On April 5, the State Council (国务院) published new rules about school bus safety.These new rules are stricter than the old ones.
Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students go to nearby schools or boarding (寄宿的) schools to reduce traffic risks.Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.
From now on, school buses have a speed limit (限制) of 80 km/h on highways and 60km/h on normal roads.While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first.
The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超载的).
There are many other rules as well.A school bus must have more than seven seats.On each bus, there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids.Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (灭火器), a first aid kit (急救箱) and a GPS.
Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China.To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen (加强) the rules for school buses.
The most serious accident happened in Gansu in November, when a nine-seat minibus crashed (碰撞).There were 62 children inside, and 21 of them died.

25、What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably the exam. Exams can put us under a lot of pressure. But some students do well under pressure, while others feel terrible. So, why do some students perform better under stress?
It all comes down to dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a chemical (化学物质) in our brain that sends signals (信号) to our body. It has many important roles: influencing memory, attention and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine — not too much or too little.
Our brains control dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly, or gradually. Exam success can be connected to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance, according to new research from the University of Missouri, reported Yahoo.
What happens when we take an exam? If you become stressed, your brain will start to overload on dopamine. It is like a cup overflowing with water. The quicker you can go back to a balance of dopamine, the quicker you will concentrate, helping you perform better in an exam.
Scientists found that,during a test,people who slowly got back to an even balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower. That's the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.
But don't fear, there is some good news for every student. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you'll be.
So, it turns out that practice really does make perfect.
【1】Which of the following things does dopamine play a role in?
① remembering something ② having a good rest

【3】Some students do better under stress because ________.
A.they have a lot of dopamine
B.they can go back to a good balance of dopamine quickly
C.they go back to a balance of dopamine slowly
D.they have less dopamine in their bodies
