24、Liang Xiyan still missed her long black hair, which was cut two weeks ago.

Liang became a senior high school student in September. In her new school, the rules say that boys’ hairstyles must be cropped (剪短) and girls’ hair cannot fall below their shoulders.

Liang’s school is not alone: many have similar rules on hairstyles. Teachers think a cool hairstyle is a waste of time and money. It may also distract students from their studies. “Your personality (个性) is not shown in how you wear your hair but in your ability,” say teachers.

It’s difficult for students to follow these rules. Teenage students like to look nice but they are asked to wear school uniforms. Liang says the only way in which they can be different lies in how they wear their hair. And they want to copy their favorite stars’ hairstyles. They wouldn’t be happy in a school with strict rules.

“I prefer a school with rules-on hairstyles,” said Li Man, a Senior student. She said her school’s rules on hairstyles are OK but there could be some little changes. “For example, boys should be allowed to have their hair a little longer,” Li said. “But students must not dye or curl their hair (染发或烫发). This way there will not be so many complaints.”

【1】Which of the following hairstyles is not allowed in Liang’s school?

A．A boy with long and yellow hair.

B．A boy with short and black hair.

C．A girl’s hair is above her shoulders.

D．A girl’s hair is black and short.

【2】Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.

A．what rules schools have

B．what students think of the rules

C．why schools have the rules

D．how many schools have similar rules

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “distract” in Chinese?

A．引领

B．使分心

C．保护

D．使远离

A．can show their personalities by hairstyles

B．must not have a cool hairstyle

C．should wear the same shoes to school

D．can show they are different by wearing their favorite clothes

26、

Are you tired of making so many decisions every day? People may be faced with up to 35,000 choices and a huge number of options (可选择的事物) per day. When tired of decision making, people may depend on fate (命运)—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.

Shall we make choices at random ( 随 机 )? I came to think about the benefits of random decision making when watching a TV show last night. Its main character Sheldon used the dice to randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant. He did this to free up his mind to consider some more important problems. However, his friends question the method’s success. Indeed, this random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him. Sheldon finally realized that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks. This example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it’s necessary to reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.

In some unimportant decision situations, randomisers make it easier to decide. But how do dice work in more important decision situations? It’s hard to accept the idea of completely depending on a dice. However, this doesn’t mean that dice or coins can’t be of any help at all.

Let me borrow another example from Sheldon. He couldn’t make up his mind when choosing a new TV set from two. His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin. Rather than blindly following the result, however, she suggested checking his emotional reaction. Did he experience happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin’s result? Sheldon’s reaction could be useful to find out which one he truly preferred.

Recently, scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people to imagine the two different results more clearly, which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction, and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.

A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process. When using dice, people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different options. This helped to speed up their choices.

Taken together, recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice as long as people don’t let the results control their choices. Using them but keeping the freedom to be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.

【1】The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making   .

A.is always effective

B.helps make a good order

C.may work better with fewer options

D.can offer more solutions to important problems

【2】The writer probably agrees that   .

A.people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situations

B.people will make better choices when experiencing happiness

C.dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary information

D.reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one’s true preference

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Follow Your Heart or Your Head?

B.Should You Let the Dice Decide?

C.Listen to Friends, or Roll a Dice ?

D.How Do You Make a Wise Decision?

28、Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it

There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t【1】? It’s a question that more people are asking.

In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m【2】 it’s the language of government business and the media（媒体）. And it’s also the language that is used in schools.

Shanghai is a special city. It is modern fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua shows that by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated. “I love riding on the b【3】  and listening to people speaking Shanghaihua.”Miss Evans, an American reporter said.“I don’t understand a word they are saying but I like the s【4】 of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things “ renao ”（热闹）so even a discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a【5】 interesting.”

Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are under more and more pressure（压力）to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l【6】 often in everyday life. Some people want to keep the language from d【7】 completely by building museums and having cultural festivals to save it. But a language isn’t a painting or a book. It’s a living thing and you e【8】 use it or lose it.

If people stop using it in their d【9】 lives, a museum or a festival will not h【10】. It will be lost forever like the Yangtze River dolphin.
