B There are over 800 boarding schools（寄宿学校） in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country.

They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. Each student has his or her subject plan. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. The house- masters can take care of students all the time, especially after school hours. Nearly all the students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict. In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simple bread. They can also choose either a meal with no meat or another meal with meat for lunch and dinner. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen. 54．Who could study in the earliest boarding schools? A．All students. B．Foreign students. C．White and rich girls.

Many brands like this have “disappeared” because young people don’t know about them. But recently, some old Chinese brands have made a comeback. It’s a good start, but there’s more to it. In early September, anger over a Chinese makeup brand’s eyebrow pens （眉笔） lit up the internet. Some people thought that they were too expensive as it cost 79 yuan to get three pens. Shortly after, Bee & Flower started to sell three large bottles of hair care products for the same price. It showed that Chinese products could still be cost- effective （划算的）. Many Chinese brands took their chance by selling through livestreaming （直播）. What’s more, they also helped sell each other’s products （产品）. For example, hosts of sports brand Erke washed their hair with Bee & Flower products on Sept 13. Many people can’t stop buying these products. Why? For one thing, they think that the products of these Chinese brands are good to use and don’t cost much. Also, it makes buyers feel proud. They can help these old brands “come back to life” by buying the products. Buyers believe in these brands and will use their money to help them grow. However, livestreaming events should only be a start. How can brands keep people interested? Good products with good prices. The brands shouldn’t take advantage of（利用） people’s trust. They should turn it into a reason to make their products better. 58．Which of the following can take the place of the word “disappeared”?

A．abc B．abd C．bcd D．bde 61．What does the writer think according to the last paragraph? A．Chinese brands can only be popular for a while. B．Livestreaming is a good way to keep brands popular. C．The brands should set good prices for their products. D．It is smart to use people’s trust to keep them interested.

When she asks where the things come from, tell her they are from a friend. When she is well, you can tell her the truth. She may say that you were wrong to ask a stranger for these things.
