11． Every school has its own set of rules to keep students disciplined (守纪律的). The rules change from one school to another. Some schools are much (1)       than others. There are also some rules that look (2)       or funny to us. Here are some funny school rules:
Tough Japanese rules
Most schools demand (要求) that students wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. But many Japanese schools even have rules about the (3)       of underwear (内衣)! For example, only white is O.K. They also demand that girls' white socks should be folded in a (4)       way and boys' heads be shaved (剃过的).
Other Japanese schools tell students that they may not date, go to movies, leave home (5)       sunset or play video games if the school doesn't permit it.
Different shoes in US
For safety at some US schools, students must have a pair of indoor shoes to change into at school every day. This makes sure students won't fall over on floors and keeps the schools (6)       . Chewing gum (口香糖) is not permitted in many US school buildings, as it is (7)       to clean up. And if students chew gum in class, they may not (8)       on their study.

13． Sarah was excited. She was going to be 13 in two weeks. Her mother said it was a big day for a teenager. She said that Sarah could have a tea party to celebrate.
Sarah had 20 people in her class, and her mother said she could invite all of them. So they bought beautiful cards and wrote down the guests' names, and the time, date and place of the party. Sarah's mother also wrote down her phone number, so that guests could reply. Then they posted the invitations.
When you receive an invitation, it is polite to reply as soon as possible. You can either write a reply or make a telephone call. It's especially important when it is a wedding or anniversary (纪念日) invitation.
Sarah received 19 replies. One boy did not reply. "He is very rude!" said Sarah's mother.
The party was held in Sarah's village. Her guests brought birthday presents as well as flowers for her parents. It is polite to bring a. pngt for your host, even if it is only small. It means you are thanking him or her for inviting you.

14． Did you know that you could expect to live almost 20 years longer today than someone who was born 100 years ago? Thanks to improved medication and social conditions, life expectancy (预期寿命) in most countries has been increasing for decades. But researchers believe we have finally reached our biological limit (生理极限). A report in the journal Nature says it is unlikely our life expectancy will increase again. The oldest person to ever live was French woman Jeanne Calment, who was 122 when she died 19 years ago. The report says she will probably remain the oldest, because it is unlikely anyone will live beyond the age of 115. The "absolute maximum age (绝对最大年龄)" may be 125, according to the report, but it is not very possible that anyone could actually live that long. Jan Vijg at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York led the research. His team studied the age of people who had died in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Japan. They found that the age of the oldest people dying had increased steadily between the 1960s and 1990s. "But beginning in the 1990s, you no longer see that," Vijg told NPR. "You see that it stays the same." Of course, many scientists and drug companies are still trying to find ways to increase our lifespan (寿命) beyond 125. But there is one simple way to make sure you live a healthy and long life. "Stop smoking, start exercising and eat a healthy diet, "Professor Dame Linda Partridge, director of the UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing, told CNN. "What will be will be. It's only a question of when."

36．
Gordon, the "barista" (咖啡师) at San Francisco's Cafe X, will not greet you by your name or wish you a (1)             day. Why? Because Gordon is not a human (2)             a robot (机器人).

38．阅读并完成下面的图表. 每个空白对应一个单词.
Normally people have various feelings. Shyness (害羞) is one of them. It means feeling frightened when you are around other people. Some children were born shy. Some become very shy later because of life experience. In fact, everyone gets a little shy sometimes. It depends on how shy you are. If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn't a big problem.
Scientists say that shyness generally begins during childhood. Most of the time, shyness is caused by people's worry about what other people think of them, so shy people often find it very difficult to meet new people. This fear has bad effects on their work life, social life and love life. The following suggestions may be helpful for shy people.
Find ways to relax when you go out. When you are old enough, consider drinking a glass of wine before going out for the night. Talk with your friend or family member to help yourself calm down.
Look best when you go out. Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Listen carefully when people speak. Shy people sometimes think that meeting new people means having to do a lot of talking. You can ask simple questions and then be a good listener. People love to feel like other people are listening to them and sharing their point of view.
Build your confidence and change your attitude (态度) towards meeting new people instead of worrying about how they will think of you, and think about what are good points you hope to find in the new person you will meet.
Try these suggestions if you do feel very shy. Hopefully you can enjoy your life better.
