Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. 1 American schools also have their rules. If the students 2 the rules, they will be punished, too.
On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were 3 home for wearing the wrong clothes. The number of the students in the school is 1,200. Usually only around 20 students break the school 4 rule. So the headmaster, Theresa Mayerik, said it was the 5 new term she had ever seen.
At Morton High School, students' 6 clothing such as baggy(宽大的) trousers, low necked shirts and tank tops (紧身背心) are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what to 7 , but the headmaster doesn't think so."I still agree even half the students in our school were sent home, because 99% will get the 8 that our school is for education," the headmaster said.
"Freedom" does not 9 "being free without restrictions(约束)". That is to say, there is no complete freedom in the world, 10 in the US and in China. Everyone should obey the rules, or he will be punished.

The most positive(乐观的) person I have ever seen is my dad! He is so positive that I do not 1 hearing a single word from him which is related(相关的) to hopelessness!
Unlike most moms and dads, my dad never says things that make me feel 2 . He is always there to give me encouragement and help. 3 I do wrong things, he always tells me what's right in a positive way. For example, if I am in 4 , he often tells me to open the books he bought me. Then he asks me to read the stories that can help me 5 the problems I'm facing. After that, we have a 6 together.
Even though I'm not always a good kid, my dad 7 shouts or gets angry with me. I know that he's 8 a day—a day when I grow up and understand things in my life.
I can see the reason why he is so positive is that he believes in 9 .And he believes that whatever 10 , it is under control. So we have nothing to worry about. Be positive!

The students of seventh grade walked into the hall with laughter and voices. We were told to listen to a speech by Mrs. Marks about bullying(欺负) and peer pressure (同伴压力). During the whole year, our grade had listened to speeches on these topics over and over again. My friends and I sat back, preparing to sit through another 1 speech.
But as soon as Mrs. Marks started talking, she caught my attention. She talked in the way as if she knew how to reach into our minds and make us 2 . And for once, I actually began to think about what she was talking about.
One boy, especially, came to my mind. Every day, this boy came to school late. The students in the class would always make fun of him. They said, "Hey, man! Where have you been " And then another added a more unfriendly joke. Their jokes would continue until the teacher 3 them to stop. But it was always too late. The boy would put his head down on his desk in 4 .
I felt really sorry for this 5 boy. Then I turned my attention back to the speaker and listened carefully till the end.
"Now, before I leave today, I would like to give everyone here an opportunity to say something on the subjects of bullying or peer pressure. You may apologize(道歉) to or thank someone. And I can promise that no one will 6 at you this time.
The silence in the room made me believe her. Slowly I saw a few hands rise. One girl wanted to apologize to a friend, and another thanked a boy for his kindness. It was then that my moment of 7 happened. The speaker called on me, and I began to talk.
"What you said today 8 makes sense. I know that it's true, because I see it every day in class. There is one person who is always made fun of." My voice shook, I think that everyone here has made fun of him. I know I have. And now I really 9 it. To us, it may just be a game, but to him, it must hurt. And I think well, I think we need to stop."
There was a silence for several seconds, but then, clapping quickly spread through the crowd.
Later that day, the boy thanked me. And from then on, the other students began to 10 him better. They stopped playing jokes on him and greeted him with a friendly "Hi". I was pleased I had voiced something that everyone was feeling.

A new law in New York allows people to bring their dogs to restaurants. Some people 1 eating with dogs is great.They think that it's good for dogs. They say owners don't have to leave their pets home alone or in cars while they eat out. But some people are 2 about eating next to dogs. They say dog hair can create unclean conditions. Also, dogs can annoy(烦扰) customers 3 barking or making a mess.
Should dogs be 4 in restaurants Here is what two students think.
YES! As long as dogs are well-behaved and clean, there's no 5 why they shouldn't be allowed in restaurants with their owners. When restaurants allow dogs, people can spend more time with their 6 . That will make them both happier. If someone doesn't want to eat near dogs, they can eat in the indoor part of the restaurant, 7 they can go to a restaurant that doesn't allow dogs.
Victoria Gonzalez, North Carolina
NO! Dogs 8 be allowed in restaurants. They can cause health problems. Some people are allergic(过敏的) to dogs, so being around dogs could be 9 for them.

