      Recently I was walking in town when I saw a group of school students in uniform. I was shocked to
see that the girls' skirts were very short and they were wearing a lot of make-up. The boys looked very
untidy. Their shirts were dirty and some of them even had their shirtfronts open. I noticed too that some of
the students had pierced ears and-noses, which I don' t think should be allowed at school.
      And the other day, I was riding on the subway when I saw some boys from a local school. I know they
were from this school because they were wearing the same uniforms my children. Instead of sitting quietly,
these boys were making a lot of noise, chewing gum in an ugly manner, and using bad language. All the other
passengers were looking at them and wondering how it was possible for these boys not to have any
self-respect (自尊). They were also giving their school a very bad image (形象), which is shameful (羞耻的).
      I am a mother of two teenagers at school and I am worried that my children also behave like this and I do
not know about it. Do school students know what is allowed and what is not allowed when they are wearing
their school uniform? I think the school should be stricter with the students. And I think all students should be
taught how to be polite.

请依据该家长观察到的一些学生的行为，完成下列表格中的句子。

Be supposed to	Not be allowed to
Dress up as a school student	wear very short skirt 1．one's ears or nose________
Keep uniform clean and tidy	2．make uniform ________
Behave politely	3．________ when talking
Obey the public rules	4．Make ________ in public

　 The word, “photography”, was first used in 1839. It comes from the Greek words that mean “to write with light”. But photography could only give people static pictures. So scientists were trying hard to find ways to make pictures that can move. They made lots of experiments, but failed again and again. It was Eadweard Muybridge who finally succeeded. He was the first photographer to try this successfully. But how did he make it? It was an interesting story.

Back in 1872, people didn’t know exactly (确切地) whether all four of a horse’s hooves (蹄) left the ground at the same time when it was running. A gentleman called Leland Stanford made a bet with his friend about it. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, or it would fall over. But Stanford didn’t think so.

At that time, it was hard to know who could win the bet, because a horse’s legs move so fast that it is impossible to tell just by looking. So they needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. Then Stanford offered $25,000 to the famous photographer, Muybridge, to help find the answer. In the beginning, Muybridge failed to get clear images, but he didn’t give up. He continued to improve his cameras. In 1878, after many experiments, he managed to get a sequence (连续) of 12 photos. One of them clearly showed that all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. And when the photos moved fast, people could see a horse running.

Though is usually considered as the person who created the first movie in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.

53. The underlined word “static” in Paragraph 1 most probably means _______.

A. pretty　　　　　　　　　　　 B. dark　　　　　　　　　　　　 C. moving　　　　　　　　　 D. still

54. What did Leland Stanford make a bet with his friend about?

　 A. Whose horse ran faster.

　 B. whether a horse would fall over while running.

　 C. whether it was possible for scientists to make moving pictures.

　 D.Whether a horse’s hooves all left the ground at the same time while running.

55. Muybridge finally found the exact answer to the bet in _______.

　 A. 1839　　　　　　　　　　 B. 1872 　　　　　　　　　　 C. 1878　　　　　　　　 D. 1889

56. The passage mainly tells us _______.

　 A. that Thomas Edison created the first movie .

　 B. that Eadweard Muybridge created the first static pictures

　 C. how photography helped people know more about animals

　 D. how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of motion (移动) successfully

     One day, I happened to talk to a stranger on the bus. When he found out that I was from Chicago,
he told me that one of his good friends lived there and he wondered if I happened to know him. At first
I wanted to say that it was foolish (愚蠢的) to think like that, for out of all the millions of people in
Chicago, I could not possibly know his friend. But, instead, I just smiled and said that Chicago was a
very big city. He was quiet for a few minutes, and then he began to tell me all about his friend.
     He told me that his friend was an excellent tennis player and that he even had his own tennis court.
He added that he knew a lot of people with swimming pools, but that he only knew two people in the
country who had their own tennis courts. And his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I
knew several people like that, for example, my brother and my next-door neighbour. I told him that my
brother was a doctor and he lived in California. Then he asked where my brother lived in California.
When I said Sacramento, he said that last year his friend spent the summer in Sacramento and lived
next door to a doctor. The doctor had a tennis court. I said that my next-door went to Sacramento last
summer and lived in the house next to my brother's. For a moment, we looked at each other, but we
did not say anything.
     "Would your friend's name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?" I asked finally. He laughed and said,
"Would your brother's name happen to be Dr. Ray Hunter?" It was my turn to laugh.
