Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate with them politely.

How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.

Do you know How to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.

Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other countries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk.

And how do you say goodbye? That’s easy, wave（挥手） to say goodbye. But be careful! In Greece, it’s not at all polite! In fact, it’s very rude!

It's time for school! But on May 14th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas,

US, were told to go back home.

Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school.

Schools in the US don’t always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes (着装要求). For example, Duncanville High School tells students to wear belts, shirts without logos （标识）.

Schools’ most-hated (最讨厌的) clothes are different.

In 2011, the saggy ( 松垮 的 ) trousers law was passed in Florida. It stops students from wearing trousers that show body parts.

Now, "the favorite new target ( 目 标 ) of the school dress code" is leggings( 紧 身 裤 ), reported the Associated Press. Some schools don't allow leggings. Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings.

Some students complain (抱怨) that schools are going too far(做得太过分) .

But schools say dress codes help protect students’ safety and make sure they grow up with good taste (有良好的鉴赏力).

"We want to teach them that they must meet the expectations (期望) not only here in school, but also outside school," said Andre Smith.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself ? Please read the following passage.

Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life.

It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such asstairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average ( 平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger - tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is

about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.

On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.

It is very difficult to find a public place without advertisements now. We can see them in the newspaper, on TV, and even when we watch a ball game on the sports field, ads will meet our eyes.

It is true that in the activities of business, ads are playing a more and more important part. They tell people about new products and help more in sales. In this way, they help to be on the increase of products. This is a big advantage.

However, ads also bring people all kinds of disadvantages. For example, some of the manufactures (生产者) want to win a big market for their products. They are so dishonest that they don’t tell the truth about their products. When people are watching an interesting TV play, it is suddenly stopped by some ads. All above, people don’t like ads. Also, some ads fit children, and they ask their parents to buy them something in the ads, even they don’t need the things at all. From this point, ads really have some disadvantages.

1.Where can we find advertisements according to the passage?________________ ________.

2.What are advertisements used for?_________________________ _____________ .

3.Why don’t some manufactures tell the truth about their products?______________ ___ .

4.What do people think of ads according to the last paragraph?_____________ ________ .

5.Do children ask for the only things they need in the ads?__________________ ______ .
