12.After decades of skimpy(小而暴露的)skirts and sleeveless tops on game days,some schools in the US are saying cheerleader uniforms will have to meet stricter dress codes when they are worn in class.In Lake County,Florida,cheerleaders with uniforms too skimpy for the code are being asked to wear long shorts or trousers under their skirts and a T-shirt under the sleeveless tops,according to a district memo.Principals at two of Lake's eight high schools-Leesburg and Lake Minneola-are not allowing the outfits in school at all.
Michelle Thomas,a cheerleader at Leesburg High School,was disappointed when she learned she couldn't wear her outfit to school on game days.
"It shows that we're a team just like all the other sports."She said.
But the school administrators didn't agree."During the educational portion of the day,they have to meet the dress code just like every other student,"said school board chairwoman Debbie Stivender,who ordered the staff to bring the outfits into line with the dress code.
Bare midriffs(露腰装) are banned across the state by the Florida High School Athletic Association,but no state rules mention cheerleader miniskirts.Sheila Noone,a spokeswoman for cheerleading uniform company Varsity Brands,says the outfits haven't become more revealing over the last 10 years.She says that the short skirts are designed to help the girls jump and kick.
"Cheerleading is athletic,"Noone said."There's a lot of jumping so you won't want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a toe touch."
Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news,but say they'll follow the rules.Even male cheerleaders,whose pants and tops meet dress codes,chose not to wear their outfits to show unity.
"I understand,because they are kind of short,"said Holly Bishop,14,a Lake Minneola High School cheerleader,about her miniskirt."It would've been really,really cool to wear them to school."

解答 DABDC
66:D 根据倒数第二段第二行的to wear long shorts or trousers…和第四段第三行的says the outfits haven't become more revealing over the last 10 years可知,拉拉队长的服装规范变得更严了.故选D.
67:A 根据倒数第二段的Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news…可知,大部分学生对新规不理解,B错;Noone表示拉拉队服符合加油所需,而不是说拉拉队服太暴露,C错;D项说学校对拉拉队不够重视,是错误的.根据第五段But the school administrators did not agree…可知,学校管理层认为拉拉队长应该和其他学生一样,遵守校服规范.故选A.
68:B 根据最后一段的about her miniskirt."It would have been really,really cool to wear them to school可知,拉拉队长认为穿拉拉队队服去学校很酷,很与众不同.故选B.
