1 . Do you obey the rules in your school? What do you think of your school rules? Are you allowed to dye hair? A lot of school rules are similar around the world, but some are different. Many students may enjoy more freedom（自由）in some countries. But freedom doesn’t mean “no rules”. Every school has their own rules. There are some rules in some Asian schools: The students are not allowed to dye their hair and are supposed to keep the hair black. They are not allowed to wear earrings, either. Almost all schools used to require students to wear uniforms but now half of the schools require uniforms. The students feel happy to wear all kinds of clothes. The students must get to school on time. If they are late, they can’t get into the school gate because the school gate is closed. In some countries, students are not allowed to have part-time jobs because they may not concentrate on their studies.

American schools have their own rules. For example, in Morton High School, students are not allowed to choose their own clothes. They must get to school or leave school on time. Food or drinks or snacks shouldn’t be taken into the classroom. They must wear sports shoes in gym class. They are supposed to keep quiet in the school bus. In America, the students can have part-time jobs in their free time.

A boy got into a fight at school. Most schools would have sent him to the principal’s office. Instead, he was sent to a quiet room. It was a safe place where he could cool down.

The boy is in third grade. He goes to Robert W. Coleman Elementary, a school in Baltimore, Maryland. The school is trying something new. It is not putting as many kids in time-out (计时隔离). Instead, the school is helping kids practice mindfulness.

Mindfulness is a way of thinking. A mindful person only thinks about what he is doing at the moment. He does not let bad feelings get in the way.

When students at Coleman need to cool down, they go to the Mindful Moment Room. It is a peaceful space. The room is decorated (装饰) with bright curtains and beanbags. Teachers there ask the students to explain what happened. They help them talk about their feelings. They tell the students to take deep breaths. These are all mindfulness exercises. They are part of a new program at Coleman.

The school principal is Carlillian Thompson. She said the exercises help her students clear their minds. Then they are more ready to learn.

Carlillian has seen many signs of success. She says the students think more about how they behave. They pay more attention to their feelings.

Each school day starts with a message over the loudspeaker. It guides the students through breathing exercises. They take 15 minutes to practice mindfulness. Then they go to class. At the end of the day, they do another 15 minutes.

Many students go to the Mindful Moment Room. On one day in November 12 kids visited. One was the boy who had been in a fight.

By the time he left, another boy had walked in. Soon there were four boys in the room. There were two teachers there to help them.

One started the breathing exercises. “Inhaling deep,” he said aloud. “Lock your chin to your chest. Exhale and out.”

There are no time-outs at this school, but deep breathing instead.

5 . 下面文章中有五处（第31-35题）需要添加首句。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。

Where you sit and how you fit

    1     For more than seventy years, researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners. Where do you usually decide to sit? Have you ever really thought about the reasons for your decision?

    2     But is this really true? Well, some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is fare away from the teacher and they don’t want to answer questions. At the back, students probably won’t speak much, but in big classrooms, it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit here often get lower grades on tests and exams. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice.

    3     However, they like watching and listening rather than joining in. These students are usually also very good at taking notes. Next time you miss a class, borrow notes from someone who sits here. On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and thoughtful people. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning.

    4     Then the statistics (统计数据) say you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing, and cheerful people usually sit in the middle. They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams.

    5     Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. The only problem with sitting here is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class. So, if you really want to hear what everyone says in class, choose a different place to sit.

A．You probably sit right at the front of the class if you’re longing for knowledge.

B．Research suggests that the seat you choose in the classroom says a lot about you and your personality.

C．Do you sit in the middle of the classroom?

D．This means it’s a good idea to sit in a different place every day.

E．People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy.

F．Students who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in class.
