Section A (10 marks)

　　　 Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

　　　 Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

　　　 While the debate over school uniforms is complicated, the pros of wearing school uniforms are obvious.

　　　 Most teachers and school officials feel that school uniforms make a better student. They believe that the uniforms reduce distractions(分心) and discipline problems. Some students have turned school into an unending fashion show. This distracts from learning as some kids spend more time focused on their clothes than on homework. Some say that a child in a school uniform is more likely to take school seriously. Putting on the school uniform signals he or she is going to school just like dad dresses up to go to work. Schools report that when students dress in “work clothes” rather than “play clothes” they take a more serious approach to their studies. Some teachers feel wearing a school uniform helps build school spirit. Schools report an increase in school pride after introducing a uniform policy.

　　　 To many parents, uniforms are a less-expensive alternative to shopping at specialty and department stores. They are becoming far less expensive than many other clothes. They argue that school uniforms are economical, especially compared to designer clothing. Therefore, in these parents’ eye, students don’t have to worry about whether what they wear looks good or not when they are dressed uniformly. They suggest that if students wore uniforms, their self-image would be based on academic achievement instead of on a wardrobe. They also say school uniforms last longer because they are made for repeated wash and wear. What’s more, school uniforms decrease fighting and violence that arises out of arguments over fashionable clothes. Children invariably tease those who do not have trendy clothes. Those who can’t afford name brand clothes are often sensitive about their clothing. Schools struggling with gang(一帮) problems report that school uniforms help ease tensions.

　　　 The school uniform actually becomes a means of control by the school to fulfill its functions.

Section B (10 marks)

　　　 Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.

　　　 Many people are nervous before they take a test. But some people are so consumed by anxiety that they actually defeat themselves, performing poorly on the exam even when they know the material they are being tested on. Recently some researchers say they’ve developed a way to help people with extreme test-taking anxiety to relax before their exams. The technique involves having test-takers write down their fears, and that simple exercise results in a dramatic improvement in test scores.

　　　 Why students become so nervous that they are unable to perform in a test-taking situation? Before a test, they start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether the exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when people worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources that could otherwise be used to focus on the exam.

　　　 In a series of laboratory experiments, a group of 20 anxious college students was given a short math test and told to do their best. Afterwards, the students were either asked to sit quietly before taking the test again or to write about their thoughts and fears regarding the upcoming re-test. Researchers created a stressful testing environment, telling the students they would receive money if they did well on the second test. The group of students who sat quietly before retaking the second math test scored worse, their accuracy dropping by 12 percent on the second test. But students who wrote about their fears immediately before the re-test showed an average five percent improvement in accuracy on the second math test.

　　　 What the researchers showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who’d done the writing intervention(干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. These students who most tended to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these testing situations.

　　　 It is suggested that even if a professor doesn’t allow students to write about their worst fears immediately before an exam or presentation, students should try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
