Some people think that the debate (辩论) about ...

Some people think that the debate (辩论) about school uniforms is just about whether students look cool. In fact, this problem is connected with　 other　 topics,　 such　 as　 student　 performance　 (表现),　 money,　 and personal choice. The school uniform debate is very important to parents, teachers, and school officials—and to students, too! Many students argue (争论) that school uniforms would save their parents' money. According to Nahla, an eighth-grader, "Kids whose families don't have a lot of money wouldn't be teased for their unfashionable clothes." Besides, some students think that uniforms would help them give much attention to learning. "I think it's a great idea.

Wearing uniforms would teach students that schoolwork is more important than looking good," argues tenth-grader, Heba. Others believe that school uniforms would help students study better. In the words of a twelfth-grader named Aziza, "If　 all　 students　 have　 to　 wear　 the　 same　 uniform,　 they　 will　 try　 to　 impress　 others　 with　 their schoolwork and grades, not their clothes." Some students are against school uniforms. They argue that uniforms would cost their parents more money. "Uniforms are expensive and can only be worn at school. My parents would still have to buy me other clothes to wear on weekends and after school," explains ninth-grader, Sherine. According to a twelfth-grader named Susan, "School uniforms don't allow personal choice." She feels that uniforms don't allow students to be creative or express their own decisions about what to wear. Finally, many students like eleventh grader Reema say that uniforms are uncomfortable. "Students like to wear comfortable clothes," she says.

In a word, there are strong arguments on both sides of the school uniform debate. Whateverthe result is, one thing is important: before making a decision about whether to require uniforms, school officials must consider the opinions of everyone—especially the students.

1.Who agrees to wear school uniforms?

A. Heba. B. Sherine. C. Susan. D. Reema.

2.Read the sentence: "School uniforms can't be worn for long and have to be changed often." We can most probably put this sentence in 　　 _.

A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.

3.The word "teased" in Paragraph 2 means "　　　　　　　　　　 ."

A. admired B. refused C. laughed at D. looked at

4.Which of the following sentences can summarize (总结) the article?

A. Some students are against wearing school uniforms.

B. The school uniform debate is mostly about personal choice.

C. Many students think that school uniforms would save parents' money

D. There are strong arguments on both sides of the school uniform debate.

Americans think that travel is good for people. Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems—crime(犯罪).

Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs.

There are many young criminals(罪犯) in prison(监狱). But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent(百分比) will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest”.

He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(货车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year.

The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.

It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.

Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Thirty or forty percent till one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.

Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”

1.According to the passages, travel is good for people because it can　　　　 .

A、get rid of(摆脱) crime completely

B、change the way of life

C、help to reduce criminals

2.Which of the following is NOT the character of the criminals?

A、A lot of them are young.

B、They may often drink wine too much and take drugs.

C、They like travelling far away from their homes.

3.Which of the following is TRUE?

A、Young criminals become less and less as time goes by.

B、All criminals do better after they come out of prison.

C、Many young criminals are changed better by Bob’s new idea.

4.The young people on Vision Quest have to　　　　 .

A、work all day and night

B、get up early to feed horses

C、love the homes

5.What does the underlined sentence “Go west, young men.” in the last paragraph mean?

A、People can learn to be strong and brave on a long journey.

B、People can learn to help others in time of danger on a long journey.

C、Both A and B.
