Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look? 1.

The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. __2. .

But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.

__3. “we do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “ but extremes (极端)of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.

__4.. Ludovica Gaudio,14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 5. “ I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “In winter , when dressed like that ,it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”

A.But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.

B.A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.

C.He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.

D.Most students have simply ignored the request.

E.Another 14-year-old girl said she would probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons.

There is a time when Karyn Bosnak couldn’t pay a $59 bill at the grocery store. She was officially broke. She didn’t have enough money to get on the subway, but she looked rich. She was a television producer, earned $900 a week, and had a closetful of designer labels like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. But she also had a $20,221.40 credit card bill and an empty bank account. Karyn decided that it was time for a change. She built a website and simply asked people to help her out by sending her a dollar or two.

On the site, Karyn honestly explained her situation. “If 20,000 people gave me just $1, I’d be home free.” Amazingly, it worked. Her website was visited by more than a million people. Although most donors just gave a few dollars, one generous donor sent $1,000. She was on TV and in newspapers and magazines. She was offered a book deal and a movie contract. And of course, she was able to pay off her credit card debt. She also sold her designer clothes on eBay. In her closet, where the Gucci purse once sat, Karyn keeps all the letters that people have sent her.

It’s hard to understand why so many people helped a total stranger pay off her huge credit card bill. Karyn explains, “I was just honest about what happened; I didn’t make up some sob story (悲伤的故事) about saving the world.” Her donors think it’s funny and original, and view it less as a charity than as an entertainment site. Imitators have appeared all over the Internet, some with extremely selfish requests for things like a BMW or a house.

Actually, Karyn was not the first person to put up a website asking strangers for money. The practice has a name: “cyber-begging.” Most sites receive little traffic and even less cash. Karyn also had thousands of enemies and critics. People sent her hate mail and scolded (斥责) her on websites. Karyn says she never let this anger bother her. “They are probably jealous (嫉妒的) they didn’t think of it.” She explains.

1.Why was Karyn in financial trouble?

A. She lost her job.

D. Her bank account was stolen.

2. After building a website, Karyn .

B. decided to make a movie

C. decided herself to charity

D. started a fashion magazine

3.Why did so many people respond positively to Karyn’s website?

A. They were moved by Karyn’s story.

B. They thought it was very interesting.

C. They wanted to follow Karyn’s steps.

D. They really wanted to help Karyn out.

4.What can we learn about cyber-begging?

A. It encourages beggars to be honest.

B. Its main purpose is to help the poor.

C. It was first started by Karyn Bosnak.

D. Most of the time it draws little attention.
