3 . In 1924, Frederick Mitchell-Hedges led a team to Lubaantun, an ancient Mayan (玛雅人的) city in Central America. There, his daughter, Anna, found one of the most mysterious objects in history: a crystal skull (水晶头骨) that looked like a perfect human head. After that, more crystal skulls appeared in a short period across Europe and North America.
For years, those mysterious crystal skulls have caused a lot of discussion. Even now, no one knows exactly who made them and when they were made.
Some people believe that the people in Central America made them thousands of years ago. Some stories even say that the crystal skulls have special powers, such as the ability to make sick people well.
However, most scientists don’t believe these stories. They think the skulls are more modern. Scientists have found marks on the skulls that they believe only more modern technology could make it. Because of this, scientists are sure that the skulls are not thousands of years old. Instead, they think the skulls are from the 19th century. Scientists also say researchers in the British Museum have found many Central American objects, but they have never found a crystal skull. Scientists say this also shows they are not really from Central America.

4 . Students must follow rules in schools. But some schools have unusual school rules and you may get a surprise when hearing about them.
In a school in the USA, students cannot wear some winter clothes like jackets or hats in class because they are “criminal symbols.” But the town is freezing even indoors in winter and the students don’t understand why they cannot wear warm clothes to school.
An American college has many dorm (宿舍) rules. One of them is that students must make their bed before 9 a. m. every day. One student said if he wanted to continue to sleep on Saturday morning, he must get up, make his bed, and then go back to sleep on top of the quilt.
Students in a school in Japan will get a punishment (惩罚) if he cannot finish the meal. What’s more, students must not talk at lunch. If a student is found talking to someone, he has to sit alone on a chair with no table.
Teachers in parts of the UK and Australia are told not to grade their student’s homework using red pens. What is wrong with red pens? Well, it’s partly because the color red is felt as danger, and schools think it makes children unhappy when they receive their homework with red marks. Teachers must use other colors like blue, purple, yellow or even with a pencil.

6 . It seems that deliverymen (外卖员) are always in a rush. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.
However, not everything goes well with them. In the first half of last year, seventy-six traffic accidents in total about deliverymen happened in Shanghai. That means every two and a half days, a deliveryman will get hurt or even lose his or her life on the road.
“What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service and the impatient customers are the two reasons. Many companies (公司) will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan if he fails to be on time,” reported by China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad comments from customers.
“To solve this serious problem, delivery service companies need to improve their management systems and also some rules or laws should be made to avoid deliverymen breaking traffic rules,” according to CRI Online. Some cities have already taken actions. For example, some companies in Shanghai have set some courses for their deliverymen to study traffic rules. In Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, he will be banned (禁止) from driving the electronic bike for a whole year.
