of room left in it. If the foot has become too large, a tiny valve opens and the shoe expands slightly. The entire control system is about
5 square mm and is (49) ____ inside the shoe. This radical shoe meets a need because the volume of the average foot can change by as
much as 8% during the course of the day. The system is able to learn about the wearer's feet and (50) ____ a picture of the size of his

c. Choose the paragraphs A-F to fit into the numbered gaps in the following magazine article.
A. It's not that I'm suggesting that sailors should go back to
enduring every hardship. It's always been important to me that
my boats have a coal stove for warmth and dryness and cosy
berths for sleeping. But why go cruising at all if every sail sets,
rolls and fastens itself?
B. Back on land, however, it is a sad fact that the very antiquity
of classic boats means that they need a lot of looking after.
When I had a bad injury to my back, I realised that my IS-year
love affair with her had to end. Searching for a younger
replacement produced no credible contenders, so I decided to
build a new boat from scratch.
C. In her timeless serenity, she is the living proof that it works;
that there is no need to follow current fashions to find
satisfaction, and that sometimes it pays to listen to the lessons of
history.
D. The next version was nearly right and by the time the final one
appeared, the form was perfect. The completed boat has now
crossed the North Atlantic and has won four out of her first six
racing starts.
E. Perhaps I am, though I doubt it. This boat has benefited from
all the magic of old fashioned boat design, but it would have been
a much harder job without the advances of modern know-how.
F. For me a boat should always be a boat and not a cottage on
the water. When I bought an earlier boat, Hirta, in which I
circumnavigated Britain for a TV race series, the previous owner
observed that she had every comfort, but no luxury. During my
long relationship with her, Hirta taught me how wise he was.
THE BOAT OF MY DREAMS
The best boat design should combine old and new, says Tom 57. _____________________________________
Cunliffe. And he put it into practice in his own craft, 'The Her sails were heavy, and she had no pumped water, no electricity
3
Westerman'.
This week, the Summer Boat Show in London is resplendent
with fine yachts, bristling with new technology. Nearly all
are descendants of the hull-shape revolution that took place
25 years ago. By contrast, my own lies quietly on a tidal
creek off the south coast. She was designed last year but,
seeing her, you might imagine her to be 100 years old and
think that her owner must be some kind of lost-soul
romantic.
55. _____________________________________
It has to be said, however, that despite being an
indispensable tool in current design methods and boatbuilding practice, sophisticated technology frequently
insulates crews from the harsh realities of maritime life.
These are often the very realities they hoped to rediscover by
going to sea in the first place.
56. _____________________________________
The occasional battle with flapping canvas is surely part of a
seaman's life. And for what purpose should we abandon
common sense and move our steering positions from the
security of the aft end to some vulnerable perch half-way to
the bow? The sad answer is that this creates a cabin like that
of an ocean liner, with space for a bed larger than the one at
home.
to speak of, no fridge, no central heating, no winches, and
absolutely no electronics, especially in the navigation department,
yet she was the kindest, easiest boat that I have ever sailed at sea.
58. _____________________________________
The Westerman has never disappointed me. Although Nigel Irens,
the designer, and Ed Burnett, his right-hand man, are adept with
computer-assisted design programs, Irens initially drew this boat on
a paper napkin, and only later transferred his ideas to the computer.
After this had generated a set of lines, he carved a model, just as
boatyards did in the days of sail. Together we considered the
primary embryonic vessel, and then fed the design back into the
electronic box for modification.
59. _____________________________________
Her appearance is ageless, her motion at sea is a pleasure and her
accommodation, much of it in reclaimed pitch pine, emanates an
atmosphere of deep peace. Maybe this is because she was drawn
purely as a sailing craft, without reference to any furniture we
might put into her. That is the well-tried method of the sea.
60. _____________________________________
Constructed in timber treated with a penetrating glue, she is totally
impervious to water. Thus she has all the benefits of a glass fibre
boat yet looks like, feels like and sails like the real thing.

c. Choose the paragraphs A-F to fit into the numbered gaps in the following magazine article.
A. It's not that I'm suggesting that sailors should go back to
enduring every hardship. It's always been important to me that
my boats have a coal stove for warmth and dryness and cosy
berths for sleeping. But why go cruising at all if every sail sets,
rolls and fastens itself?
B. Back on land, however, it is a sad fact that the very antiquity
of classic boats means that they need a lot of looking after.
When I had a bad injury to my back, I realised that my IS-year
love affair with her had to end. Searching for a younger
replacement produced no credible contenders, so I decided to
build a new boat from scratch.
C. In her timeless serenity, she is the living proof that it works;
that there is no need to follow current fashions to find
satisfaction, and that sometimes it pays to listen to the lessons of
history.
D. The next version was nearly right and by the time the final one
appeared, the form was perfect. The completed boat has now
crossed the North Atlantic and has won four out of her first six
racing starts.
E. Perhaps I am, though I doubt it. This boat has benefited from
all the magic of old fashioned boat design, but it would have been
a much harder job without the advances of modern know-how.
F. For me a boat should always be a boat and not a cottage on
the water. When I bought an earlier boat, Hirta, in which I
circumnavigated Britain for a TV race series, the previous owner
observed that she had every comfort, but no luxury. During my
long relationship with her, Hirta taught me how wise he was.
THE BOAT OF MY DREAMS
The best boat design should combine old and new, says Tom 57. _____________________________________
Cunliffe. And he put it into practice in his own craft, 'The Her sails were heavy, and she had no pumped water, no electricity

Westerman'.
This week, the Summer Boat Show in London is resplendent
with fine yachts, bristling with new technology. Nearly all
are descendants of the hull-shape revolution that took place
25 years ago. By contrast, my own lies quietly on a tidal
creek off the south coast. She was designed last year but,
seeing her, you might imagine her to be 100 years old and
think that her owner must be some kind of lost-soul
romantic.
55. _____________________________________
It has to be said, however, that despite being an
indispensable tool in current design methods and boatbuilding practice, sophisticated technology frequently
insulates crews from the harsh realities of maritime life.
These are often the very realities they hoped to rediscover by
going to sea in the first place.
56. _____________________________________
The occasional battle with flapping canvas is surely part of a
seaman's life. And for what purpose should we abandon
common sense and move our steering positions from the
security of the aft end to some vulnerable perch half-way to
the bow? The sad answer is that this creates a cabin like that
of an ocean liner, with space for a bed larger than the one at
home.
to speak of, no fridge, no central heating, no winches, and
absolutely no electronics, especially in the navigation department,
yet she was the kindest, easiest boat that I have ever sailed at sea.
58. _____________________________________
The Westerman has never disappointed me. Although Nigel Irens,
the designer, and Ed Burnett, his right-hand man, are adept with
computer-assisted design programs, Irens initially drew this boat on
a paper napkin, and only later transferred his ideas to the computer.
After this had generated a set of lines, he carved a model, just as
boatyards did in the days of sail. Together we considered the
primary embryonic vessel, and then fed the design back into the
electronic box for modification.
59. _____________________________________
Her appearance is ageless, her motion at sea is a pleasure and her
accommodation, much of it in reclaimed pitch pine, emanates an
atmosphere of deep peace. Maybe this is because she was drawn
purely as a sailing craft, without reference to any furniture we
might put into her. That is the well-tried method of the sea.
60. _____________________________________
Constructed in timber treated with a penetrating glue, she is totally
impervious to water. Thus she has all the benefits of a glass fibre
boat yet looks like, feels like and sails like the real thing.
