To wear rohes and wigs(長(zhǎng)袍和假發(fā)) ,or to not wear robes and wigs: that is the question. In 1776,when the United States declared its independence from England,the Founding Fathers set out to create a government and wrote the most important political documents. It is not surprising that they used English common law as the basis of our society’s laws. Apparently,they also debated court dress. Thomas Jefferson,and a few of his colleagues,wanted judges to wear suits in order to rid the influence of the English era. John Adams,on the other hand,wanted to keep the tradition alive. The Founding Fathers did what they did best,and compromised. They threw away the uncomfortable wigs and kept the robes.
At the time,Supreme Court Justices usually wore red robes. But Chief Justice John Marshall changed the dress rules by putting on a black robe.
He started a new fashion and judges in the United States have been wearing black ever since.
The tradition of robes came from the English,but why were the English wearing robes in the first place? The wearing of robes by justices can date back to the 15th century. English judges wore red,green,reddish blue,and black robes depending on the fashions of the time. In 1635,it was decided that reddish blue robes should be worn in the summer and black for the winter. It was also decided that red robes should be worn on ceremonial occasions.
The origins of wearing the black robe in England are debated among historians. Most historians say that the black robe tradition started with the mourning of the death of Queen Mary II in 1694.
However,in the United States,the tradition of black robes Was not always followed. Former Idaho Supreme Court Justice,Byron Johnson,chose to wear a royal blue robe stating in a letter to his friend that he sat in the “black and blue” court.
Wearing black robes will most likely continue in the United States for a long time to come. However,everyone,especially judges,should take a moment to thank Thomas Jefferson for convincing John Adams to give up those ridiculous wigs.

Five reasons your scale might be wrong
1. You weigh yourself on different days each week.
In a Cornell University study published last year,researchers analyzed the food and weight diaries that 80 people kept for up to a year. They found that people's weight changed considerably throughout the week. 36 Keep weigh-in days consistent for a more accurate assessment.
2. 37
File this one under “Yes,scientists have actually studied this/' When University of North Dakota researchers weighed people with and without clothes at various times of the year,they found that men can reduce 2. 5 pounds for their clothing and women can reduce around two pounds,on average.
3. You don't take muscle gain into consideration. You’ve heard that muscle is denser (密度大的) than fat. 38 If you start a strength-training routine,the number on the scale (秤) might not change,but you could still lose inches and drop a clothing size or two.
4. You just drank a lot of water.
It's called water weight for a reason: Drinking one pound of water can translate to about one pound of weight. So if you stand on the scale soon after drinkiag an entire water bottle's worth,you might not like what you see. 39
5. You weigh yourself after hard exercise.
Compared with water weight,if you weigh in after a tiring cycling class,you may lose weight temporarily because you work up a good sweat. 40
A. You miscalculate your clothing.
B. But don't worry,it's just a temporary gain.
C. Salty foods cause your body to save extra water.
D. In fact,it takes up only about a third as much space.
E. Jump on the scale if you need to improve confidence.
F. You should be aware of how much water you have drunk.
G. Many people were heaviest on Mondays and lightest on Fridays.

Question:
Hi,Carolyn. I am Amanda. My problem is with Stacy,my roommate of three years (we,re all 24) . When my other roommate,Joanna,and I have an issue (such as emptying the dishwasher) , we talk through it calmly and non-defensively,we apologize,and it's all good. Stacy becomes extremely defensive,gets worked up,and lashes(嚴(yán)厲斥責(zé)) back at us. What's more,she’ 11 never .bring up anything that bothers her. She keeps it all bottled up,and then occasionally will explode.
She's also super-competitive with us about everything,extremely judgmental and negative. She gets angry that I keep in contact with certain people she doesn't like. I don't let her control me. I do my own thing and generally feel sorry for her,but I'm finding it harder and harder to ignore her controlling nature.
We've been friends for six years now,and I've gotten to the point where I know this is terrible and I need to move out when my lease(租約) is up next year. I just need to figure out how to live with her in the meantime!I'm constantly living in fear of the next explosion.
Portland
Answer:
It's not only an exhausting way to live,but also completely counterproductive. There isn't much you can do about her; it's neither possible nor your place to re-raise her into someone comfortable with weaknesses in herself and others.
However,there is a lot you can do about yourself,just by opening up and backing off,which might also serve Stacy well if any kindness toward her is sincere. When she gets defensive,say: aHey,you're my friend and I love you. This really is just about dishes." When she turns things back on you,weigh whether she has a point and freely acknowledge when she does instead of getting defensive right away.
Try to be calm and warm. Give her defensiveness no fuel. If this doesn't repair the friendship,it will at least make you live in peace.

A. They get along well.

Summer survival guide
Finally ... the season of sun,fun,and freedom!36 Follow these steps to keep yourself healthy and safe.
Don’t rely on sunscreen. Yes,you need to slather(大量地涂抹) sunscreen on exposed skin,but other precautions are just as important. Seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and protect your skin and face with clothing,a hat,and shades.

Know the signs of heat stroke. When it’s hot or humid,it becomes harder for your body to release the heat generated during exercise. If your core temperature becomes too high,heat stroke can set in. Avoid ending up in the emergency room by starting slower than normal,then gradually increasing the intensity of your workout over two full weeks. 38
Turn down the car radio. Here's a scary fact: 39 So cut out any distractions(分心的事物) while driving 一 from exciting music to texting — that can raise your risk of having an accident.

I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone,N. C. , where I ate at F. A. R.M. (Feed All Regardless of Means) Cafe. You can volunteer to earn your meal,pay the suggested price ($10) or less,or you can overpay — paying it forward for a future customer's meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Cafe opened in York in April,I signed up for a volunteer shift(輪班).
F. A. R.M. and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafes. In 2003,Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation,helping others copy her pay-what-you-can model.
“I think the community cafe is truly a hand up,not a handout,^ Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society,but people typically dori 51 feel good about going there.
“One of the values of the community cafe is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here,no one needs to know whether you volunteered,underpaid or overpaid."
The successful cafes not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhoods — whether it's a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some- offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we’ re all in this world together. '
My 10 am-1 pm shift at Healthy World Cafe began with the cafe manager — one of two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly,but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift,I ordered my earned meal at the counter,together with other volunteers. After lunch,I walked out the door,with a handful of new friends,music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.
28. What did the author do at F. A. R.M. Cafe last summer?
A. She worked as a volunteer.
B. She overpaid for her food.
C. She ate free of charge.
D. She enjoyed a meal.
29. What is the advantage of community cafes compared with soup kitchens?
A. People can have free food.
B. People can maintain their dignity.
C. People can stay as long as they like.
D. People can find their places in society.
30. Why are community cafes becoming popular in the neighborhoods?
A. They bring people true friendships.
B. They help to bring people together.
C. Theycreatealotofjobopportunities.
D. They support local economic development.
31. How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Cafe?
A. It paid well. B. It changed her.

Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games,it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles - you can come together with them in the virtual world.
Bill Wyman,former bass player in the Rolling Stones,has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own experience suggests quite the opposite.
Last year,I bought Guitar Hero III for our 14-year-old son,Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.
A few months later,while I was away on tour,a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along to a track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack's friends taught him how to play along to his favourite songs using just his index finger on the bass string. He got it right away.
Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players 一 how to strum the strings with one hand while making chord shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now,preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.
Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument,it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognisable sound the first time he plugged in.
So let's not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and,in our son's case,gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.
24. What's Bill Wyman's attitude towards music video games?
A. Approving. B. Negative.
C. Unconcerned. D. Curious.
25. The first time Jack played with a real electric guitar,he.
A. did it successfully
B. taught his friends how to play
C. didn't know how to strum the strings
D. didn’ t know how to play along to a song
26. Jack's case shows .
A. Guitar Hero is a useful game .
B. kids should learn an instrument
C. parents should encourage their kids
D. computer games are harmful for kids
27. What's the best title for the text?
A. A new computer game
B. The story of a guitarist
C. In defence of Guitar Hero
D. The best way to play guitar
