It was August in the US, and the school year had just started, when one parent received an
unexpected phone call.
Stacie Dunn had been called to Woodford County High School because her teenage daughter
had been caught going against the dress rules. But the offense left Dunn shocked.
She arrived to find her daughter in a set of pretty ordinary clothes: a cardigan, a tank top and
jeans. The trouble, administrators indicated, lay with her daughter's exposed collarbone (锁
骨). Bare shoulders and naked collarbones are illegal under Woodford. County High School's
dress: rules. Students who break these rules can receive detention (the punishment of being
kept at school for a time after school)—or, after multiple violations (违纪)，be prevented
from going to school entirely.
Dunn was very shocked and angry. "Parents are being called away from their important jobs,
and students are missing important class time because they are showing their collarbones,"
she wrote on the social media site Facebook, attaching a picture of her daughter in the
offending clothes. "Something needs to change!"
Dress rules vary by school districts and are often decided by teachers and school
administrators. Yoga pants and skinny jeans are banned. Certain dress rules also require
knee-length pants and skirts.
Some school administrators argue they are simply supporting having a professional standard
of dress to prepare their students for their future careers. But others have told students that
their clothes present a "distraction" to others.
Certain schools have chosen to re-evaluate their dress rules, with input from parents and
students. Even Woodford County High School—home of the "collarbone" ban—is
reconsidering its policies this month. But, at least for now, the dress rule debate is far from
over.
（1）Why was Stacie Dunn called to Woodford County High School?
daughter went to school with bare shoulders.
daughter broke her collarbone.
daughter broke the dress rules of the school.
daughter received detention.
（2）Under the dress rules, which of the following clothes are acceptable?

（3）How did Stacie Dunn respond to being called to school?
wasn't in favor of what the school did.
turned to Facebook for help.
bought a standard dress for her daughter.
accused the school of wasting her time.
（4）The underlined sentence in the last paragraph indicates that ______.
debate between parents and students will never be over
schools will take measures to change their policy
problem of "clothes distractions" will last
argument on what to wear and how to dress will continue
A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great
minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who disliked humor, "Laughter is nothing else but sudden
glory arising from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others." He thought humor
to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness.
However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph. D of Education, insists, "Humor allows us to view the world
from an angle that is amusing rather than serious." I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at
the world through humor is important.
In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express
their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the
way of lemming? Television shows like The Daily Show have become important parts of
American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplane-ing
politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.
Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists
and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self-image.
On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular
musical group "The Pussycat Dolls", describing their hit song "Don't Cha" as a negative
representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor
for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny
bone in a potential partner.
Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸
俗) and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing
us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.
Though life may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at
my increased wrinkles (皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin
wasn't aware of.
