rules.In most schools,boy students are not allowed to have long hair while girls are not allowed to dye their hair.And most school rules say that students should wear their school uniforms at school.And students must obey these rules so that they can get healthy development at school.But some students have disagreements.They think that boy students having long hair doesnt mean that they are not good students.They want to show their own personality.They think that they would look cool too if they had long hair and the hairstyles like their favorite stars.A girl student thought that she would look much more beautiful if she had brown hair.So she had her dark hair dyed brown one day.When she went back to school the next day,the teacher was very angry with her.She said that she worked hard at her lessons and did well in every subject.She just didnt know why the teacher didnt allow her to dye her hair while women teachers can.It is not wrong for teenagers to love stars hairstyles or wear their favorite clothes.However,a school has its own rules for all the students to obey so that the school can be in good order.Students should not break the rules at school.4.What arent boy students allowed to do in most middle schools according to this passage?A.To have long hair.B.To wear uniforms.C.To like famous stars.D.To show their own personalities.5.Why did the girl

healthily.7.What is the passage mainly about?A.Hair styles and clothes.B.Schoolboys and schoolgirls.C.Students and famous stars.D.School rules.C Cuckoos dont bother building their own neststhey just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds and take over their nests.But other birds are wishing up,evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the cuckoo eggs.Cuckoos are often know asparasites,meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species.To avoid detection,the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets.If the host bird doesnt notice the strange egg in its nest,the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after it comes out,taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young,the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes,which were only now beginning to fully understand.One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra colour-sensitive cell in their eyes,which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can.This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which might be exactly the same to our eyes.Fascinatingly,were actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their evolutionary war with the cuckoos.For instance,some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts.The blue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts,and yet they are still sometimes rejected.Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks.While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs,their cuckoo invaders just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots.And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious trick.Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path as the redstarts,but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion.Whats remarkable is that the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good,and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.It speaks to just how thoroughly a species behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection,or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the dunnocks.Biologists have suggested that these birds are willing to tolerate a parasite every so often because they dont want to risk accidentally getting rid of one of their own eggs.8.This passage can be most likely found in a _.A.science survey B.nature magazine C.zoo advertisement D.travel journal 9.What does the underlined word“parasite”in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?A.Animals that work together to raise young.B.Small harmful animals such as worms or mice.C.Animals that can adapt to changing environments.D.Animals which live on or inside other host animals.10.Which of the following is TRUE about the dunnock according to the passage?A.It is colour-blind and therefore cannot identify foreign eggs in the nest.B.It can easily remove cuckoo eggs from the nest because fakes are so bad.C.It is a host bird that is more likely to raise a cuckoo chick than the redstart.D.It is unable to evolve and hence accepts cuckoo eggs that appear in the nest.11.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Dunnocks may eventually learn to recognise foreign eggs.B.Redstarts seem to be less suspicious compared to dunnocks.C.Cuckoo birds are good at taking responsibility for their own young.D.It is very easy for cuckoos to imitate the colouring of the dunnocks egg.D Saroo Brierley,a 4-year-old boy,livedin ruralIndia.One day,he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep.When
