Most schools have a rule that students must wear uniforms to class. The

magazine TIME for Kids asked readers to discuss whether or not students should wear uniforms

at school. Here, two of them share their ideas.

Yuna, 9, California:

Teachers don’t have to worry about losing sight of (看不见) students on the playground or

on a field trip. Also, when kids wear uniforms, both the older and younger students feel like they

are part of the same group. I wear a uniform and feel like my school is one big team. I think it is

harder to bully（霸凌）someone about his or her clothes if you are all wearing the same thing.

When everyone wears the same, you don’t have to worry about how you look or about wearing

the latest trend（潮流）. Parents can save money, as well! And in the morning, I can save time

because I don’t have to choose what kind of clothes I should wear.

Emerson, 12, Michigan:

I don’t think kids should have to wear a uniform. If students are wearing the same thing,

they can’t express themselves. Kids should feel like they can be their own person. During school

hours, we should also be comfortable. If students could wear normal clothes, we’d be able to

express ourselves, be comfortable, and not spend money on clothes that we never wear at home.

A. uniforms B. costumes C. kimono D. cheongsam

A. parents B. teachers C. children D. babies

Riley, Shirelle and London are high school students in Washington, D.C. They

wrote their own book. It began with something important they noticed. People usually give

different messages to boys and girls. For example, it’s OK for girls to cry and be open about their

feelings while boys need to hide（藏）these feelings and be strong instead.

The three teens saw this happening around them. It happened to younger brothers. It

happened to their friends. They decided to write a book about the problem. All three regarded

the problem as “toxic masculinity（有毒的男子气概）”.

Man Up! came out in November, 2019. Shout Mouse made the book. Shout Mouse is a

company（公司）that helps teen writers share stories. Kathy runs Shout Mouse. In her opinion, teen

writers understand younger kids. Shout Mouse lets them share what they have learned growing up.

Man Up! is about a boy named Aaron. He is teased（被取笑）for crying. He cries when he’s

upset by a hurt dog or a losing game. Aaron is lucky, though. He has an elder brother he can get

help from. He learns that talking about his feelings is a good thing. He can help his friends be

more open as well.

The three high school students hope their book Man Up! will help readers. They want

readers to understand other people’s feelings better.

1. Where are the three high school students from?

Bread making is a living skill. With a few simple things such as flour (面粉),

sugar, milk and other things, you can make a fresh piece of bread for your family. Bread making

can also make you feel better when you feel bad. What’s more, bread making and cooking are

great ways to help people with health problems in mind.

Julie uses culinary therapy (烹饪疗法) to help people deal with many problems. She explains

that culinary therapy works in many ways. “Whether you’re cooking or you’re making bread, you

need to put your heart into it at the moment. And making bread really needs to follow a recipe

step by step. When you knead the dough (揉面), you are able to relax and forget all the trouble

and just notice the here-and-now. If you can do that, you will be able to relax and be happy with

your life.” Julie thinks bread making not only helps you feel good, but also makes something you

can touch and eat!

“Often our food experiences are tied to family stories. We remember meals our

grandmothers made. We teach our children to make delicious food for family,” Julie said. “To be

able to pass that on to someone else can certainly make the day for the person receiving it. But

it’s also just as great for the person who’s giving the cooked food. It’s a win-win. People really

get a lot from it as well.”

make bread, you need _________ in the passage.

A. flour B. sugar C. milk D. all the above

2. We can know that Julie _________.

A. works in a hospital B. doesn’t like bread making

C. has helped many people D. makes dough for her family

3. The underlined word “recipe” means ________.

A. 食谱 B. 处方 C. 秘诀 D. 感觉

4. From the last passage, Julie wants to tell us “________”.
