School uniforms are traditional in Britain． Students at about 90 percent of British middle schools wear uniforms． When every student in the school wears the uniform, nobody has to worry about fashion and they feel that they belong to a group． Some people believe that a school uniform can help students pay attention to schoolwork． But some schools in Britain and other countries are starting to drop (终止) the traditional uniforms．

An Australian school has decided to drop its traditional school uniform, hoping new sportswear will encourage students to take part in more activities． School headmaster Elisabeth Lenders said the uniform change had been in the works for several years． “We decided that in 2018-2019,” she said． “The importance is clear: to make young people live happy, healthy lives．”

Ms． Lenders said World Health Organization research reported 90 percent of young Australians and New Zealanders were not getting enough activity they needed in order to lead a healthy life． As well as the new uniform, she said the school would change timetables to make sure there would be chances for students to take part in physical (身体的) activity every day．

Ms． Lenders said in the past, a uniform was about all looking the same but now it is important for students to be able to choose clothes that they like．

And this Australian school made an online survey (调查) about the uniform change and received great support from parents and students． Tara, mother of Ava in Year 7, said it was a great move from the school． “These are the challenges挑战) of our time, and we want young people to think about them,” she said． “It is bigger than just throwing out the old uniform． It’s about what the role of education is about． And for me it’s helping young people to live a happy, healthy and productive life．”

26． What does the underline word “that” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A． Physical activity．    B． Uniform change．         C． Happy life．       D． Students’ health．

27． According to the passage, the uniform change in this Australian school ________．

A． helps students to live a healthy life             B． gives students a sense of belonging

29． According to Ms． Lenders, what is the new idea about school uniforms now?

A． They should make all students look the same．

B． They should be cheaper than before．

C． Students should have choices in what they wear．

三、信息还原（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back． That is why some friendships don’t last very long．   31   You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you． Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous(慷慨); be understanding．

Honesty is where a good friendship starts． Friends must be able to trust one another． If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out． If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust．   32 

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow． You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course． Instead, you must learn how to share things you enjoy, your hobbies and interests． Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings．   33   They tell your friend what is important to you． By sharing them you help your friend know you better．

Sooner or later, everyone needs understanding and help with a problem． Something may go wrong at school． Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve．    34   So to be a friend you must listen and understand． You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better．

  35   But all true friendships have three things in common． If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding．

A．To have a friend, you must learn to be one．

B．A friend in need is a friend indeed．

C．No two friendships are ever exactly alike．

D．Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem．

E．These can be valuable to a friend．

F．Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly．

G．Your friendship is very important to me．
