School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the USA. That’s no surprise , because they offer many benefits. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes. Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule ----- wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers(阻碍）; school uniforms tear those barriers down. Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children's “creativity”. First, as noted above , the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality(个性). They just copy their classmates . Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and math; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way. As in other places , uniforms remind the wearers of their purpose and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the symbol(象征) of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearers meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education. 1.In Paragraph 1, the word “benefits” probably means ____________ . A. tasks B. messages C. differences D. advantages 2.Some parents are against school uniforms because _______________ . A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms. B. they believe that uniforms will make students less creative C. they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers D. they think that school uniforms are too popular 3.From the passage we learn that uniforms in general _____________ . A. prevent the wearers from being laughed at. B. help the wearers keep their duties in mind. C. are seen as a symbol of power. D. help to create social barriers

Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class. Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals. 1.During the test, those who were tested were given ________. A. different breakfast or none B. very rich breakfast C. little food for breakfast D. no breakfast at all 2.According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ___________. A. he will fall ill B. his mind will work more slowly C. he will not make progress in his study D. he will fail to listen to his teacher 3.The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will ______. A. be healthier B. not lose weight C. lose weight D. gain a lot of weight 4.Which of the following is Not True according to the passage? A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains. B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter. C. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight. D. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be.
The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say, "You're my knight in shining armor." He was smiling and basking in pride, looking back at her as if to reply, "You got that right." The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, "Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus." The ticket lady quoted the price. The man's wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lip began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, "How much did you say?" The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didn't have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn‘t have enough money to take them to the circus? Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I feel sorry for them. 注意： 1. 所续写的短文词数应为150左右； 2. 应使用5个以上短文标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词。 Paragraph 1 Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 That day my father and I went to our car and drove home without any tickets. _____________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
