　　T-shirts out; uniforms in School uniforms 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; 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 would 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．

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confidence American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue-this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive。  

Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches。(The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．

1.To compete with American students it’s very important to

A．be quite confident

B．be polite and friendly

C．have more discussions with

D．understand what they think about

2.A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who

A．gives a silly or simple answer

B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class

C．shows no interest in the course

D．is considered to have no opinion of his own

3.The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if

A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said

B．the students bargain with him

C．he pretends to know what he doesn’t

D．he has to give a speech

4.We learn from the second paragraph that

A．we should also remain modest in America

B．modesty doesn’t help modest in America

C．American also like modest people

D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program

5.What can we infer from the passage?

A．American students are ready to accept the grades from the teacher.

B．The writer teaches in Europe for a living.

C．Students are encouraged to present simple questions.

D．One’s ignorance will give away in time.

 

Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic（流行病） of sleepiness in the nation．“I can’t think of a single study that hasn’t found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,” says Dr．David．Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest．

    The beginning of our sleep-deficit（lack）crises can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century ago．From diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night．“The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark．” By the 1950s and 1960s, the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock．“People cheat in their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,” says Dr．David．“They think they’re okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, 8 or even more to feel ideally energetic. ”

    Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researches say, is the complexity of the day．Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community increase, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their programs．“In our society, you’re considered dynamic if you say you need only 5．5 hours’ sleep．If you’ve got to get 8．5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition．”

    To determine the consequences of sleep-deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier．“We’ve found that if you’re in sleep deficit, performance suffers,” says Dr．David．“Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate．”

1.What is the main topic of the passage?

    A. The history of people’s sleeping patterns．

    B. The epidemic of sleepiness in the modern times．

    C. Research on the causes and consequences of sleep-deficit．

    D. The minimum of our sleeping hours．

2.Which of the following is Dr．David’s opinion?

    A. People’s metal power suffers if they are lacking in sleep．

    B. Some people can remain energetic with only 6．5 hours’ sleep a night．

    C. If they get 8．5 hours’ sleep, people will be full of drive and ambition．

    D. People who think they are sleeping enough are better off than those who don't．

3.People in the 18th and 19th centuries slept about 9．5 hours a night because _______．

    A. they had no electricity

    B. they knew what was best for their health

    C. they were forced by their parents to do so

    D. they were not so dynamic and ambitious as modern people are

4.The major cause of sleep-deficit of modern people is _______．

    A. the endless TV programs in the evenings and the internet

    B. the heavy work load of the day

    C. the sufficient energy modern people usually have

    D. loud noises in the modern cities

5.What does the word “subjects” in paragraph 4 mean?

    A. Person or thing that is being discussed or described．

    B. Branch of knowledge studied in a school．

    C. Person or thing being treated in a certain way or being experimented on．

    D. Any member of a State apart from the supreme ruler．

Bored at school now?  How do you think it will look in the future? Last week, about 600 teenagers in the U.S. imagined a future changed by technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities (名人)and alien(外星人)languages.

According to a survey published last week by the U.S. ,Internet service provider American Online(AOL), only one in 100 thinks that in the future they will walk from home to school; the rest believe they will use jet packs, and hover boards(滑板) as everyday transport.

All the participants(参与者)of the survey are teenagers born into the Internet age. The study is to show how the first cyber (网络的)generation dream about a future life created by advanced technology.

Most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning. The 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 percent imagine them to be robots. Some 24 percent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have inter-changeable microchips so that one person can teach all subjects.

More than one in two believe hover boarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favorite activity. Another third think jet packs will be popular. Nearly 30 percent think playing football and bike-riding will remain popular.

When it comes to the curriculum(课程), they think future generations will be learning about robot building(63 percent), alien languages(47 percent) celebrities(26 percent) and R’n’B music(22 percent).

Children will wear virtual(虚拟的)reality helmets(头盔) to bring lessons to life, say 40 percent, while over 20 percent believe they will not need lessons because microchips implanted(植入)in their head will send relevant information into the brain. Matt Whyman, adviser to the chief medical officer on youth issues of AOL, said: “ The kids seem very aware of the liberation qualities of technology.”
