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 withoutlogos （标识）.

Some students complain (抱怨) that schools are going too far(做得太过分) .

It was not easy to learn different kinds of musical instruments well at the same time.I still remembered when I took my piano lessons，my mother said worriedly to my father， "Why hasn't he made any progress with so much practice？'' I tried to play the piano better.However，my parents never got a strong feeling of satisfaction with my piano performance.
From then on，I didn't play any musical instrument until my old friend Larry invited me to play the violin with him when I was 60.It made me enjoy the joy of playing music again.One day，Larry asked me to take part in a violin performance with him.At first，thinking of my past，I wanted to refuse.1 expected to hear his words that I would become more skilled with practice on stage（舞台），But he said， "OK，only play if you want to，" I was shocked by the unexpected answer.
In fact，nobody made me do it，so I had to make a choice by myself.I was willing to catch the chance this time.After a long and careful preparation，I played the violin with Larry.Though I didn't lose all my nervousness，it was enough for me to overcome my fear.Finally，I offered a full performance in front of the audience（观众）.
However，happy times always didn't last long，my friend Larry passed away .It was a hard hit，but his influence stayed.It helped me not only in music，but on all sides of my life.Whenever I paid attention to what I wanted to do，joy usually took the place of fear.

For passengers who need to change or return their tickets，they can change the tickets or get their fund（退款） through 12306.cn or the ticket office at the station.
Since 2011，passengers have been able to swipe their ID cards at self﹣service machines to take the Beijing﹣Tianjin high﹣speed railway and Beijing﹣Shanghai high﹣speed railway.And now checking﹣in by swiping an ID card is available at high﹣speed railway stations in most cities across China.At stations in some remote（偏远）areas，passengers still need a paper ticket to get on a train.
