The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are 36 . We think young people should 37 smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers believe that if we did that, we would concentrate more 38 our clothes than our studies. We disagree. We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying. If we cant do that, we should be allowed 39 our own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy. Its also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening. I know we get noisy sometimes, but we learn a lot from each other.

They dont have to leave their homes to order something; they can shop for anything they want at any time; they can find things for sale that they cant find in the stores near their homes. Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet. If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit(信用) card. You have to type your credit card number and information on the website(网页) and send them to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You dont want someone to get your credit card number, so be careful with it, beause people sometimes steal(窃取) credit card numbers from stores. The Internet is also a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you look at the things for sale in a store, but dont plan to buy anything. In window-shopping you can see what kinds of things you are able to get and how much they cost. Some stores like Ross Stores have a website for information about their stores, but not for shopping. Some stores have a website for information about their stores, and can shop on-line there, such as Office Depot, Payless Shoe Source, Safeway. Some stores like Amazon. com are only for on-line shopping. ( )63. Some people use the Internet to shop because _.

And even if you do not become very rich you want people to think that you are. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with the rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seemed to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.67.

It has been known to man for at least 300 years, but has come into common use only in modern times.But what exactly is sugar? Of course, most of us recognize it immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes. But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different forms, each coming from a different source.About 90% of the sugar produced is used as food; only 10% is used in industry for purposes rather than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for
