A school in Nanjing plans to order Korean-style school uniforms (校服) for students, but parents were against the move, believing that the new uniforms looked too good and would encourage early romances among the students.

Parents: “My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying it’s her dream to wear a miniskirt to school every day,” a mom said. “My daughter also called her classmates to talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniforms! If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they concentrate on their studies?”

School: We had to stop the plan because many parents were strongly against it. Some parents thought it was just a way for the school to make money, and others thought the new uniforms would take students’ attention away from their studies.

Students: The students were very disappointed about the school’s final decision. They thought the sportswear uniforms made them look dull. They said the Korean uniforms had many advantages such as raising interest in class and lifting confidence.

As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and has no relationship to the uniforms.

The Department of Education: The schools can choose their own styles. Either sportswear or other uniforms are OK. Currently, most middle and elementary schools in Nanjing have sportswear uniforms.

Expert: Fashionable school uniforms can increase students’ interest in learning.

Parents don’t need to worry too much about early romances. Today’s primary and middle school students have strong personalities and their appreciation of beauty is rapidly forming. A fashionable uniform can develop their sense of belonging to the school and reduce their resistance(反抗) to the school’s management.

But we don’t have to follow Korean or Japanese styles. We should design our own Chinese style uniforms.

1．Students think the new uniforms will________.

    A. make them have good taste in fashion         B. make them feel confident

    C. make them feel proud of their school         D. reduce their fear of teachers

3．The opinion of the expert is to________.

   A. forbid the students to wear fashionable uniforms

B. encourage the students to wear sportswear uniforms

C. design uniforms in a Chinese style

D. wear new uniforms in a foreign style

3．We can infer from the passage that_________.

A. school uniforms are mostly blue or black

B. few students are willing to wear school uniforms

    C. school uniforms are a waste of money

D. schools are encouraged to choose their own uniforms

     A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack--when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late--serious illness at home--he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.

     Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"

     The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor had to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job--with the only tool that could win, a laugh.

     Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.

1. Why was Sam late for his job?

   A. Because he was seriously ill at home.    B. Because he received an ultimatum.

   C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.   D. Because he was busy applying for a new job.

2. What is the main idea of this passage?

   A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor     B. Humor is important in our lives

   C. Early bird can get the worm               D. Humor can solve racial discriminations

3. The phrase "clamp off" in Paragraph 3 means__________.

   A. try to hold back    B. pretend to set      C. send off         D. give out

4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?

   A. Many lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.

   B. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.

   C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.

   D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.

Everyone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old; she is an international pop superstar with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially all her life.

This year is a big year for Britney. She is currently on a 31 day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time. It’s tiring schedule but brings great rewards. When touring, she goes to bed around l a.m. and then has a lie-in until l p.m. or 2 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy（人生观）is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.

Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records， so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “ Austin Powers 3” this year and she is filming a teenage comedy that will be released in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role. The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer.

For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all. If her movies are successful, her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love, not the money.
