Now high school students in the state of Philadelphia, USA can wear their own clothes. But,

next year all students must buy the school uniform (校服)and wear the same. In July 2001, we did a survery at Central High School. Not one of the students thought that school uniforms were a good idea.

Rachel didn’t like the idea of a uniform at all. “It makes us look like prisoners(囚犯). I want to choose my own clothes. Everyone’s different, so why is the school trying to make us all the same?”

Mandy was also against uniforms. “I like to mix clothes in my own way, not the school’s way. I like to stand out in a crowd. We all do!”

While we were in Philadelphia, we could see the student fashions for this year. Girls were wearing platform shoes(高跟鞋). Some boys wore earrings and others dyed(染) the ends of th eir hair blonds. All the students were wearing jeans. Sandra was wearing a bright-coloured shirt with her jeans. “No one else wears shirts like these,” she said. “I’m the only one, and I like that. I can understand that the school needs a dress rule. It’s a problem if students come to school wearing half a shirt or with their shirts open. We all understand that. But no one wants a uniform. Even my Mum thinks it’s stupid.”

Only one student said he didn’t mind wearing a school uniform. Ben told us, “I used to wear a school uniform when I lived in Australia for a year. It wasn’t so bad. You can wear a uniform and still be tidy. We used to wear grey trousers,

a round-neck shirt and a sports top in blue or green. It wasn’t a problem.” 51. How many of the students didn’t like wearing school uniforms? A. One. B. Four. C. Three. D. None. 52. What were all the students wearing in Philadelphia? A. Jeans. B. Bright-coloured shirts. C. Platform shoes. D. School uniforms. 53. Who didn’t mind wearing a school uniform?

A. Sandra. B. Mandy. C. Ben. D. Rachel. C

No one really knows why we sleep. There are two theories, but a theory is only an idea or a guess—scientists don’t know if these theories are correct or not. One theory of sleep is called the “Repair Theory.” This theory says that during the day we use many important chemicals in our bodies and brains. We need sleep to make new chemicals and repair and fix our bodies. One piece of evidence (证据) for this theory is that our bodies produce more of a growth hormone ( a chemical that helps us grow) while we sleep.

Another theory is called the “Adaptive Theory.” This theory says that sleep developed because it stopped early humans and animals from wasting energy and putting themselves in danger from the other animals that killed and ate them; in other words, sleep kept them safe and out of trouble. It was necessary for them to survive. Whatever the reason for sleep, everyone sleeps and everyone dreams every night. Many times we don’t remember our dreams, but we still dream. Like sleep, no one knows exactly why we dream or what dreams mean. There have been many theories about dreams throughout history. Many cultures believe that dreams can predict the future—that they can tell us what is going to happen to us. Sigmund Freud and other

psychologists and psychiatrists believe that dreams can tell us about our feelings and desires.

However, some scientists now believe that dreams mean nothing at all—dreams are caused by the electrical activity in our brains while we sleep. These scientists believe that nerve cells fire without any aims and our brains try to make a story out of these meaningless patterns. These scientists say that dreams seem crazy and without meaning sometimes because they are crazy and without any meaning at all. 54. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. Dreams may not mean anything.

B. There’re many theories about what dreams mean. C. Sleep may help our bodies prepare for a new day. D. It is possible that sleep protected us from dangers. 55. What does the underlined word “ survive” mean?

A. catch chances B. continue to live C. keep safe D. save energy 56. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Sleep and Dreams B. Believe It or Not C. Two Theories about Dreams D. Theories about Dreams.

D
