It was August in the US,and the school year had just started,when one parent received an unexpected phone call.
Stacie Dunn had been called to Woodford County High School because her teenage daughter had been caught going against the dress rules. But the offense left Dunn shocked.
She arrived to find her daughter in a set of pretty ordinary clothes:a cardigan,a tank top and jeans. The trouble,administrators indicated,lay with her daughter's exposed collarbone (锁骨).Bare shoulders and naked collarbones are illegal under Woodford County High School's dress rules. Students who break these rules can receive detention (the punishment of being kept at school for a time after school)—or after multiple violations (违纪),be prevented from going to school entirely.
Dunn was very shocked and angry.“Parents are being called away from their important jobs,and students are missing important class time because they are showing their collarbones,” she wrote on the social media site Facebook,attaching a picture of her daughter in the offending clothes.“Something needs to change!”
Dress rules vary by school districts and are often decided by teachers and school administrators. Yoga pants and skinny jeans are banned. Certain dress rules also require kneelength pants and skirts.
Some school administrators argue they are simply supporting having a professional standard of dress to prepare their students for their future careers. But others have told students that their clothes present a “distraction” to others.
Certain schools have chosen to reevaluate their dress rules,with input from parents and students. Even Woodford County High School—home of the “collarbone” ban—is reconsidering its policies this month. But,at_least_for_now,the_dress_rule_debate_is_far_from_over.
1.Why was Stacie Dunn called to Woodford County High School?

A. She wasn't in favor of what the school did.
B. She turned to Facebook for help.

It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non-English speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play. If I tried to talk to him, he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
After a day or two of this, I decided to seek the help of one of my outgoing and friendly little girls. I called her over and she ran to me, ready to help.
I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her. I asked her if she would try to get him to play, and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this, she could do that, she could try this idea, she could try that idea. She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six-year-old can, and said, “Don’t worry. I speak kid.” And she ran off.
I stood there all alone, silently watching her. It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off, hand in hand, happily joining a game of tag(捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.
I often think of that small moment, about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid, little kid and middle kid. I knew my focus must be on teaching students how to think, how to approach problems, and how to figure out solutions and never take the opportunity away. We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us, the teachers, as well as our kids.
1..
Why did the author worry about the boy?
A. He didn’t dare to look the author in the eye.
B. He couldn’t speak English as well as other students.
C. He failed to understand what the author taught.
D. He was unwilling to communicate with others.
2..
After the girl agreed to help, the author________.
A. taught her what to do in detail B. thanked her for her willingness to help
C. sent her to make friends with the boy at once
D. reminded her of what she should be careful about
3..
By saying “I speak kid”, the girl meant that she could________.
A. speak the language that kids understand B. speak the boy’s native language
C. understand what kids are thinking D. speak well like a little kid
4..
The underlined words “the opportunity” refer to the chance to ________.
A. play at break time B. learn from students
C. solve problems D. speak kid

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas(胰腺). I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which was doctor’s code for preparing to die. It meant to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It meant to make sure everything was buttoned up so that it would be as easy as possible for your family. It meant to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy(活组织检查). I was calm, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
This is the closest I’ve been to facing death. No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by the principle — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
1.The author's main purpose in writing the passage is to let the readers __________.
A.be brave when facing a cancer
B.treasure their lifetime to fulfill their own business
C.know a sorrowful experience of his won
D.know how he treasured his family.
2.Why can the author's illness be cured so soon?
A.He prepared everything in order. B.He had a biopsy.
C.His pancreatic cancer can be curable with surgery. D.His wife helped him.
3.The impression the author gave readers is that __________.
A.he was so optimistic that the incurable illness wouldn't bring him down.
B.he could leave death alone and had enough courage to become what he wanted to.
C.he was so determined that he wasn't scared at death.
D.he was such a responsible man that he prepared well before he died.
4.What does the underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Gods. B.The doctors
C.Heart and intuition D.Other persons

