第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

American schoolchildren often wear uniforms if they attend religious or other private schools. Most public schools do not require uniforms. But over the last ten years or so, more of them have moved in that direction, including high schools. Students may have to wear a specially purchased uniform. Or they may just have t dress alike-----for example, white shirts and dark colored pants or skirts.

Even schools that do not require uniforms generally have a dress code or other rules about what they consider acceptable. Policies com only ban clothing that shows offensive (冒犯的）images or words, or simply too much skin. Items like hats may be not permitted because, for example, different colors may be connected with violent gangs.

Some parents like the idea of uniforms. They say it means they. do not have to spend as much on clothing for their kids. Others, though, argue that uniforms represent an unnecessary cost. There are also debates about whether uniforms or other dress policies break civil rights.

Students and parents have taken legal action against school dress requirements. Just last week, a judge blocked a middle school in Napa, California, from enforcing a dress code unless families have a way out of it. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California brought the case for the families of several students who were punished. Most attention centered on a girl who wore socks with the Tigger character from Winnie the Pooh.

The School said its clothing policy, including no pictures of any kind, was needed to control a growing problem with gangs. The families argued that the policy went against free speech rights as guaranteed by the United States and California constitutions. The United States Supreme Court says student expression is protected as long as it does not harm the work and discipline of a school

Alejandra Pachecho from Venezuela: It's’ so dangerous. That is because in this world same people drive very crazily. So most people who use cell phones to talk in the car usually pay more attention to what they are talking about than to driving. One of the reasons why I feel this way is that my friend had a car accident while using a cell phone. He lost his life and his friends did, too.

Rodrigo Cruz from Colombia: That depends. The advantages of using a cell phone while driving are that you can call the police if there is a car accident, call for help when somebody's car breaks down, and call when somebody needs something before arriving home or at the office. The disadvantage is that people get distracted (分心）when they are driving at the same time they are talking on a cell phone. It can cause car accidents.

Carl.Khalid from Saudi Arabia: I would recommend if you want to use a cell phone l while you're driving, pull over and take your time. You will avoid a lot of trouble. Using the cell phone while driving can save time, but using it while driving can also cause a lot of problems such as missing a red light or signs, not watching cars, or not paying attention n to the speed limit. All these problems could cause loss of concentration.

Mirna Hazim: A cell phone is helpful， it is one of the most important communication devices. For example, if you want to talk with somebody for an important reason, you can. One time when I was coming back from work at 10 0' clock at night, I had a problem in my car. It wouldn't move. I was scared to go into a store to call my brother because I didn't know the places there. I thought it could be dangerous. That night, I found out that owning a cell phone is important.
