Before Ken Levin discovered it, people here tried many times to walk out of the desert, but they didn’t. He asked everyone, but got the same answer: no matter (无论) which direction you walk towards, you will return to the starting point. However, Ken Levin walked northwards from Bissell, and went out of the desert three days and a half later. Ken Levin wanted to know why, so he asked a villager to be his guide. He didn’t take his compass and followed with only a stick. They walked about 800 miles during 10 days. On the morning of the 11th day, they returned to Bissell. Ken Levin finally understood: the people of Bissell could not walk out because they didn't know the Pole Star (北极星). In the desert, if a man goes only by his feeling, he will walk in circles of all sizes and the final footprint will probably be a shape of tape. The village of Bissell was in the middle of the desert without a reference. So it was impossible to walk out without knowing the Pole Star or taking a compass. When Ken Levin left Bissell, he took a young man named Guterl. He told him he could walk out of the desert as long as he walked in the direction of the Pole Star in the night. Guterl followed Ken Levin’s advice and succeeded. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案. 6. How long did it take Ken Levin to walk out of the desert? A. Half a day. B. Three days and a half. C. Ten days. D. Eleven days. 7.

For some kids, the answer is the same every day — a school uniform. More than 10 years ago, 3 percent of all public schools in the US required that students wear uniforms. Now, that number is closer to 10 percent. Some people support the policy (政策), hoping that uniforms will encourage students to focus on (专注于) their work.
