Son's Help
Mr. Lang worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博) and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and hardly forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didn't listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was hardly sent away. After he came out of lockup(拘留所), he hated her very much and the woman had to leave him.
It was New Year's Day. Mr. Lang didn't go to work. He felt lonely and wanted to gamble again. He called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his fiveyearold son to go to find out if there were the policemen outside. They waited for a long time and didn't think the police would come and began to gamble. Suddenly opened the door and in came a few policemen.
“I saw there weren't any policemen outside, daddy，” said the boy, “so I went to the crossing and asked some to come.”

A group of British schools are banning skirts after helplessly watching the fashion of “hemline_creep” when girls roll up skirts to show more of their legs.Rising hemlines among girls in their midtolate teens have long been a headache for schools.Now，it seems，girls who are leaving homes with perfectly proper skirt lengths manage to transform their uniform into microminiskirts by the time they get to school.
Some are so short that the headmaster of Tewksbury School in Gloucestershire said they are “almost like belts”．Obviously，they have become a bit of a distraction (分心) for both boys and male teachers.
Robert Kelly，headmaster of Berwickshire High School in Scotland，said short skirts could cause “inappropriate thoughts” among boys.And Hilary Winter，headmaster of Piggott School in Wargrave，Surrey，described short skirts as a “difficult distraction for members of staff ”．
In the town of Ipswich alone three schools have removed skirts from their approved uniform list.David Hutton，headmaster of Northgate High School，said，“Unfortunately，despite getting in touch with specific parents，sending some girls home to change，requiring others to wear a schoolowned skirt for the day and repeatedly asking others to unroll their skirts，we still had some girls coming to school in inappropriate skirts.”
“I have therefore introduced a trousersonly policy，which will enable my staff to focus their time and effort on providing students with the best education possible.”
Girls at Nailsea School near Bristol are used to a uniform ban.Two years ago，they were forbidden from wearing trousers made by the clothing brand Miss Sexy，which were reportedly too low on the hips (臀部) and too tight.“Staff were becoming embarrassed by seeing too much of the girls instead of the uniform，”headmaster David New said.“They were very low, hipsterstyle，very tight trousers.”
Now they have been banned from wearing skirts.
“We didn't want to waste any more time on it.It just means that teachers can concentrate on what's important in education，”New said.
Megan Throp，a 15yearold student at Guiseley School in Leeds，facing a trousersonly policy，told the Yorkshire Evening Post newspaper，“Our rights and freedom of being young women have been taken away because we have been forced into wearing school trousers.”
However，students are likely to find another means of adjusting dress code (着装规定)，as David New told the LA Times，“I suspect that，teenagers being teenagers，there will be a new uniform violation (违反行为) that becomes the habit，”he said.“That was true when I was at school，and I'm sure it was true when my father was at school.”
【语篇大意】 本文为一篇谈论文。很多英国学校禁止女生穿过短的裙子，由于女生穿得过短会使男生分心，也使老师很难专注于自己的工作。尽管学校严令禁止，但是同学们总能找到好的方法转变她们的校服。
40．The underlined words “hemline creep”(Paragraph 1) probably mean ________.
A．making the trousers tighter
B．cutting off the bottom of a skirt
C．reducing the length of trousers
D．folding the bottom edge of a skirt
解析 词义猜想题。难度较大。依据第一段中的“...when girls roll up skirts to show more of their legs”可知，四个选项中只有D项与画线部分意思相近。故选D项。
答案 D
41．What measure has Northgate High School taken to keep girls from wearing short skirts?
A．Asking parents not to buy skirts for their daughters any more.
B．Keeping girls wearing inappropriate skirts out of school.
C．Reminding girls not to roll up their skirts again and again.
D．Permitting only a small number of girls to wear skirts at school.
解析 细节理解题。难度中等。依据第四段其次句中的“...Unfortunately，despite...and repeatedly asking others to unroll their skirts...”可知，答案为C项。
答案 C
42．What David New said implies that ________.
A．teachers should focus more on their work than on uniform
B．trousers by Miss Sexy were banned because they're too short
C．most teenage girls would like to be treated as young women
D．children will always find a new way to change their uniform
解析 推理推断题。难度中等。依据最终一段“I suspect that，teenagers being teenagers，there will be a new uniform violation that becomes the habit.”可推断出，尽管学校现在禁止她们穿短裙，但是同学们将总能找到新的转变她们校服的方法。故选D项。
答案 D
43．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．British schools banning skirts
B．Uniform violation becoming a habit
C．Short skirts causing distraction
D．Trousers—only policy meeting opposition
