However, recently, a Japanese government survey (政府调查) shows that more students in Japan like uniforms now because school uniforms are more fashionable(时尚的) than they were before.I surveyed some Japanese students about what they thought about school uniforms. I asked them, “Are fashionable uniforms popular or not?” There were lots of different opinions(观点,看法).Hiromi said, “I like school uniforms because I dont need to choose clothes every day. I think that fashionable uniforms are good. My high school uniform is fashionable, but there is a problem. Fashionable uniforms are too expensive.”Miki said that she didnt like fashionable uniforms because she didnt want to spend so much money on uniforms. She thought that the uniforms should be changed(被改变). They should be cheaper and easier to get.Mitsuaki said, “I dont like school uniforms because I want to look different.

If students like fashionable uniforms, it is good.”（1）Do more students or fewer students like uniforms in Japan now?（2）What is the question of the survey?（3）How many students opinions are there in the passage?（4）Why does Hiromi like school uniforms?（5）Why do students not like school uniforms?4. （8分） A small ,white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmasoh, not the true meaning of Christmas.Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing giftsrunning around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma,spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin.

Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kidsall kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. Thats when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me.

There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another persons life.Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day our relatives, friends, and neighbours who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students all these people can be considered as heroes.
