| After decades of skimpy(小而暴露的)skirts and sleeveless tops on game days, some schools in the US are saying cheerleader uniforms will have to meet stricter dress codes when they are worn in class. In Lake County, Florida, cheerleaders with uniforms too skimpy for the code are being asked to wear long shorts or trousers under their skirts and a T-shirt under the sleeveless tops , according to a district memo. Principals at two of Lake"s eight high schools-Leesburg and Lake Minneola-are not allowing the outfits in school at all. Michelle Thomas, a cheerleader at Leesburg High School, was disappointed when she learned she couldn"t wear her outfit to school on game days. "It shows that we"re a team just like all the other sports." She said. But the school administrators didn"t agree. "During the educational portion of the day, they have to meet the dress code just like every other student," said school board chairwoman Debbie Stivender, who ordered the staff to bring the outfits into line with the dress code. Bare midriffs(露腰装) are banned across the state by the Florida High School Athletic Association, but no state rules mention cheerleader miniskirts. Sheila Noone, a spokeswoman for cheerleading uniform company Varsity Brands, says the outfits haven"t become more revealing over the last 10 years. She says that the short skirts are designed to help the girls jump and kick. "Cheerleading is athletic," Noone said. "There"s a lot of jumping so you won"t want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a toe touch." Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news, but say they"ll follow the rules. Even male cheerleaders, whose pants and tops meet dress codes, chose not to wear their outfits to show unity. "I understand, because they are kind of short," said Holly Bishop,14, a Lake Minneola High School cheerleader, about her miniskirt. "It would"ve been really, really cool to wear them to school." 1. According to the new dress codes for cheerleaders in some American schools,_________. A. bare midriffs are banned B. cheerleading miniskirts are banned C. cheerleader uniforms have switched from skirts to trousers D. cheerleaders have to make their uniforms less revealing. 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? A. School administrators believe cheerleader uniforms do not match school dress codes. B. Most cheerleaders show understanding of the new dress codes. C. Sheila Noone believes that cheerleading miniskirts are not revealing. D. School administrators don"t take cheerleading seriously. 3.Some cheerleaders are not happy about the news because_______. A. they hate the dress codes that other sports have B. they consider their uniforms special and cool C. they want to wear revealing clothes D. they will have to buy new uniforms 4. What is the main point of the article? A. Stricter dress codes for cheerleaders meet opposition. B. Positive reactions to stricter dress codes for cheerleaders C. American schools encourage unity in dress codes. D. Changes in dress codes for cheerleaders in American high schools. 5. What does the underlined word "hamper" in paragraph 7 mean? A. protect B. miss C. prevent D. help | ||||||||||||||||

| I"m a 21yearold boy,and this is my story. A month after I graduated from high school in 2004,I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital. I died eight times during my coma and I couldn"t talk or communicate when I woke up.Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body,my dreams were shattered (破灭)．But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream. After 14 operations and 36 blood transfusions,I had to learn how to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live independently again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in Waldorf,Maryland.After spending a few months in a wheelchair,I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle (奇迹) that I could walk again,but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk,but run. When it came true,I wanted to get back in the pool again.After a few lung tests,I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week.After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at St.Mary"s College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team. By telling my story,I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people to never give up on their dreams no matter how bad a situation is.I remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families.I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay.Somehow,things would work out for the best. | ||||||||||||||||
