One Sunday evening, it was quite dark when old Stanley went for his walk. He was walking along the sidewalk, Suddenly, he saw a white car coming around the corner at high speed. It was going too fast and crashed into a red car in the street where he was walking. He rushed up to the cars to see if anyone was hurt and needed help.

The two drivers were arguing.

“You came around the corner too fast,” one man said.

“No!” said the driver of the white car, “That’s not true! Your car was parked in a wrong place.”

Stanley listened to their argument and then said the white car driver was wrong to drive too fast. The driver of red car asked Stanley to prove he was right in court(法庭). Stanley gave the driver his name and telephone number.

Next Thursday morning, Stanley was asked to go to the court. The lawyer(律師) for the driver of the white car asked him a lot of questions about what he had seen. Then he asked Stanley how old he was.

“I’m eighty-two,” answered Stanley.

“Do you usually wear glasses ?” asked the lawyer.

“Yes, I do,” answered Stanley.

“Were you wearing them on the night of the accident?” the lawyer asked.

“No,” replied Stanley.

Then the lawyer said, “Why should the court believe you? You are eighty-two years old, you were not wearing your glasses, and it was dark. How far can you see in the dark?”

Stanley thought about it for a minute. “Well,” he said, “when it’s dark, I can see the moon. How far is that?”

Nowadays, more and more schools in China make rules making students wear school uniforms to school. Parents and teachers think it will create a better learning environment at school, but some students don’t like their school uniforms. So, what are school uniforms like in other parts of the world?

In Japan, boys in middle school wear uniforms called “ gakuran ”, which have dark jackets with stand-up collars(立領) and pants. Girls, on the other hand, wear uniforms called “sailor fuku”, which look like European naval(海軍的) uniforms.

Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms. Boys need to wear long grey or black pants, white shirts and school ties. Girls have the same clothes as boys, but they can wear skirts or summer school dresses during the summer term.

In the UK, uniforms were the custom throughout most of the 20th century, but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms. They think uniforms make students lose their personalities.

For children in many African countries, school uniforms can be a kind of pride, or a huge financial burden(經(jīng)濟負擔). Many children have only one uniform, and that may be all the clothes they have.

In a word, love it or hate it, the school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world, so you’d better enjoy your school uniform and your school life.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷句子正（T）、誤（F）。

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were hopeless to be alive. But the two frogs didn’t believe it. 1. The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death.2. Soon he died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die3.

When he got out, the other frogs said, ＂Didn’t you hear us?＂ The frog explained to them that he was deaf.4.

The story teaches us two lessons.5. An encouraging word to someone who is down can cheer him up and help him make it through difficulties. Secondly, a destructive (消極的) word to someone who is down can make him give up and die. So be careful of what you say.

Speak life to those who cross your path. It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. It is great for a person to take the time to encourage another.

On June 25, hundreds of people came together outside the Library of Congress in Washington D.C, and they were celebrating public libraries. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in keeping American educated. But how are these book- filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.

Benjamin Franklin founded America’s first lending library in Philadelphia in 1731. And the number of public libraries greatly increased in the late 1900s. Andrew Carnegie, a businessman, gave away millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie helped build 1,679 new libraries!

Carnegie believed that libraries could offer Americans many opportunities. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read books and news. There are more public libraries in America than McDonald’s restaurants now.

The United States is home to 9,225 public libraries. Today , the number of libraries continues to grow. Seven out of ten public libraries offer free Internet use. This can help many community members who can’t go online at home. It can also help them to have the opportunity to find jobs online.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, his statement is most certainly true!
