Read the text. Then choose the correct answer to questions 34-36.
We are so used to wearing shoes that few of us even think about them, apart from the times when we put them on and take them off. However, people didn’t always wear shoes.
No one knows when people first began to use them. It is reasonable to suppose that the first shoes that covered feet were wrappings of animal skins worn in cold climates. Sandals worn in southern regions were most likely made of wood, with leather or cloth attaching the soles to the upper part of the foot.
Over time, shoes became used not only for protection but also for decoration. For example, high heels came into fashion in the sixteen hundreds and were worn by men. However uncomfortable they are, people have continued to wear them for more than three
hundred years. Today's shoes are relatively cheap because most models are designed by computer, and their components are cut by laser and sewn together by programmed machinery.
