School uniforms are traditional in Britain. Students at about 90 percent of British middle schools wear uniforms. When every student in the school wears the uniform nobody has to worry about fashion and they feel that they belong to a group. Some people believe that a school uniform can help students pay attention to schoolwork. But some schools in Britain and other countries are starting to drop (终止) the traditional uniforms.
An Australian school has decided to drop its traditional school uniform, hoping new sportswear will encourage (鼓励) students to take part in more activities. School headmaster Elisabeth Lenders said the uniform change had been in the works for several years. “We decided that in 2018-2019,” she said. “The importance is clear: to make young people live happy, healthy lives.”
Ms Lenders said World Health Organization research reported 90 percent of young Australians and New Zealanders were not getting enough activity they needed in order to lead a healthy life. As well as the new uniform, she said the school would change timetables to make sure there would be chances for students to take part in physical (身体的) activity every day.
Ms Lenders said in the past, a uniform was about all looking the same but now it is important for students to be able to choose clothes that they like.
And this Australian school made an online survey (调查) about the uniform change and received great support from parents and students. Tara, mother of Ava in Year 7, said it was a great move from the school. “These are the challenges of our time, and we want young people to think about them,” she said. “It is bigger than just throwing out the old uniform. It’s about what the role (作用) of education is about. And for me it’s helping young people to live a happy, healthy and productive life.”
51. What does the underline word “that” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Physical activity. B. Uniform change.
C. Happy life. D. Students’ health.
52. According to the passage, the uniform change in this Australian school ________.
A. helps students to live a healthy life
B. gives students a sense of belonging
C. teaches students to dress fashionably
D. helps students to pay attention to study
53. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Students there may wear different kinds of clothes.
B. The change receives strong support from students and parents.
C. Parents have different opinions towards the change of uniform.
D. It’s not clear whether the change is good for students or not.
D
People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions（表达）using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.”
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen, the speaker might feel “down in the mouth.” In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.
Another situation（情况）is when someone falsely claims（宣布）another person said something. The other person might protest: “I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth.”
Information is often spread through “word of mouth.” This is general communication between people, like friends talking to each other. “How did you hear about that new movie?” someone might ask. “Oh, by word of mouth.” A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece（发言人）. This is an official spokesperson. Government-run media could also be called a mouthpiece.
54. In the English language, there are many __________using the word “mouth”.
A. words B. expressions C. pictures D. ideas
55. What is the meaning of the underlined word “protest” in Chinese?
A. 抗议 B. 咒骂 C. 同意 D. 辩驳
56. If someone tells the person something that he/she was not supposed to tell, the speaker might say: “___________________”
A. Do not bad mouth me. B. I did not say that.
C. I really put my foot in my mouth this time. D. Oh, by word of mouth.
57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All expressions using the word mouth are nice.
B. People don’t use mouth to smile.
C. People might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.
D. Getting information through a company mouthpiece is not an official way.

Two years ago, my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town,it is often faster than a car and you don’t have to worry about parking. You can leave it in any place you like. As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front,I can take my little daughter to school and the library,and I can go shopping to any place as well.I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry.It can be very unpleasant in winter because the weather is cold and rainy. My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for a visit to his friend.He is not good at riding a bicycle, but he says it is better than waiting for a bus.He still likes his car best.I think all day sitting in a car is making him fatter and fatter. On my bicycle,I get a lot of exercise and fresh air, and riding makes me feel a lot younger.
