But the call left Dunn surprised. She arrived to find her daughter in a pretty ordinary style: a cardigan, tank top and jeans. The trouble, headmaster in dicated, lay with her daughter’s exposed collarbone(锁骨). Bare shoulders and naked collarbones are unacceptable under WoodfordHigh’s dress rule. Students who go against these rules can receive detention(留校察看) or, after several violations, be suspended(退学) from school entirely. “Parents are being called away from their important jobs, and students are missing important class time because they are showing their collarbones,” Dunn wrote on the Facebook, attaching a picture of her daughter in the offending clothes. “Something needs to change!”Across the US, schools like Woodford are coming under increased doubt for their dress rules. Some say the rules apply almost especially to girls. Girls’ clothes are generally cut to be more fitted and shorter, while boys’ clothes are longer and looser. In practice, that mea ns more girls will be caught violating dress rules. The New York Post reported that, last year, one school in Staten Island handed out 200 dress rule detentions in two weeks-----90 percent of which went to girl students. Others think dress rules vary by sc hool district and are often applied at teachers’ will. Yoga pants and skinny jeans are banned in some schools, and not in others. And some teens have shown their disagreement, using creative techniques to build public support.Certain schools have chosen to rethink their dress rules, with ideas from parents and students. Even Woodford County High School—home of the “collarbone” ban-----is reconsidering its policies this month. But, at least for now, the dress rule debate is far from over.4.

Techniques against school dress rules.7. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. Woodford County High School is the first to put forward dress rules.B. Thoughts from students and parents are ignored by all schools.C. Different schools across US have same dress rule system.D. The debate on school dress rules is still continuing.CHave you ever thought of its long history when you bite into a loaf of bread? This food, which has dominated tabletops for nearly 30,000 years, is in decline. According to the Bib, 32 percent of the purchased bread is being thrown away in the UK. And in France—a country whose breads are internationally known—young people are eating 30 percent less than a decade ago.Traditionally, bread has been a cornerstone of many cultures around the world. Bread could be used as an appetizer, a post-meal plate cleaner and even as an entire meal itself. As its popularity grew, so did its symbolic value. Christianity adopted bread as a representation of Christ during religious ceremonies. “Breaking bread” with someone became a common symbol1of friendship. The French even used to bring baguettes(法棍面包) home as a symbol of love to the family.But recently, the world’s love for bread came to fade. Some think that the fast pace of modern life is changing people’s eating habits. Others believe bread is rich in complex carbohydrates, a fact that could keep anyone who practices a low-carbon lifestyle away from it. The shift against bread is also associated with its mass production. Additives are added to bread to make its shelf life longer. In the process, bread ends up being whiter and less nutritious.But some bakers around the world have rushed forward to rescue bread’s good reputation. They reduced mass production in favor of making “artisanal(手工的) bread”. British baker Mark Newman told the BBC that his loaves take up to 18 hours from start to finish. “In terms of nutrition and eating satisfaction, a handmade loaf of real bread and mass-produced bread are completely different products,” he told the BBC. “We hope with a little luck-----and some whole grains-----bread might return to its traditional glory.”8. Which of the following about bread is right?A. The roles of bread varied.B. Bread was the only religious symbol.C. Britain was famous for baguettes.D. No other food has a longer history than bread.9. The reasons why bread is in decline are the following EXCEPT________.A. too much additives in itB. its poorer nutritionC. too much time spent in making itD. its mass production10. According to Newman, __________.A. handmade bread is completely different from mass-produced bread in both nutrition and shelf lifeB. handmade bread is not equal to mass-produced bread in some aspectsC. it’s a waste of time to spend 18 hours making a loaf of breadD. bread will certainly return to its traditional popularity11. The best title of the text is ________.A. The History of BreadB. Save bread from decliningC. Handmade Bread and Mass-produced BreadD. Make Artisanal BreadDChinese scientist Tu Youyou on October 5, 2015 won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine together with two other scientists for discovering parasite therapies(寄生虫治疗法).

This is what science is all about.Tu has spent 40 years’ time on scientific research. Although the Nobel Prize did not come to her until four decades later.

The reward is never too late in that aspect. The moment of joy and satisfaction when she discovered the artemisin in after all kinds of failures in experiments deserves to be remembered for ever.Tu has won some attention when she got the Lasker Award in 2011. But there is no way to compare her popularity back to the attention she is receiving today. As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s winning completely surprised Chinese people, who have long been wondering when the first Chinese Nobel Laureate in natural science would appear.Tu is an alumni(毕业生) of Peking University.
