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 official—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 (嘲笑) 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. Whatever the 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. 43. Who agrees to wear school uniforms?
A. Heba. B. Sherine. C. Susan. D. Reema.
44. 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. 45. Which of the following sentences can summarize (概述) 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.
C
Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You're becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.
The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure (结构) of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations（目的地）. When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain made more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain's job is to make that map more efficient（有效率的）.
As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.
This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you're good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they're useful. Remember that with everything you do, you're shaping your brain for the future. 46. What happens as children learn new things? A. Their brains make the maps more efficient.
B. The structures of their brains are like big road maps. C. Their brains make more roads to different destinations. D. Many different roads lead to the most important places. 47. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Your brain.
B. Something you see. C. Your skill.
D. Something you learn.
48. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Making Decisions for Yourself.

B. Developing Your Brain for the Future. C. Ways of Changing Your Brain. D. Changes Happening in Your Brain.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
49. The passage tells us not to _________ because everyone is special. A. be afraid of difficulties B. be afraid to learn
C. run through life so fast
D. compare yourself with others to look down on your worth
50.The sentence “Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.” means that . A. Nothing is possible
B. If we don’t give up, there is always hope C. You should learn to give up
D. Although you try, nothing will change. 51. The best way to keep love is to ___________. A. say it’s impossible B. give it C. give it wings D. hold it tightly 52. According to the passage, which is the best title? ___________ A. Nothing is impossible. B. Glass balls are easy to be broken. C. Things you can’t do. D. Treat your life in a right way.

The activity started on April 12. Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet (手环). If the students did not use their cell phones, there would be a photo on the screen of the bracelet to show that. If they used their cell phones, a different photo would appear on the screen of the bracelet. After the last class of each day, the students sent the photos to the school’s public Wechat.
More than 800 students wished to take part in this test, and 400 were chosen. After seven days, only 103 students remained. The test was set for 21 days because some scientists believe that 21 days is long enough to help people form a habit.
According to the teachers in the university, the activity was not a competition. It depended on students themselves to make the decision. The teachers hoped their students could form better study habits through activities like this one.
73. When did the activity “Cell Phone Ninja” start? 74. Why was the test set for 21 days?
