On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were 53 home for wearing the wrong clothes. The number of the students in the school is 1,200. Usually only around 20 students break the school 54 rule every day. So the headmaster, Mr Smith said it was the 55 new term she had ever seen.
At Morton High School, students’ 56 clothing such as baggy(宽大的) trousers, low-necked shirts and tank tops(紧身背心) are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what to 57 but the headmaster doesn’t think so. “I still agree even half the students in our school were sent home, because 99% will get the 58 that our school is for education,” the headmaster said.
“Freedom” does not 59 “being free without restrictions(约束)”. That is to say, there is no complete freedom in the world, 60 in the US and in China. Everyone should obey(遵守) the rules, or he will be punished.

How will cities use technology in the future to maintain power during natural disasters Some bright middle school students are 71 this question.
72 of students from around the world explained their ideas regarding this topic at the Future City competition, which recently took place in Washington, DC. Students from the Justice Page Middle School in Minneapolis, US, were on one of the teams.

They spent a few weeks 74 their ideas and building a model to demonstrate (展 示) them. They chose the city of Maui in Hawaii as the setting for their project. They chose this city because several different kinds of natural disasters happened there in the past.
In their project, they covered roofs in the city with solar panels ( 太 阳 能 板 ), which powered a spinning ring (旋转的环形物) that produces and stores power.
75 a power failure happens, the stored power can be sent to different neighborhoods. Extra energy can also be 76 to areas without power.
The students 77 their model to life with 3D printing technology. They printed the parts they needed and set them up on circuit boards (电路板). To make the model more realistic (逼真的), they made a base out of wooden blocks and grass. The model has lights and 78 a small train that travels back and forth. The team did not win the finals, but the experience was 79 . Ryan Rowell, 13, said he thought it was cool to think about things that he hadn’t considered before.

A lot of people are asking me about my new school. It’s 81 hard to explain, so I give them an example of one day.
It’s Wednesday morning and it’s time for the weekly school meeting. This week, one of the topics is “wheels”. Kyle, one of the kids in my class, proposes a new 82 that students can bring skateboards, skates and bicycles to school. Our teacher, Mr. Jackson 83 that we do this one day a week and the whole school votes on a “wheels” day for next Friday.
If I wanted to change the rules at my old school, it wouldn’t be that 84 ! But here at the Brown’s Free School, things are different. Here, we make the 85 ! We can decide to go to class, watch TV or play a computer game, but most students 86 to go to class—it’s more interesting! When we don’t like a class, we just 87 ! In my old school, if I didn’t stay until the end of a class, I’d be in detention （课后留校）!
At the Free School, the teachers don’t give detention, and no one writes lines. There’s no uniform and there are no 88 . We don’t need to worry about the scores. We choose what we want to study and how. We can work in 89 or study on our own. If you wanted to start a new school magazine, you would suggest it to the teachers.

If anyone can be called a scientific giant after Albert Einstein, that person must be Stephen Hawking. He was born in Oxford, England on Jan. 8th, 1942. What a pity On March 14th, 2018, the world-famous British scientist 171 in Cambridge, UK.
After leaving high school Hawking went first to Oxford University 172 he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admited, he didn’t work hard. And he did 173 work. However, he always enjoyed thinking everything around him, especially the universe. Today, he is called the King of the Universe.
It was at the age of 21 that Hawking first 174 something was wrong with him. He started to bump into some things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she 175 him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. He 176 to have motor neuron disease(运动神经元病), an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move 177 the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no ways to help him. He might die before 23.
178 , Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “After my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I was very 179 with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile(值得做的) things I could do." Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. We strongly believe that his story shows that 180 , how had their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair.” He once said, “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she talked about how she became a percussion soloist（打击乐器独奏演员）in spite of deafness.
“Early on I decided not to allow the 181 of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 182 piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion（酷爱）for music grew. But I also began to lose my 183 . Doctors told me that the nerve damage(神经损伤) was the 184 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never left me.”
“My 185 was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I learned to ‘hear’ music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can 186 the pitch of a note（音调高低）by the vibrations（振动）I feel through my body and through my imagination. My sound world exists by making use of almost every 187 that I have.”
“I decided to be a musician even though I was deaf, and applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had 188 this before and some teachers disagreed with me. Because of my performance, I finally entered the academy and went on to 189 with the academy’s highest honors a few years later.”
“I’ve been a soloist for more than ten years. 190 the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t mean that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be limited by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”

It’s spring now. New leaves come out from the tree. Everything begins to turn green. It makes us feel happy.
I watch the apple trees and remember a little story.
A long time ago, there was an apple tree and a little boy. The boy came and 191 around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the 192 , and rest under the shadow (树荫). He loved the tree and the tree loved him. Time went by … The little boy 193 up and no longer played around it. The old tree was very sad. It didn’t know 194 The boy said, “I am not a kid. I want to play with toys. But I don’t have money.”
“You needn’t 195 about it. Pick all my apples and sell them, you will have money.” After that the boy didn’t come back. Years later, the boy returned and the tree was happy. But 196 its surprise, the boy cut it down to build a house. Many years later the boy returned again. The old tree was happy and said to him “Sorry, my boy. I can’t give you 197 more. The only thing left is my dying roots. But you can sit down and rest here. This is your forever 198
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parents. When we were young, we loved playing with them. When we grow up, we 199 them, and only come to them when we need something or are in trouble. No matter what happens, parents will be there and give what they have to make us 200
We may say the boy is cruel (冷酷的) to the tree but that’s how we are treating (对待) our parents. Nowadays, many old people feel lonely because their children don’t live with them. We hope all of us try to help those old people and manage to make the old have a happy life.

Ten years ago, J. B. Gill decided to make a change. He moved from the city to start his own farm. As one of the members of a pop group, Gill had lived a busy life but the farm gave him a way to relax.
Although farming was new to him, Gill took the challenge and his experiences helped him write his book Ace and the Animal Heroes. The story follows Ace, whose life changes greatly when he moves to the countryside. After trying on a pair of magical wellies（长筒靴）, Ace realizes he can speak to the animals, who make up their minds to protect the farm.
Gill says that if he had his own pair of magical wellies, he would love to speak to wildlife, especially the wild deer（鹿） that sometimes appear near his farm. As they have no owners, Gill feels like he’s sharing their home. “It’s really interesting to hear what they’re thinking and know where they’re at,” he said.
Gill got his ideas for writing from the animals on his family farm. His children, Ace and Chiara, helped out with his book.
