If you ask Japanese middle school students about fashion at school, most would say their school uniforms are always in fashion. They wear their uniforms even at parties or going shopping.
Many girl characters in popular Japanese cartoons wear sailor style clothes like school uniforms too.
Girls’ uniforms for Japanese middle schools were borrowed from 1920s British navy(海军) uniforms. Boys’ u niforms are from Russian army dress(军服). They are usually black, grey or dark blue, and make students look clean and smart.
Students never get bored with adding something special to their uniforms to show a little bit more individuality(个性). Girls may wear big socks to match their pleated skirts(褶裙) or take off their bows(蝴蝶结) on the top(上衣).
Sometimes boys don’t do up the buttons on their dress shirts. Some girls even shorten their skirts or don’t wear their neckties(领带).
What girls wear:
A skirt and top that look like a sailor dress.
A sailor top or a white shirt and matching vest(背心).
A dark blue or grey pleated skirt.
A ribbon is tied in the front of the top.
Some uniforms use neckties and bows instead of ribbons. Popular colours are navy blue, white, grey, and black.
What boys wear:
A white shirt inside.
Black straight-legged pants and jacket with a standing collar and gold buttons down the front. Buttons usually have the school emblem(校徽) on them.
The uniform is normally black but some schools use dark blue.

Unlike the other parts of the bo dy, your ears don’t ask for much. They don’t need to be brushed once a day like your teeth. But they really need some special care, especially if you like listening to music with earphones.
Maybe you r mum or dad has told you, “Turn that down before you go deaf!? Well, they are quite right. Loud noise may cause hearing problems for a short time or even for ever.
Thank that earphones are a good way to escape from your parents’ eyes? Well, it may not be as good a way as you think. Ameri can doctors have studied a group of 4,490 people who used earphones more that 15 hours every week. The doctors found that 3,730 of them were getting hearing problems.
If you use earphones too long, your ears may feel painful. You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life. So don’t wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day. Don’t forget to do the following:
☆Try to stay away from places with too much noise, like a disco. If you have to go, wear earplugs(耳塞).
☆When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to keep water from getting in.
☆Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax(耳垢),ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.
Please remember these things! Then you won’t be saying “What”when you are older.
根据短文内容，从每小题A、B、C中选出一个最佳答案。

（）56. Which of the following may hurt our ears?

Education
School is expens ive for many African children. Lots of families can’t afford school uniforms or exercise books even though they don’t have to pay for school.

Jack is an English teacher at a college. He moved to New York City with his family. Jack is an excellent teacher, so we all missed him very much since he left. It was not long before Jack came back to North Carolina for a short visit. The teachers and students held a small party for him.
At the party, I certainly would not give up that good chance to learn English. So I tried to think of all kinds of topics to talk with Grace, another English teacher.
Just before I was about to run out of my topics, suddenly I heard Jack say to others loudly, “I dig New York!” I immediately asked Grace, “Is it really difficult to find a job in New York? Why does Jack have to do heavy work since he is such a good teacher?”
Grace didn’t seem to understand what I said. “Why do you think that?” she asked.
“Haven’t you hear d him say that he is digging New York? Is he building an underground passage?” I asked.
When she finally realized what I meant, Grace laughed to tears. She then asked us whether we knew the meaning of “I dig New York.” All of us shook our heads. So Gr ace asked Jack to explain it.
It turns out that “I dig New York” means “I love New York” in American slang(俚语)。

Unlike the other parts of the body, your ears don’t ask for much. They don’t need to be brushed once a day like your teeth. But they really need some special care, especially if you like listening to music with earphones.
Maybe your mum or dad has told you, “Turn that down before you go deaf!? Well, the y are quite right. Loud noise may cause hearing problems for a short time or even for ever.
Thank that earphones are a good way to escape from your parents’ eyes? Well, it may not be as good a way as you think. American doctors have studied a group of 4,490 people who used earphones more that 15 hours every week. The doctors found that 3,730 of them were getting hearing problems.
If you use earphones too long, your ears may feel painful. You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life. So d on’t wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day. Don’t forget to do the following:
☆Try to stay away from places with too much noise, like a disco. If you have to go, wear earplugs(耳塞).
☆When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to keep water from getting in.
☆Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax(耳垢),ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.
Please remember these things! Then you won’t be saying “What”when you are older.

Education
School is expensive for many African children. Lots of families can’t afford school u niforms or exercise books even though they don’t have to pay for school.
