(2024·重庆市七校联考)Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you're in a hurry is one of the most annoying things.But now，Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex，one of the UK's largest shopping malls，has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry，aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.
The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720-foot.“Fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only，just in time for the festive rush.The centre's management team said：“The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don't want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”
The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping.The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period，as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.
Gary Mortimer，an expert from the Queensland University of Technology，said he wasn't surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane，and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world.
“Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，” he said.“I think the fast lanes

are a new approach.However，I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway，so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”
The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely，“Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers，“Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds，and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.

(2024·沈阳市教学质量监测一)With smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives，it is only a matter of time before someone invents smart shoes —ones that can be made based on personal needs.Called “ShiftWear”， the sneakers are the brainchild of a team of businessmen，and engineers led by New York-based designer David Coelho.
The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app.Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD patterns by famous artists or creating one themselves.The company's founders imagine the marketplace where artists can not only share but also sell their designs to others.Despite being electronic，the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight.What's even cooler is that by switching on backlight，users can even show their designs in the dark!
According to Coelho，the sneakers will keep their charge forever if only images are displayed.Though they will need periodic recharging，active users have nothing to worry about.That's because the shoes are equipped with special Walk-N-Charge technology that powers the shoes—with every step.Inactive users also have options of charging the sneakers without using wires.
The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevlar fibers，a kind of strong material，reducing normal wear and tear.Even better，they are completely waterproof (防水的) and can even be thrown into an ordinary laundry machine for a quick wash! The company predicts that the shoes will range in price from $150 to $1,000 depending on the size of the E-Panels where the designs are displayed.
This is not the first time that electronics and shoes have combined.Lithuania -based iShuh Technologies has come up with a similar concept that connects e-reader panels to a smart phone app via the Bluetooth.Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen，though they surely are attractive.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种智能运动鞋。 5．What can we know about the smart shoes from the text?
