The rules change from one school to another. Some schools are much stricter (严格的) than others. There are also some rules that are strange or funny to us. Here are some funny school rules: Strict Japanese rules Most schools ask students to wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. But Japanese schools even have rules about the colour of the underwear! They also require that girls' socks should be folded (被折叠) in a certain way and that boys' heads should be shaved (剃). Other Japanese schools tell students that they can't watch the films after sunset. Different shoes in the USA At some American schools, students have to change their shoes when they go into the schools every day. This makes sure that students won't fall over on the floors and will keep the schools clean. No strange hair in the UK Strange hairstyles are not allowed in some British schools. But they may allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup years. After the World Cup, their teachers will ask them to go to the barber’s at once. 24.

Different school lives C. Different school activities D. Different school rules C Taking notes (笔记) is an important part of learning. Students listen to the teacher. They write down the important things. Or they use a computer. These days, many students take a computer to class to type (打字) their notes. Some people think that using a computer is better. People type faster than they write. That means they can write more. If you can type fast, you can type every word the teacher says. Computers are becoming very common in classrooms. Almost every student in university has a computer small enough to take to class in order to type notes. Fewer students write things down. So there is a trend in schools now to spend less time on teaching kids how to write. Schools are moving away from teaching younger students how to write by hand. Many people see no need for writing by hand. However, studies advise that it is good to write things down. When people can't write every word, they have to think about it more. They have to pick out what is important. And the act of writing seems to help them to remember. Studies show that people who write down their notes remember the information better. A new study done by Princeton University and University of California, found that students who took notes by hand learned more than those who used a computer. In the study, 65 university students listened to the teacher and took notes with pens or computers. Then they did tests about how well they remembered and understood the lesson. Results show that pen users do better than those who take notes with their computers. 27. People think it's better to use a computer to take notes because they can ____. A. get more useful information B. find everything on computer C. type faster than they write D. get every word the teacher says 28. If we say something is a“trend”, we may mean it is“becoming ____”. A. possible B. simple C. common D. important 29. The writer tells us it is good to write things down by ____. A. telling us an interesting story B. asking and answering questions C. giving us a piece of advice D. showing the results of a study 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Schools won't teach students how to write by hand. B. Writing the things down can help us to remember. C. Students need to take a computer to class in university. D. It's important for students to learn how to take notes. 四、信息还原（每小题1.5分，共6分） 阅读对话，从所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两个项为多余选项。 Lily: Tom, what qualities do you think are important in a good friend?

Reading together with others, known as buddy reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading, but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a programme and has got a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school learnt a lot from this two-year programme. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and careful. This activity also provided them with a chance to practise lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or getting on well with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt closer as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now winter vacation is coming. It's a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 35. What is buddy reading? ____________________________________________________ 36. Who do schools usually pair up older buddies with? ____________________________________________________ 37.