An 18-year-old high school student who had just learned to swim in the last summer vacation saved the life of a drowning Ohio boy on Friday afternoon.
Tom Erickson was credited with (因......而受赞扬)saving the life of Jason Pryor,10, in Mill Creek (小河) Park. Young Jason Pryor, from Chillicothe, was visiting relatives from Anchor Point when he fell into Mill Creek.
The Pryor boy had no business playing near the edge of the river, but he had no idea of the danger.
The creek, with much more water than usual for the recent spring rains, flowed fast and carried the boy around a bend and out of sight from his parents, who took Jason out there and said they had not even witnessed the incident.
Luckily for Jason, one of the most unselfish students from Brentwood’s Central High School was taking a walk alone through the park.
As soon as he found the boy struggling in the water, Erickson jumped into the creek and managed to pull the drowning boy out of the water. And it was reported that Erickson had never received any life-saving instruction before.
“I wasn’t sure I could do it,” Erickson said. “I didn’t know if I could swim through the river by myself, not to mention getting another person out with me.”
This incident should be a lesson to young children who do not know how to swim. Stay away from dangerous bodies of water.
1. Young Jason Pryor lives at _______.
A. Anchor Point B. Chillicothe, Ohio C. Mill Creek D. Brentwood
2.Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?
A. Life-saving instruction helped a lot in the incident.
B. Jason’s parents saw him fall into the creek but couldn’t help.
C. The creek flowed fast because it was very straight without any bends.
D. Erickson was not sure if he could save the boy when jumping into the creek.
3.What’s the possible meaning of the underlined sentence “The Pryor boy had no business playing near the edge of the river,” in the third paragraph?
A. The accident was none of the boy’s business.
B. The boy had no friends to play with him.
C. The boy shouldn’t have played near the creek.
D. The boy was very busy and had no time to play.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Did You Know the Danger of Water B. Be Responsible Parents

When Spencer West was just five years old, he had a serious disease that resulted in the amputation(截肢)of both his legs. However, the young Canadian has never let his disability get in his way. He has shown that he could do anything a person with two legs could do, including climbing the world’s highest snowcovered mountain—Mt. Kilimanjaro!
Spencer’s great adventure to get to the top of the 19,341foothigh peak began on June 13th from the small village of Naro Moru in Kenya. The team included his best friends David Johnson and Alex Meers.
For the first few days, Spencer walked 80 percent of the rocky road using his hands. Only when it became impossible would he use the wheel chair. As would be expected, the nights were very terrible—The ground underneath was rocky and the temperatures were lower than they expected.
Hard as it was, Spencer did not surrender the goal even once. However, as the road started becoming steeper(陡峭的) and rockier, his friends became worried about him—Even though
Spencer had spent over a year training for this event with his hands, they worried that he would have some serious injuries if he continued. They decided that in the last two days Spencer West would cut back his independent climb to half day and be carried the other half.
Things got more and more difficult as they got closer to the top. As the air got thinner, they suffered from sickness and the shortage of energy so that they stopped any talk—They needed all their energy to keep going. The only thought in their minds was to get to the top.
But, it was all worth it—Finally, Spencer West climbed Africa’s highest peak!

About five years ago I started at a new school when my family moved to Iowa. I was just a little excited, but I worried I would never fit in with the other sixth graders.
Lucy, a girl in my class, who I thought was not ready for change, didn’t like me from the start. In fact, I was pretty sure she hated me. I would ask her a question, and I could tell she thought I was a total fool.
My teacher made us sit by each other for the last term. Lucy was horrified (惊骇的). I didn’t wear make-up (化妆品), and I didn’t wear those terrible bell-bottom pants. I didn’t exactly look like the coolest girl. But, I kept smiling at her, though she rolled her eyes, and I kept telling her she looked beautiful, even when she was angry.
Finally, Lucy let me talk to her, even in sight of her “cool” friends. She started telling me how beautiful I looked. I still remember that first time when she smiled at me saying that, and I smiled right back, telling her thanks. Lucy invited me over to her house for a party, and talked to me all the time instead of her other friends. Lucy, the girl who hated me, called me her best friend. After that, we still were good friends a whole year later.
I may have moved to Arizona after that, but I will never forget Lucy. It’s funny — I still remember her birthday. She was a great friend. And to think, she considered me her enemy at first. Though it was hard, and it felt like I was wasting my time, and losing my dignity (尊严), I still smiled at Lucy when she made fun of me. I’m not stupid, I didn’t think she was right in doing those things, but I still put up with it. And we became great friends.
About two weeks ago, I read a sentence by Abraham Lincoln: “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?” Immediately, I smiled, thinking of Lucy. That sentence just reminded me how great it was for me to change Lucy into my friend in that state of Iowa five years ago.

A.she looked stupid when asking questions

2.How did the author change Lucy’s attitude towards her?
A.By wearing make-up.
B.By keeping smiling at Lucy.

D.By sitting beside Lucy in class.
3.From Paragraph 5, we know the author thought ________.
A.it was right of her to suffer when making friends
B.it was a waste of time to make friends with Lucy
C.it was a shameful thing to put up with what Lucy did
D.it was foolish of her to smile at Lucy all the time
