Seventy-three-year-old Gary selected his food in Value Mart more carefully than NASA chose its candidates for the space shuttle．Skim milk was $2.99, on sale from $3.49; white bread, 89 cents with a discount; table salt, 99 cents, 20 cents off the regular price．Leaving the cashier , he estimated that he had saved 80 cents today．He was pleased that he had got good value for his money again.
At the exit, the cold wind reminded him of his gloves．“Now where are they？” Not in the coat pockets．Not in the grocery bag either．The worried man made a thorough search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag．Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.
Old Gary had bought the black gloves at a 25% discount ten years ago．His quick decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as poorer passengers stared at him enviously．Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.
Gary re-entered the store with long steps．He followed the same route he had walked before．There were all open passages and it did not take long to be convinced that the gloves were not in sight.
“Society has changed, people have changed，” he murmured to himself．“Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back．Not any more！”
On his way out, he went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves．She asked him what color they were, and when he said “black”， there came a disappointing answer．He took his time now, finally walking out of the store.
Back home, Gary was at a loss．In deep winter, he could not do without a pair of gloves．He was very upset that people no longer returned things they found on the road.
After a month, Gary decided to buy another leather pair．Before boarding the subway, he stepped into Value Mart again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office．“What color are they？” the woman in the office asked again．“Black”， he gave the same answer．She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men's leather gloves．“Are they？”
“Yes! Those are mine！” Gary exclaimed, his eyes glowing with joy. 39. According to the passage, Gary thought his buying the gloves to be ________.

The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries, personal trainers say. Here are some shopping tips:
? Consider your type of exercise. Depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, or other specialties will give the best support for your feet.
? Shop when you normally exercise. Feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up by as much as a half-size, by nighttime. So don’t shop first thing in the morning if you often work out in the evening.
? Try them on. Never buy a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy. Bring the type of socks you’d wear to work out and go for a walk through the store.
? Focus on fit. You should be able to fan your toes out comfortably, with about a 1cm of space between them and the front of the shoe. The back should fit against your heel and not move up and down. If your feet are different sizes, buy based on the larger one.
? Don't look to “break in” shoes. While shoes may get more flexible with use, they should be comfortable the first time you wear them.
? Talk to an expert. Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride
