Shree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year. Bose has a large circle of friends, and there’s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.

If that isn’t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazine’s Young Amazing Women of the Year.

After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her

scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.

Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.

Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白質(zhì)) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.

“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.

Bose’s achievements aren’t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.

Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she’ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.

Thomas, the pioneering White House reporter known for putting presidents on the hot seat, died at 92.

To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure. Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon. It is an honour she has earned. Besides, it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best—challenge the president and other public officials to tell the plain truth. She said, “ We reporters’ priority(首要事情) is the people’s right to know---without fear or favor. We are the people’s servants.”

Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920. All the nine Thomas' children were brought up to value education, and all were expected to make something of themselves through working hard. She decided to become a reporter while in high school. After receiving her bachelor's degree in 1942, Thomas headed for Washington D.C, looking for a newspaper job. Soon, she landed one at Washington Daily News. Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper's reporters and editors. This young woman found the atmosphere exciting, believing she had made the right career choice.

Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President John F．Kennedy and his family. Once President Kennedy took office, Thomas changed her focus from the president's family to his policies. She began attending the daily press briefings at the White House as well as presidential press conferences. Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy. Over the years, Thomas found her job “thrilling and inspiring”， but never boring. And she took seriously her duty to “keep an eye on the president” and keep American people informed.

There are various reasons why people write poetry. Some poems tell a story and describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. Others try to convey certain emotion. Poets use different forms of poetry to express them. The nursery rhymes may not make sense of and even seem contradictory. List poems have a flexible line length and repeating phrases what give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. The cinquain and haiku can give clear picture use the minimum of words. English speakers also enjoy some forms of Asian poetry--Tang poems from China in particularly. With so many different forms of poetry to choose, students may eventually want to write poems of their own.

On her first day back at school in August, Stephanie Hughes, a teenage student, was sent to the principal’s office at Woodford County High School in Kentucky, US and her mom was called to school.

She had made a “huge” mistake－at least in the eyes of the school－by wearing a top that showed her collarbone . It was against the school’s dress code.

“This is ridiculous!” Stacie Dunn, Hughes’s mom, wrote on the social media site Facebook. “Something needs to change!”

The incident has become an Internet sensation. Across the US, schools like Woodford are being criticized for their dress codes. Some say the rules are especially unfair to young women.

Over half of US public schools have a dress code, and they are often different for girls and boys, according to the National Center for Education Statistics in the US. Some dress codes, for example, ban skirts and ask for pants to be at least knee-length.

Some have pointed out that these rules are mostly for female students. Women’s clothes are usually cut to be more fitted and shorter, while men’s clothes are longer and looser. In practice, more women will be caught breaking dress codes. The New York Post reported that last year, one school in Staten Island, New York gave 200 dress code detentions in two weeks－90 percent of which went to female students.

Some school administrators say they simply want students to dress professionally to prepare students for their future careers. But others have told female students that their clothes present a “distraction” to male students. That idea is being criticized.

The “distraction” argument is unfair to women, critics say. It suggests that exposed skin means that you want criticism or sexual advances.

“These dress codes mean that girls are getting very clear messages that men have a right to your body in public spaces and it’s socially acceptable, but you will be punished,” Laura Bates, a co-founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, a project that aims to promote equality between men and women, told The Atlantic.

Some students have taken action to change the situation. They have started online campaigns and made short films to build public support.

Certain schools have now chosen to think again about their dress codes with parents and students. Even Woodford County High School－h(huán)ome of the “collarbone” ban－is thinking again about its policies. But, at least for now, the dress code debate is far from over.

1.The underlined phrase “dress code” in Paragraph 2 means in the article.

A. rules for dressing

B. bans on wearing certain clothes

C. policies for dressing professionally

D. policies on what to wear for special occasions

2.What does Stacie Dunn think is “ridiculous”?

A. Her daughter making big mistakes in class.

B. Showing collarbones being considered a huge mistake.

C. Sharing the incident on Facebook.

D. Being called in to school.

3.The dress codes are mainly a problem for female students because .

A. women’s clothes are loose and long

B. they are often caught breaking them

C. they often dress in a way that draws attention

D. women’s clothes are often short and fitted

4.The dress code debate has led to , according to the article.

A. many students ignoring their school dress codes

B. students starting online debates and campaigns about the incident

C. some schools reconsidering their policies with parents and students

D. public support of more discussions about equality between men and women

請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Amazingly, US crime figures have been falling for 20 years now．Of course, the big question is, why? And can any lessons be learnt?

One reason could be the fall in the demand for the drug crack．During the 1980s, drug-related crimes soared, mostly caused by desperate crack users．However, according to professor Blumstein, co-author of The Crime Drop in America, news of the dangers of crack use caused its decrease and led to a fall in the number of drug-related crimes.

Some say that the adoption of a zero-tolerance policy in many cities has helped lead to a fall in crime．In New York City, for example, mayor Rudy Giuliani imposed strict and automatic punishments for all crimes, including minor offences such as graffiti and littering．Many believe this has had a very strong deterrent(威懾的) effect.

Another reason could be smarter policing strategies．Anti-theft measures and educating the community about car theft has helped see a drop in crimes in many areas．Also, the use of crime mapping schemes that can discover identify crime peaks in different parts of the city has helped police target hotspots.

Another reason could be that more criminals are now behind bars．Sociologist John Conklin (from Tufts University) says a significant factor behind the fall in crime in the 1990s is the simple fact that many criminals are in jail．In his book Why Crime Rages Fell, he says sentencing was merciful in the 1960s and 1970s, when crime rose．But then more prisons were built and more offenders were imprisoned.

Some have linked the fall in violent crime to a decline in children’s exposure to lead in petrol．Jessica Wolpaw Reyes says, “Even low to moderate levels of exposure can lead to behavioral problems, reduced IQ, hyperactivity(多動(dòng)癥) and youth crimes．You can link the decline in lead between 1975 and 1985 to a decline in violent crime 20 years later.”

Others say that the drop in crime has something to do with birth rates．According to statistics, birth rates peaked between 1957 and 1961, and the proportion of men in the US in their late teens and early 20s (the so-called “criminal age”) was highest in the late 70s and early 80s．However, as time went on, the proportion of people in this age group decrease

Others claim that videogames have helpe

A recent study has suggested that these games are keeping young people off the streets and therefore away from crime．Advocates of this argue that any effects the games may have in encouraging violent behavior is offset by the fact that the games keep potential criminals indoors and in front of the television．

Some argue that the widespread use of camera phones makes some criminals think twice before committing a crime and getting filmed doing it．Also, many believe that the mass use of CCTV has also had an effect.

Finally, some say that petty theft just isn’t worth it any more．The resale value of second-hand goods such as televisions, cameras or clothes is now so low (or even non-existent) that most people see no point in stealing．

So, what do you think?

1.By writing this article, the writer intends to tell us _____.

A．the amazing fact that US crime figures are going down

B．the recent statistics showing that crime rates are falling in the US

C．the answers to the question why US crime figures are falling

D．the special policies adopted by the US police that help a drop in crime

2.“Why Crime Rates Fell” is mentioned in the article to tell readers that _____.

A．drug crack can be extremely dangerous

B．crime mapping schemes help the police discover criminals

C．criminals should be strictly sentenced

D．children shouldn’t be allowed to contact lead

3.The sixth reason mentioned in the article implies that _____ tend to commit crimes．

A．children

B．young people

C．the poor

D．crime victims

4.The underlined word “offset” most probably mean _____.

A．reduced

B．caused

C．imposed

D．demanded
