I'm confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence(暴力) is the least civilized(文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?

When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees(难民) exist, too.

A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really “make peace” by killing so many people? I don't think bombs(炸弹) can reach people's hearts and change them. Bombs can't create love and caring, and that's what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can't they use their wisdom(智慧) and talk it over?

Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don't they act as what they say?

---A page from a 12-year-old boy, Joshua's diary.

November 21 is World Hello Day. At school, we learned that “How do you do?” and “How are you?” are standard ways to say hello when meeting others. But do you know how to reply to them? Nowadays, do native speakers seldom use them today?

As we learned, “How do you do?” is for greeting someone we meet for the f　 1.　　 time. And it can be answered with the same “How do you do?”. “How are you?” is often used to greet someone we k　　 2.　 well. It usually follows with an answer of “I’m good, and you?” or “I’m fine, and you?”.

But English is a casual (随意的) language. The formal “How do you do?” is rarely said by native speakers. It is considered old-fashioned. Yet they greet each other in m 3.　　 other ways.

You may hear a conversation b　 4.　　 British people: “You all right?” “Yeah, you?” “I’m good. Any plans for the weekend?” or “How’s it going?” “Yea, fine, and you?”. These ways of greeting are p　　 5.　 for young people to say hello to friends.

Americans like saying, “What’s up?” or “What’s good?” to friends. Don’t be confused (混淆的). It doesn’t m　　 6.　 “What’s wrong?”. It is just one way of saying hello. And people usually give answers like “Not much” or “Nothing”. “Hey, man” is also popular. But it is only used among men. What do w　　 7.　　 say? You guessed it. They often say “Hey, girl.”

If you meet an Australian, you may h　　 8.　 “G’day, mate”. It means “Good day”. You can reply with the same “G’day”.

However, there is no rule to say hello to each other. If you can’t r 9.　 all of the above, just say “How are you?”. This is the most c　　 10.　 and standard way for people of all ages. You can reply with “pretty good”, “same as usual” or “I’m hanging in there.”

These days, I’m surprised at what my classmates have changed since school started. It’s not just the new teachers, new buildings, or new rules. I also notice how people are dressing differently. Dressing is not just a choice to keep warm. It’s also a healthy personal choice in so many ways.

Dress rules: Many schools have dress rules. They tell students what to wear at school. The teachers don’t hope to see their students wear unsuitable clothes in the classroom.

Self-respect: The way we dress shows the way we feel about ourselves. If we aren’t confident or need lots of attention, we’ll often dress in ways that help us get that attention. If you want to get attention in a healthy way, you don’t need to dress in an interesting way to express your mind.

Body image(形象): If some kids look very bad or ugly, dressing properly(正确地) can cover them. And it can also help them feel beautiful and comfortable among their friends.

Being what you wear: Dressing is important. Dressing in a wrong way can make people mistake(误解)you. People like to judge according to what they see. Clothing can often give people a wrong idea.

1. The writer feels very ____________ because of the way his classmates dress these days.

A. happy  　　　     B. surprised 　　　　

C. angry 　　　　     D. sad

2.The writer thinks that how a person dresses _______.

A. isn’t just a choice to keep warm

B. can’t express his or her mind

C. is giving people the wrong idea　　　

D. can’t get other people’s attention

3.The underlined word “Self-respect” means “　　　　 ” in Chinese in the passage.

A. 贬低　　　　     B. 自嘲　　　　　　

C. 自尊　   　　     D. 伤感

4. The writer suggests that students should wear clothes in the right way　 　　　 .

A. to help them feel comfortable　　　　

B. to become famous

C. to cover their bad habits　　　　　　　

D. to avoid(避免) being mistaken