Sun Li was not happy at school last month. It was not because 1 hated school. It was because of her 2 .
Sun studies in Anhui. Her school has a 3 rule about hair: no changing your hair color, no curly hair; boys should have a crew cut (平头), 4 girls’ hair can’t hang past their ears.
Sun and the other girls in her class hate the 5 . They call it “mushroom head (蘑菇头)”.
Sun’s story is not the 6 one. In many other schools, there is also a hairstyle rule. Last week in a school in Beijing, some students were 7 to cut their long hair.
Mr. Xu is the headmaster of the school. In his school, girls can’t have hair past their shoulders (肩膀). He says the hair rule is there for a good 8 . “Everybody needs to have a look that matches (与……相配) his or her job,” says Mr. Xu. “Those hairstyles are for adults. Students are 9 from adults.”
The strict hair rule is not only made for students. Teachers also have to 10 it. “While students can’t change their hair color, neither can their teachers,” says Mr. Xu.

Wang Ling, a middle school girl, felt angry with her parents after getting a boy’s phone call. “A classmate called me to discuss homework. We talked 1 just a few minutes before my parents got mad,” said the girl. “They asked whether I liked the boy. I said I didn’t, 2 they wouldn’t believe me.”
Wang’s trouble is not strange at all because puppy love(早恋) becomes a big headache for 3 parents and schools. They worry that puppy love will be bad for 4 . Her school even makes it a rule not to allow any talks or any physical contact(身体接触) 5 one boy and one girl alone.
Many students say they understand why parents and teachers are so 6 about puppy love. But some think they are going too far. “We have our own thoughts and we know what to 7 with it,” said Wang Ling. Another girl, Jiang Ting, likes making friends with boys. “Boys and girls can learn from each other,” she said. “My mother asks me to study hard. However, she never stops me from 8 friends with boys.” Once Jiang told her mother she might fall in love with a boy. Her mother let Jiang make 9 own decision. Soon Jiang found that she didn’t like him anymore because the boy was not as 10 as what she had thought before. And she did worse and worse in her subjects because she spent less time on them. At last she understood the worries from schools about puppy love.

It's the lunchtime break at Shanghai Xianxia Middle School. No mobile phones can be heard ringing anywhere. The common sight of crowds of children chatting(聊天) on their phones or sending short messages has disappeared.
A grade-2 student said: “I couldn't concentrate(集中注意力) during classes if the cell phone was with me. I couldn't help checking if there were messages or missed phone calls. I even played games on the phone sometimes.”
The schools say they feel the ban(禁令) is necessary to keep order in class. They even gave out an open letter to remind parents not to let their children bring mobile phones to school. More than 96 percent of parents say they welcome the school decision. The school is also being flexible(灵活的) in implementing the ban. Those students who live far from school are allowed to bring mobile phones to get in touch with their parents. But they still have to turn them off in classrooms.

Every school has its own set of rules to keep students disciplined(守纪律的). The rules change from one school to another. Some schools are much stricter than others. There are also some rules that look strange or funny to us. Here are some funny school rules.
In Japan, most schools demand that students wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. But many Japanese schools even regulate(规定) the color of underwear! They also demand that girls' white socks be folded in a certain way and boys' heads be shaved(刮过的). And Japanese schools also tell students that they may not date, go to movies, leave home after sunset or play video games without permission from the school.
In America, for safety at some schools, students must have a pair of indoor shoes to change into at school every day. This makes sure students won't fall over on the wet floors and keeps the schools clean. Gum(口香糖) chewing is not allowed in many US school buildings, as it is difficult to clean up. And if students chew gum in class, they may not focus on their study.
In Britain, strange hairstyles are not allowed in some schools. But they might allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup years. Two students had a special design shaved into their hair during 2014 World Cup. But they were not accepted by their school after that because the school said the rules had changed since then.

A discussion about whether students should be allowed to use mobile phones at school is held in an English class. There are some different opinions among the students and the teacher.
Student A: We are preparing for adults' life. So we should be allowed to use the tools that we will use in our adult life. When we go to work, the need to use mobile phones will be very strong. Not preparing us for that world is thoughtless(欠考虑的).
Student B: I think that mobile phones should not be allowed. I find it hard to concentrate(集中注意力) during class since I always receive text messages. Don't get me wrong. I love my mobile phone. Students can use mobile phones, but just not during school. They go to school to be educated, not to spend time on WeChat or Weibo.
The teacher: Students should be allowed to bring their own mobile phones, while they also have to pay attention to their studies. Being allowed to bring their own mobile phones will show respect to them, and in return, they'll give back the respect to the teacher, which also helps to improve their studies.
