-Are thenew rules working?-Yes． books are stolen．A.FewB.MoreC.SomeD.None 题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

The trend in everyday conversation is to use grandiose(夸大的)words．“Outstanding” is the
new “good,” “amazing” is the new “OK, ” and “huge” is the new “big.”
I was in a restaurant in Washington D．C．last weekend and every question I asked was answered with exaggeration．
Me：How is the salmon?
Sever：Fantastic!
Me：Does it come with rice?
Sever：Absolutely!
Would a “good” and a “yes” have been enough? Of course!
My father is an average-sized man．He hasn’t gained weight or height for the past 30 years. Therefore, his size remains the same．However，in the same amount of time，his T-shirt size has gone from small to medium to large to extra large．
The reason for the exaggerated word is clear：we are bored with our lives. We want the next
—next thing now．Immediately!
And we also want others to think that we still care，that we can still be delighted，that we know that everything is just great．Even when deep inside we know it can’t be．Everything can’t be great．
I’m not a scientist，so many methods of proof leave little to be desired，or a lot to be desired，or an immensity(无限)．
Listen to the voices around you．Listen to your own voices．There is nothing on the radio that is good or bad，weather is either beautiful or horrible．
Listen，the next time when someone asks you something and you agree，because when you
could simply say “yes”, instead you will say “absolutely’’ or “without doubt ” or “Oh，yeah，unquestionably ---- absolutely without doubt."
Have people forgotten what it is like to be OK? Simply OK with what they have and who they are? If everything is outstanding，if everything is the most amazing thing ever，is anything ever amazing at all?
【小题1】By telling his experience in the restaurant，the author intends to ________．

     Believe it or not, there are good reasons for wearing a school uniform(校服). It makes you   1__
proud of your school. It builds a common spirit of unity (整体) among students and    2 them of the values
and history of their school. But for most students, school uniforms are not something to be proud of   3 .
     "Why    4    the school uniform just one day a week? Always wearing the same clothes makes me feel
boring," a senior student from a high school complained (抱怨). "I don't like the big English letters of the
name of our school on the back," said a junior student "They could be   __5 ." The main student complaints about school uniforms are: simple colors, boring designs and bad     6   . And a teacher at a middle school in Guangzhou said that    7    a teacher and a mother, she eagerly    8   the quality of school uniforms will be
improved soon.
     What has caused all these problems? Chen Hong, a uniform designer in Shenzhen, pointed out that
problems    9   because the whole society doesn't see the   10   of the school uniform."Most designers are
    11   to keep the same old fashion,   12 _ there are no professionals (专业人员)   13   work for
students," Chen said.
     His company   14 most of the awards in the first national competition for school uniforms last month in
Nanning, Guangxi.
     "Besides, high quality calls for a high price," said Chen. "But in some schools, the annual (一年一度)
expense for each student's uniform is only 50 to 60 yuan. How can we produce high quality clothes with
so   15  money?"
     Even with these problems, efforts have been made   16  the situation, according to Zhai Shiliang,
  17   of the School Uniform Administration and Service Center in Beijing. A school clothes competition
was held in April in Beijing. Thirty-seven uniforms,    18   in schools next spring, were selected from 570. "We will offer the samples (样品) for schools to choose," Zhai said.
     "The perfect uniform should remind the students of the school's honor and cause them to be proud of
it   19   they are," Chen said. Zhai added, "During the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole world will see the
new appearance of our   20  century young generation with new school uniforms."
