Michele Michel says the poor condition of the old building weakened the school of its spirit. "You look at that and it's like,why? Why do you want to take care of your school?" Michel says. "So what if I throw a piece of paper on the ground? It doesn't make a difference; there's other paper on the ground."
More than bad looks,bad buildings are a drain on academic performance,ac?cording to Glen Earthman,a professor. "Students see surroundings that are not very pleasant,and it does reduce their desire to learn”，Earthman says.
He says students who attend schools in disrepair score 3 to 10 percentage points lower on state tests than students in satisfactory buildings,and the effects are worse over the years students spend in the buildings.
With bigger hallways and larger classrooms,teacher Michele Michel says the boost to student confidence in the new building will improve academics. "I think if you come in and you're happy,you know,you will be all about this place," Michel says. "I think you will get it,and you'll get more successful."
But Jaida Thomas,an eighth grader,says she is not sure all of her peers will take pride in their new building. "With the negative people in the school? they'll probably just mess up the school," Thomas says. "They'll just mess it up for themselves."

"Shoes convey thin but useful information about their wearers," the authors wrote in a new study. " Shoes serve as a practical pur?pose,and also serve as nonverbal cues （暗示） with symbolic messa?ges. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."
Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits (特点) found includes a person's general age,gender,income and other personality traits like one's emotional stability.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgements were based on the style,cost,colour and condition of someone's shoes. In the study,63 University of Kan?sas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most com?monly worn shoes? and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
Some of the results were expected：people with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashy (闪光的) shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.
However,some results are puzzling. For example, " practical" shoes were generally worn by more "agreeable" people,while ankle boots were more closely connected with "aggressive" personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortablelooking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities.
And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take too much care of them,you may suffer from "attachment anxiety", spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality.
1. Researchers were surprised at the result that .
A. the rich wore expensive shoes

A. are frightened to meet people
B. are anxious about being misunderstood
C. pay much attention to others' appearances
D. worry about others' opinions about their looks
3. It can be inferred from the text that .
A. all people's personality can be judged by their shoes
B. all the results agreed with what researchers had expected
C. you may make a mistake when you judge a person by shoes
D. people with ankle boots are less aggressive
4. What kind of shoes does a person most probably wear if he is pleasant and kind to others?
A. Ankle boots.
B. Several pairs of new shoes.
C. "Uncomfortablelooking" shoes.
D. "Practical" shoes.

Y. E. S. ―a small group of high school students is not just learning about the envi?ronment around them,but they're actually doing something to improve it.
"This group has done a series of projects,from recy?cling about 600 pounds of tennis shoes,to over 50 cellpho?nes ,"said Patrick Merrick,a school teacher and Y. E. S. adviser.

"We have been able to save money with the help of our school energy audit,make money with both the shoe and the cellphone recycling,keep a large amount of garbage out of the landfills (废物填埋地) with those recycling projects and make it possible for community members to use energysaving things”，Frank and Hanson said.
While the group is working towards making a differ?ence in the environment around them,they express their thankfulness for people's support.
"Without the help of our community and school,we would not have been able to make these recycling projects possible," Frank and Hanson said.
