26、 It was August in the US,and the school year had just started,when one parent received an unexpected phone call.
Stacie Dunn had been called to Woodford County High School because her teenage daughter had been caught going against the dress rules. But the offense left Dunn shocked.
She arrived to find her daughter in a set of pretty ordinary clothes:a cardigan,a tank top and jeans. The trouble,administrators indicated,lay with her daughter's exposed collarbone (锁骨).Bare shoulders and naked collarbones are illegal under Woodford County High School's dress rules. Students who break these rules can receive detention (the punishment of being kept at school for a time after school)—or after multiple violations (违纪),be prevented from going to school entirely.
Dunn was very shocked and angry.“Parents are being called away from their important jobs,and students are missing important class time because they are showing their collarbones,” she wrote on the social media site Facebook,attaching a picture of her daughter in the offending clothes.“Something needs to change!”
Dress rules vary by school districts and are often decided by teachers and school administrators. Yoga pants and skinny jeans are banned. Certain dress rules also require kneelength pants and skirts.
Some school administrators argue they are simply supporting having a professional standard of dress to prepare their students for their future careers. But others have told students that their clothes present a “distraction” to others.
Certain schools have chosen to reevaluate their dress rules,with input from parents and students. Even Woodford County High School—home of the “collarbone” ban—is reconsidering its policies this month. But,at_least_for_now,the_dress_rule_debate_is_far_from_over.
【1】Why was Stacie Dunn called to Woodford County High School?

【4】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph indicates that ________.
A. the debate between parents and students will never be over

D. the argument on what to wear and how to dress will continue
27、 Travelling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, but what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful tips.
Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses(花费) to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.

28、 Getting your teen to think beyond his own immediate needs can be more difficult than cracking a nut with a plastic fork. But don’t worry. It’s not impossible. There are many ways to encourage your teen to care about those outside his immediate circle of friends. As he begins to have responsibility towards others, he will realize he feels even better about himself.
“Teens are thinking about career, college, and what their future might look like,” explains Michelle Maidenberg, a clinical director of Westchester Group Works, a center for group treatment in New York. “This is very challenging and just one of the reasons why they are so focused on their own world.” Once teens participate in community service, however, they begin to look beyond their personal needs. They also learn firsthand about the challenges others face, and they experience a sense of authority as they realize they can make a real difference in others’ lives.
Not sure how to convince a teen to get away from the cell phone and into a community project? Teens buy into community service when the project or program is in an area of their interest. “Finding something in an area of interest for them keeps them motivated and inspired,” Maidenberg says. For instance, if he is interested in culinary(烹饪) school, he could volunteer in a soup kitchen or bake for a project that supports families in need. Volunteer projects in your teen’s area of interest will build her knowledge base as well as help others.
Parents can do their part by participating in community service themselves. Teens can learn directly from their parents that personal enjoyment is not all that matters.
Let teens know the benefits they will obtain. “Give them every reason in the world to volunteer,” Maidenberg advises. She says that working on community service projects builds confidence. “By working with others, teens improve managerial, interpersonal and communication skills. Community service helps to approach maturity when they take a step back to see the needs of other people,” she adds. Another reward: service hours look great on a resume!
【1】According to Michelle Maidenberg, it’s hard to get teens to think beyond their own immediate needs partly because________.
A.they care more about their circle of friends
B.they have no interest in doing anything
C.they have to work hard for college
D.they are facing many challenges
【2】The underlined phrase “buy into” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.
A.agree to join in B.spend money on C.get away from D.are interested in
【3】The writer mentions the benefits in the last paragraph in order to ________.
A.make teens feel much better about themselves
B.encourage teens to care about his own needs
C.help parents reason teens into volunteering
D.get parents to do more community service
29、 Looking for a fun Earth Day activity? You may want to try plogging, or picking up litter while jogging. Strange as it may sound, the new “sport” is becoming popular with runners worldwide? many of whom are posting photos of themselves and friends holding bags of trash on social media.
Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom. In 2016 , after moving to Stockholm in northern Sweden, Alstrom showed concern over the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work. Thus, he began plogging during his daily runs.
Other joggers soon joined Alstrom, and the activity became so popular that official “plogging” events started all across Sweden. As plogging became popular on social media, the new “sport” began to spread beyond Sweden, first to other European countries and then worldwide.
The official online “Plogga" group now includes members from over 40 countries, all the way from United States cities like Ohio to Thailand and Ecuador. Many school running clubs are also getting in on the action to encourage people, staging competitions that reward the runners with the heaviest trash bags.
As it turns out, plogging is not only good for the environment but also a healthy way to exercise. According to Swedish fitness app Lifesun, an average person burns about 288 calories while plogging for half an hour. This is about 50 calories more than he/she would burn when just jogging. Additionally, the constant squatting (蹲) to pick up litter increases the plogger’s flexibility, while lugging (费力地拖) around the increasingly heavy garbage bags helps strengthen his/her arm muscles.
On this Earth Day, be sure to put on your running shoes, carry a trash bag or two, and go plogging. Or better still, start a plogging team at school, or around your neighborhood, and make every day Earth Day!
【1】Why did Erik Alstrom decide to pick up litter while running?
A.He wanted to clear out a path to ride his bike.
B.He was fond of exercising on his way to work.
C.He dreamed to become popular across Sweden.
D.He was concerned about the trash on the road.
【2】How do school running clubs support the new “sport”?
A.They post photos of official events online.
B.They explain what plogging means on stage.
C.They hold competitions to attract people to plog.
D.They compete with one another for members.
【3】Why is Swedish fitness app Lifesun mentioned in paragraph 5?
A.To say that plogging is environment-friendly.
B.To show that plogging is of benefit to health.
C.To offer the approaches to exercising properly.
D.To tell joggers to carry heavy bags to work out.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Plogging: A Fun Activity for Earth Day and Every Day
B.Running Is Really Helpful to Environmental Protection
C.Plogging: A Strange But New “Sport” for Runners
D.What We Should Do to Reduce the Amount of Litter
