Remote Area First AidCThirteen-year-old Rachel Griffin was looking forward to the annual (年度的) dinner dance at Readington Middle School in New Jersey. At least, she was expecting it until she got the news that the dress she had bought would not be appropriate. It doesn’t have straps (肩带). “My dress is modest. It’s not revealing whatsoever,” Rachel said.However, Rachel’s principal (校长) doesn’t agree. Ms. Moffatt has put the word out recently that girls’ dresses must have straps or sleeves. If not, they won’t be able to attend the dance.“Everyone is angry. We’ve already bought our dresses,” Claudi ne Nijenhuis said. “She could have told us before the spring break.” But Claudine’s mother thinks that is not the point. “I’m objecting to the fact that the school can change the rules without asking parents for opinions, so I feel a little disappointed,” she said. Ms. Nijenhuis also objected to the principal’s stated reason for the policy. “Ms. Moffat has stated that such dresses distract boys and are not appropriate for young girls. Her comment about distraction to boys is particularly wrong, because it suggests that boys are not able to control their behavior when in the presence of girls wearing strapless dresses.”Ms. Moffatt had not commented publicly on the dress issue as of Tuesday night. But her policy has many teachers’ support. Some parents are also publicly supporting her. “I don’t think it’s about a dress code,” parent Phillip Ritter said. “It’s about respecting authority.”Ms. Nijenhuis disagrees. “As a parent, Ms. Moffat is free to control the dress of her children,” she said. “But as a principal of a public school, she should not give a rule what our children may or may not wear.”Late Tuesday, Ms. Moffat said she would reconsider the rule and announce her decision next month. Rachel hopes the principal will change her mind. “I don’t want to wa ste my money, just because I bought a dress that doesn’t have straps.”53. What trouble does Rachel meet?A. Her parents refused to buy her favourite dress.B. She bought a dress of low quality.C. She is not respected by her classmates.D. She will probably be refused to attend the dinner dance.54. Why did Claudine’s mother feel disappointed at the principal’s rule?A. The principal didn’t ask parents for opinions.B. The principal made excuses for her wrong decision.C. The principal didn’t unders tand what the students wanted.D. The principal didn’t make the decision in time.55. What does the underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Trouble.B. Interest.C. Disturb.D. Confuse.56. In Phillip Ritter’s opinion, parents should .A. voice their opinions loudlyB. discuss the rule with the principalC. stop talking about the dress issueD. try to follow the principal’s instructionDGetting a clench (紧握) can activate (激活) your memory, according to a new study. Here’s how: Clench your right fist before taking in new information that you want to remember. Then clench your left fist when you want to remember it later.This strange trick may work because clenching your hands activates the side of the brain that handles memory. For example, in right-handed people, the left side of the brain is primarily responsible for storing information while the right side of the brain is responsible for recalling memory.To test this idea, researchers led by Ruth Propper from Montclair State University studied 50 right-handed college students. Most of them were girls. They were given a list of 36 words to remember. They were also given a small pink ball to clench.One group clenched the balls ten times with their right hands before memorizing the words. Then they did the same with their left hands before writing down as many words as they could remember. Another group performed the same task but reversed (颠倒) the order of the cl ench they made. A third group didn’t clench the balls at all but held them gently in hands each time.The group that started with the right hand performed the best on the memory test. “The findings suggest that some simple body movements can improve memory,” Propper said in a statement describing the results, which were published in the online science journal PLoS One.Participants recalled(回忆) an average of ten words if they clenched their right hand for storing information and their left hand for recalling information. People in the group that used the opposite clenching pattern recalled an average of six words. “But more work is needed to figure out whether this technique will actually be useful,” Propper said.57. The purpose of the study is to show .A. how to clench fists in a right wayB. the relationship between clench and memoryC. why people should always clench their fistsD. the relationship between exercise and memory58. According to the text the participants of the study .A. could remember 36 wordsB. clenched nothing in their handsC. usually use their right hands dailyD. were mostly boys from a high school59. What’s mainly talked about in the fourth paragraph?A. The study process.B. The study results.C. The study background.D. The study purpose.60. In which part of a magazine could we probably find this text?A. Heath.B. Communications.C. Entertainment.D. Science.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余项。
