see their underwear? what do you think of that? fashionable? some of todays teenagers are big fans of such a look. but recently this trend has been at the centre of an argument in italian middle schools. the headmaster of a school in central italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. his request came after a class trip, when he saw one boys baggy trousers slide to his feet. he pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for schoo1. but in italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. the issue is whether the head teachers request will limit students freedomor whether dress in italian schools is too casual. a parents group praised the proposal in favour of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings. “we do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained. “but extremes of fashion like this are not right in schoo1.” many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers. most students have simply ignored the request. ludovica gaudio, aged 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. it was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. another 14-year-old said she should probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons. “i dont really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans”, said sarah lattanzi.” in winter, when dressed like that, its quite cold and i am afraid my stomach will ache.51. what led to the argument in italian middle schools? a. students craze for fashions. b. clothes that are too exposing.c. students ignoring dress rules. d. students underwear.52. which of the following supports the headmasters request? a. fashion should be taken seriously. b. fashion should not be followed in school. c. students should have their freedom in choosing what they wear. d. students should be encouraged to have good taste in clothes.53. the purpose of this story is to _. a. show chinese students that wearing very fashionable clothes in school is under attack in other countries, too b. show that dress rules are necessary even in a country like italy c. tell us about a debate which started in italian middle schools over the way students get dressed in school d. let us see that italian students react differently to schools requestsbin the usa , forbes magazine has published its annual list of the richest people in the world. bill gates of microsoft is the richest man again for the eleventh successive year with a fortune of forty-four billion dollars.there is a record of 691 dollar billionaires according to forbes magazine. between them they have a fortune of two point two trillion dollars. the highest concentration of the ultra rich is in new york followed by moscow and san francisco and then london and los angeles. but in total the very wealthy live in forty-seven different countries with iceland, kazakhstan, ukraine and poland entering the list for the first time this year.laksmi mittal, an indian born steel tycoon enjoyed the biggest increase in personal fortune. his net worth has quadrupled to thirteen billion dollars making him the worlds third richest man. ingvar kamprad, founder of the swedish furniture chain ikea also saw a big increase in wealth taking him to the sixth place. developing countries make more of a showing than in past yearsthere are for example three russians and four indians in the top sixty richest people. asian wealth is

cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2015, according to the latest plan released by the state council.besides the existing pollution control program for co2, regional emission caps(区域排放上限) for other certain chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areasthe yangtze river delta, pearl river delta and the beijing-tianjin-hebei region. coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas，according to the plan.the plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollutionsuch as acid rain and smogwhich have become increasingly obvious in china in recent years and caused a severe threat to peoples health, zhang lijun, vice minister of environmental protection, said in an interview on monday.the air quality in a city affects the areas nearby because pollutants can travel in the sky, said chai fahe, vice director of chinese research academy of environmental sciences.“so efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a certain pollutant(污染物) will not be enough,” chai said.zhang said the countrys major industrial districtsthe yangtze river delta, pearl river delta and the beijing-tianjin-hebei regionhave recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent years.these three regions, home to at least 200 million people, occupy only 6.3 percent of the countrys area but consume 40 percent of the countrys coal and produce half of its steel, according to official figures.studies also show that the visibility(能见度) in eastern regions of china has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s, as a result of air pollution.liaoning province, the shandong peninsula, wuhan in hubei province and its surrounding area, the changsha-zhuzhou-xiangtan region in hunan province, the chengdu-chongqing region, and the western coast of the taiwan straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs, according to the plan.the new plan also requires an improved air quality system, which will measure the pollution levels. “the current system, which only measures some major pollutants, cannot reflect the true picture.” said chai.57. it will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city because _. a. air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent yearsb. air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening peoples healthc. air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areasd. air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities58. suppose the visibility in

a. to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollutionb. to introduce the new plan to control air pollutionc. to provide official figures of air pollution levelsd. to point out the regions
