As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the words that are used.

It’s time for school! But on May 14th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas, US,
were told to go back home. Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school.
Schools in the US don’t always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes (着装要求). For example, Duncanville High School tells students to wear belts, shirts without logos(标识). Schools’ most-hated clothes are different.
In 2011, the saggy(松垮的) trousers law was passed in Florida. It stops students from wearing trousers that show body parts. Now, “the favorite new target(目标) of the school dress code” is leggings(紧身裤), reported the Associated Press. Some schools don’t allow leggings. Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings.
Some students complain(抱怨) that schools are going too far. But schools say dress codes help protect students’ safety and make sure they grow up with good taste.
“We want to teach them that they must meet the expectations(期望) not only here in school, but also outside school,” said Andre Smith.What happened to 170 students at Duncanville High School on May 14th?

When you watch TV and play video games you make global(全球的)warming worse! It may seem hard to believe, but when electricity is made, so are greenhouse gases(温室气体). This means that every time you use electricity you help make global warming worse!
Cars are also making global warming worse. They burn fossil fuels(化石燃料)in their engines, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air.2-1-c-n-j-y
Global warming may be a big problem, but we can all help stop it. People can try to drive their cars less. Or even get ones that run on sunlight! You can also help. Let’s try one of these top ideas:
(1)Try to use less electricity. Turn off lights, your television, and your computer when you’ve stopped using them. To make electricity, fossil fuels are burned in big factories. But burning fossil fuels also makes greenhouse gases. You should also try to watch less TV.
(2)Plant trees. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it is also a great way to lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air when they grow.
(3)Don’t throw away your rubbish, try to recycle it. If rubbish is not recycled, it is put in the ground. There it rots(腐烂)and makes a greenhouse gas called methane(甲烷).So try to recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers. It’ll make you feel great! And it’ll help the Earth. If we ___________, we may make global warming worse.
A.use less electricity | B.drive a car on sunlight |
C.plant trees | D.throw away rubbish |
We may use more electricity by______.
A.turning off lights | B.shutting down computers |
C.turning up CD players | D.turning off TV |
______ will make global warming worse.
A.Methane | B.Cans |
C.Newspapers | D.Bottles |
Which is the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.Driving cars on sunlight helps to stop global warming. |
B.When cars burn fossil fuels, they produce greenhouse gases. |
C.When trees grow, they send carbon dioxide into the air. |
D.By planting more trees, we can lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air. |
