题目内容

School uniforms(制服)are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise,because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记)that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way,they will not pay too much attention to their clothing,and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.

Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms,but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers(障碍); school uniforms tear those barriers down.

As in other places,uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example,when a man or woman puts on a police uniform,he or she becomes,for a time,the symbol(象征)of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students,the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.

Some parents are unhappy about uniforms,saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity”. First,as noted above,the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Second,students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school,their job is to master reading,writing,and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.

61. In Paragraph 1,the word “benefits” probably means       .

A. tasks        B. messages       C. differences      D. advantages

62. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general       .

A. prevent the wearers from being laughed at 

B. help the wearers keep their duties in mind

C. are seen as a symbol of power      D. help to create social barriers

63. Some people are against school uniforms because       .

A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms

B. they believe that uniforms will make students less creative

C. they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers

D. they think that school uniforms are too popular

64. The author would probably agree that       .

A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not

B. students’ individuality may not come from school education

C. students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose

D. school uniforms help to create equality among students

65. School uniforms are becoming more and more popular and important because _____

A. they can stop the powerful social sorting and labeling.

B. if all students are dressed in the same way,they will not pay too much attention to their clothing.

C. uniforms can remind the wearers of their purposes and duties

D. school uniforms will affect their children’s creativity.

  This week, we talk about the application process for American colleges and universi-ties. This is part eight in our Foreign Student Series. Earlier, we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world. We also discussed the rules for entering the United States. And we talked about programs that can be completed on-line.

  But if your goal is to come to the United States to study, then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you.Be sure to choose more than one. Directors of foreign students admissions say students should apply to at least three schools.

  Some students want to attend a small college; others want to go to a big university.If a really big university appeals to you, then there are ones like Ohio State University.That university in Columbus, Ohio, in the Midwest, has almost 52 000 students. There are students this year from around one hun-dred fifty countries. Ohio State provides in-ternational students with an application on its website. You can pay the application charge online with a credit card. Or you can print the forms and mail them with the pay-ment.

  Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs on-line. A catalog is the publication in which a school tells about its programs. You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies. Completing a college application can take some time. But answering all the questions is not enough.Another important step is taking admission tests. The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most com-monly take. Another one is the ACT. Colle-ges and universities may also require interna-tional students discussing these tests next week.

What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportu­nity to make money.
Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal Uni­versity started a virtual company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week a­go. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
"We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work," said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the compa­ny.
Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.
With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the lead­ers of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management. They also asked some local businessmen to act as their consul­tants.
"They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job," said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies. So she established a system to evaluate every one's performance, in terms of punctuality, efficiency, profits knowledge and so on.
"It makes the company more formal," she said.
59. What is the purpose of opening the company?
A. To earn money for their education fees.
B. To spread love and culture with seeds.
C. To see whether they can open a company.
D. To collect money to open a Hope School.
60. At a campus auction a week ago, they ________ .
A. sold 28 green plants with different flowers
B. sold 28 seeds pasted with different pictures
C. sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds
D. sold 28 flowers pasted with different pictures
61. According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations?
A. Communication skills and teamwork.
B. Creative and critical thinking.
C. Educational background.
D. Business theories.
62. What does the word "it" (in the last paragraph) refer to?
