Recently, a junior high school sent several students back home because they broke the school uniform (校服) rules. Should students wear school uniforms? The Young World magazine held a discussion on this topic (话题) .
Kennedy: The school uniform is very important, because it always reminds me that I am supposed to go out of my way to study hard. It also helps prevent school bullying (欺凌) .If everyone wears the same clothes, it is impossible to laugh at other people's clothing.
Manson: The uniform has to be earned (获得) through efforts. Students should start school with no uniforms. As they make progress at school, they start wearing it. I always think children need to be proud of their school. The uniform is important for that. So, make students earn it! If they don't perform well, they should not be allowed to get one.
Moorhead: In my opinion, kids don't have to wear uniforms. There should be more choices open to kids in education. They should develop their own independence and just be themselves. Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school. And different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty. Besides, they make the school lively and colorful.
Patrick: I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms. They play a very important role in managing schools. However, a school should not depend heavily on uniforms to improve students' behaviors. Teaching them how to express themselves with confidence is more important.

【推荐1】Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside. You may not know exactly where you are, what bird is making that strange sound, or what the hill ahead of you is called, but that’s part of the fun of it. You don’t need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature.
Of course, if you do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive. Yet such knowledge comes slowly. It is picked up through experience. A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone. Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen. Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin(毁灭) it?
Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge, for example, about baroque(巴洛克风格的) paintings. In fact, apps in museums try to provide on-screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings.
It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon-fed(灌输) amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate(欣赏) it. Our first experience of a work of art should be raw(自然状态的), unguided, and a bit puzzling, like following a path in the woods. Later, you might choose to do some personal research into the work. It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it. Yet it is best done when you’re away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh.
Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong. We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art. Let the paintings flow in; let your intuitions(直觉) fly off. Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all.
1. What does the writer mainly want to say?| A．Art is best with the help of apps. |
| B．Art is best when hidden in mystery. |
| C．Art is nothing compared with nature. |
| D．Art is nothing when details and facts are known. |
| A．people who like showing off |
| B．people who like baroque paintings |
| C．those who are good at appreciating art |
| D．those who are good at painting with phones |
| A．How to appreciate a work of art. |
| B．How to personal research into a work of art. |
| C．How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh. |
| D．How to be spoon-fed amazing facts about a work of art. |
| A．Because of apps, art will be ruined in the future. |
| B．A good piece of art is usually made about nature. |
| C．Research work and intuitions can both help understand art. |
| D．Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones. |
【推荐2】You are rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? Some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved(介入)
“There is an inclination(倾向)that you don’t need to take action. The first thought that come into your mind often stop you from offering help.” says Ervin Staub, who studies the role of bystanders. Again and again, good and caring people do not come to give a hand to others They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves don't understand, people sometimes don't get involved. Longtime researchers of bystanders continue to study with the question, “Why?”
One thing we do know is that the more unclear a situation is, the less possible people are to help. Let's say you see vapors (水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam(蒸汽) or smoke?”If you are not sure, you look to other people for something about how to deal with the problem
Another one is known as “the bystander effect(效应)”. This says that the more people there are looking at an emergency, the less responsible each one of them feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can save someone in danger, it is more possible for you to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it! Because you think it's not that necessary for you to get involved!
“If you notice trouble, make yourself stop and judge the situation instead of going on walking, says Ervin Staub. “then try to get other people to help together; you don't have to take all the responsibility of being helpful. Once you get involved, most people will follow you and also offer help.
1. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?| A．People shouldn't help the man who falls down in front of us. |
| B．Many people kept on walking because they didn't see the man fell down. |
| C．We refuse to help for some unknown reasons even though we know we should. |
| D．We don’t need to take action if we don't want to. |
| A．the feeling of responsibility changes with the number of people around. |
| B．people always like to take the responsibility in different situations. |
| C．people often share their ideas when they’re in dangerous situations. |
| D．people are possible to behave in the same way as most other people do |
| A．If other people are laughing at you. |
| B．If you see other people doing nothing. |
| C．If you are sure of doing something. |
| D．If other people see you doing something. |
| A．Is it important to offer help? | B．Is it difficult to believe yourself? |

【推荐3】As I enter my 40s’, I’ve noticed many of my parents’ generation think social networking is something they are simply unable to understand. They fear that, should they try, they will somehow get it wrong; they will say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment (尴尬). But here’s the first secret of social media: Everyone feels this way.
I recently met a young actor who was complaining that her work needs that she joins Microblog, but she always feels like she doesn’t have anything smart to say. It’s the same resistance (抵制) I hear from the older generation, who, however, have somehow believed that age is the barrier (障碍), instead of the differences of personal taste. ___①___
Here’s the second secret of social media: everybody uses it for more or less the same reasons. ___②___. Older generations often sign up to stay in touch with children and relatives. We talk about this kind of communication like it’s some old-fashioned activity, but it is exactly why younger people use social media. The truth is that most people use social media to gently keep an eye on one another, to see how those they care about are doing without needing to ring them up on the phone every night. ___③___.
And this is the last secret of social media: everyone gets to use them in their own way. Newcomers—younger and older—who worry about “getting it right” are thinking that there’s a right way to get them. But actually there isn’t. Personally, I talk a lot on Microblog. And some people post nothing and they use social media every day as readers. Social media companies would rather see people decorating their networks with pictures and posts. ___④___. It’s also a fine way to take part in the net.
I’d never try forcing those with no interest in social networks to use Microblog. But don’t let the talk of age divides put you off. There’s nothing to stop the older generation from joining in the network their own generation created.
1. Which is a reason for old people’s fear using social media according to the author?| A．They have no special interest in social networking. |
| B．They prefer staying in touch with relatives in real life. |
| C．They believe they may fall into embarrassing situations. |
| D．They have no idea what to post online. |
| A．① | B．② | C．③ | D．④ |

| A．To share with us his personal experience using social media. |
