May 20，2021 Dear Principal， I think the students in our school should wear uniforms.Many schools already have them.Uniforms will help our families save money，since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year.Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school.And best of all，if we all wore uniforms，kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes. I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely， Justin Jones |

Many people have a fear(害怕) of public speaking. According to a study, it has an influence on 3 in every 4 people. This fact is surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.
Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. Don’t write details. Put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. Don’t look at your note cards for a long time while speaking. If necessary, you’re only going to want to have a quick look at the card for information, not read every last word.
Smile at your class. When it comes time to speak, there’s nothing that draws your class into your speech than a good old-fashioned smile. Be happy, because you’re about to teach your class something they didn’t know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infections. That means once you smile, it’s hard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That’ll make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.
Make eye contact. Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you’re communicating with them. Also, you’ll look like you know what you’re talking about.
Use hand motions. Move your hands along as you talk, using them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.According to the passage, ______ of people might fear to speak in public.

It's time for school! But on May 14th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas, US, were told to go back home.Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school.

【2012年广东广州】Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones．Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous．
Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate 0n driving and talking at the same time．It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much．A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally．It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers．
And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22％ of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month．An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send．That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road．The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before．
Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk．No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not being professional or careful，we are put in danger by their actions．Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences(驾照)cancelled．
There is no doubt that mobile phones call be fun and are extremely useful，especially when you’re in trouble．But there is no need to use them while driving．Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own．
The underlined word“'them”in paragraph 1 refers to .
| A．phone users | B．mobile phones |
| C．drivers | D．ears |
According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone．
| A．12． | B．13． | C．14. | D．15． |
According to the passage，in what order do the following activities influence driving?
Dangerous→More dangerous→Most dangerous
| A．drinking→talking on phone→texting |
| B．texting→talking on phone→drinking |
| C．talking on phone→texting→drinking |
| D． drinking→texting→talking on phone |
Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?
| A．It will take longer to send text messages． |
| B．People will want to talk on their phones more often． |
| C．There will be more things for people to do with their phones． |
| D．People think the new phones are easier and safer to use． |
According to the writer,what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?
