Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. But American schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they will get punishment, too.

On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for not wearing the wrong clothes. There are altogether 1,200 students in the school. Usually only 20 twenty students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster There sa May erik said it was the worst new term she had ever seen.

At Morton High School, students’ favorite clothing such as baggy（宽大的）trousers, low-necked shirts and tank tops（紧身短背心）are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what the clothes they want to wear, but the headmaster doesn’t think so. “I’d be supportive if half the school was sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school are for education.” “Freedom” does not mean “free of restrictions（约束）”. That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the US or in China.

In places of Asia, especially China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.

Chopsticks are two long thin tapered（锥形的） pieces of wood. Bamboo is the most material, but they are also be made of all kinds wood, as well as plastic, animal bone, ivory（象牙质）, metal, coral（珊瑚）and so on.

Sometime chopsticks are quite artistic. Chopsticks can be covered with artwork. They might be made of gold and have Chinese calligraphy（书法）on them. A child’s plastic set of chopsticks might have a carton character, such as Mickey Mouse. 

The Chinese have been using chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, using twigs（小树枝） to remove it.

One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He hold up a glass of water and asked the class, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” 

The students’ a  1   ranged from（从……延伸到）50g to 100g. 

“It does not matter on the weight i  2   . It depends on how l  3   you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache on the r  4   arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance（救护车）. It is exactly the same weight, b  5   the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

“If we carry our burdens（负担）all the time, s  6   or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a w  7   before holding it up again.” 

We have to put down the burden s  8   , so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. So before you return home f  9   work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can put it up tomorrow.

People usually talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Scientists think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.

The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually trend to be active. People think that red is the symbol of exciting sociable（善交际的） people. Those who like to be with others like red. The cool colors are green, blue and purple. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.

Red may be exciting, but one scientist says that time seems to pass more quickly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggested that a warm color such as red and orange, is a good color for a living room or a restaurant. 3 People who are relaxed or eating don’t want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices of factories, because the people who work there want time to pass quickly. 

Scientists don’t know why people think some colors are warm and others are cool. 4 However, almost everyone agree that warm colors remind people of warm days and cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. Because the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
