Schoolgirls have been wearing such short skirts that a Staffordshire school has ordered them to wear trousers instead. All skirts will be banned（禁止）from September at Paget High School in Branston. Tight-fitting(紧身的) trousers will also be banned and Muslim head-dressed will have to be “School blue” colour.

Head teacher Don Smith said, “one of the big problems for us at the school has been the number of girls who have been wearing improperly(不适当地) short skirts. This has been an area of special concern at a time when there have been a lot of wrong ideas of being beautiful.” Mr Smith said it would be impossible to determine(决定) how long girls’ skirts should be and that a blanket ban would be easier for teachers to carry out.

The head teacher said pupils’ and other teachers’ opinions were asked for before the new rule was set. The new clothing policy(政策) has been explained in a letter sent to parents of the school’s 1,000 pupils and will come into force after the summer holiday.

The school also wants pupils to wear clip-on ties(夹式领带) instead of traditional neckwear. This rule will be gradually out over the next year and support will be given to parents unable to afford the new tie.

One parent, whose teenage daughter studies at school, said, “I completely agree some girls were wearing skirts that were too short. However, I think girls should be allowed to wear skirts. Other school manage to let girls wear skirts while making sure they are not improperly dressed. I don’t see why Paget can’t do the same”

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared(恐惧的), or afraid—all of which can give you a stomach ache or a headache.

However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.

On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.

The best way to face the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, exercise, leisure(休闲), and food. If you get enough sleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably(可能) feel less stressed.
