4．Looking back at my school yearbooks of the 1970s，80s，and 90s，I find the style of uniform says a lot about the students and the character of the times．In the 1970s，students accessorized （配饰） their uniforms with platform shoes．During the 80s，hair was huge-literally．Students'goofy hair filled up nearly every shot in the yearbook．In the 90s，accessories were all the rage （流行）．
Uniform rules have always been strict．The restrictions （限制） are down to the inch：Gray or plaid skirts must be no shorter than two inches above the knee； a red，green，navy or white polo must be worn at all times； and only white，blue，black，and gray sneakers or flats are allowed．With all these rules，one can't help but wonder how the typical rebellious （叛逆的） teenager can express her individuality．
Still，they manage．Senior Michelle Ferrier says she accessorizes by wearing bright colors like green and pink in bracelets，shoe laces，and headbands to stand out and be fashionable．For any stylish （时尚的） Carondelet student，accessories are key．
At Carondelet，one thing's for sure：The older a student gets，the more she's willing to bend the rules．Senior Natalia Piwek admits that she often pairs her"tights and colorful socks"with"illegal shoes"．If you happen to see a girl with colorful tights or boots running across the hallway，it's most likely that she's running from a dean．
In about two months，I will say goodbye to my uniform．I will miss the convenience of wearing it．However，I must say，wearing a uniform has taught me an important lesson that I will take with me when I go off to college：it doesn't matter what you wear，but how you wear it．And how you carry yourself．

11．The Touchstone
  When the great library of Alexandria burned，the story goes，one book was saved．But it was not a valuable book； and so a poor man，who could read little，bought it for very little money．
The book wasn't very interesting，but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed．It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the"Touchstone"!The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold．
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it．But the secret was this：The real stone would feel warm，while ordinary pebbles are cold．
So the man sold his few belongings，bought some simple supplies，camped on the seashore，and began testing pebbles．He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold，he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times．So，when he felt one that was cold，he threw it into the sea．He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone．Yet he went on and on this way．Pick up a pebble．Cold-throw it into the sea．Pick up another．Throw it into the sea．Pick up another．Throw it into the sea．The days continued over a long period if time．
One day，however，about mid-afternoon，he picked up a pebble and it was warm．He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done．He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along he still threw it away．
    So it is with opportunity．Unless we are cautious，it's easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away．

A．Because he didn't want to get the same pebbles．
B．Because he didn't want others to pick them up．
C．Because he didn't like their ordinary looks．
D．Because he didn't like the cold feelings．
