In recent years, the growing trend of barefoot running has started a debate among athletes and doctors about the possible health benefits of running with very light sandals or no shoes at all. Some athletes say that running barefoot has helped them cure or avoid injuries; others claim that running barefoot has improved their running form and race times. Opponents, however, say that there is no scientific or medical proof that barefoot running (18) ________. Researchers point out that many of the world’s best long distance running cultures - the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico and the Marathon Monks of Enryaku Temple in Japan, for example - run either barefoot or in thin sandals and don’t often suffer leg injuries. These same experts note that certain injuries (19) ________ are rare among barefoot running cultures, especially back and knee issues. Barefoot running supporters believe that going shoeless strengthens foot and calf muscles, improves balance, reduces the shock of hitting the ground, and actually makes some runners faster. Researchers have noted that running barefoot encourages runners to land more on the front of the foot -the forefoot or ball of the foot - rather than on the heel, which is what most people do when they run in shoes. This causes a smaller part of the foot to come to a sudden stop when the foot first lands, allowing the natural spring-like motion of the foot and leg to absorb any further shock. By contrast, (20) ________. A 2012 study compared runners wearing shoes and running barefoot. (21) ________. Despite this, there is still no clear-cut data, and the debate about barefoot running is alive and well.

Welcome to the International Express, the most international train journey in the world. Every day, some of New York's three million immigrants take the Number 7 train from Queens to Manhattan and each stop is like a different country. Get off at Flushing station and experience China, go to Corona and you're in Mexico; the next stop is India at Jackson Heights. Many immigrants are from Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa or Asia. If you listen carefully, you can hear more than 100 different languages. So why is this train so popular? A hundred years ago, most immigrants lived in Manhattan, but by 1910 Manhattan was overcrowded and life was very difficult. Then, in 1917, things improved, thanks to a new train to a suburb called Queens. Immigrants moved out of the city because there was more space in Queens, but they could still get to work in Manhattan. These first immigrants came to New York to escape poverty and war, and to have a better life. Today, people come for the same reasons. Manuela Garcia's family is typical. Her father, Tomas, came from Mexico in 1986 and sold tacos from a small food stall next to Corona station. Tomas got through hard times, saved his money and bought a bakery. Today the jukebox there plays Mexican songs and a satellite TV shows Mexican TV programmes. 'We're proud of our culture, but the bakery is not just for Mexicans,' says Tomas. 'We have Polish and Turkish customers, too. We all get on with each other.' The train speeds past LaGuardia airport as the rain stops and the sun comes out. Manuela looks out of the window and watches the planes take off. People are getting away to experience the world. Manuela smiles. She doesn't need to go to faraway countries - the world is right there on the Number 7 train. (Adapted from Insight) Question 23. According to paragraph 1, what is said about the Number 7 train? A.
