Nowadays, more and more schools in China have rules making students wear school uniforms to school. A lot of Chinese students complain about{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (wear) their school uniforms every day. But do American students get {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(annoy) about their uniforms, too? American high schools usually have a dress code(衣着标准), {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is about requirements for students' dressing. Boys at school must wear clean jackets every day. Girls are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (luck) than boys, for they have more flexible{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (choose) than boys. They can either dress similarly to the boys {#blank#}6{#/blank#}wear a dress. In general, it takes a student 10-15 minutes every morning {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (dress) up for class. As students do in China, plenty of American students also have their complaints about school uniforms. What if students really dislike the dress code and want to get rid of it? Instead of getting punished, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (actual) there're ways to do that. At my school, "dress down" tickets {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sell) on school days. If students are willing to buy a ticket, they don't need to wear school uniforms the following day. I have a strong  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (believe) that one day Chinese students can buy these tickets, too.

    One Sunday morning in August I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(go) to the local music festival. I left it early because I had an appointment {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(late) that day. My friends walked me to the bus stop and waited with me until the bus arrived.

    I got on the bus and found a seat near the back, and then I noticed a man {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(sit) at the front. He was pretending that a tiger toy was real and giving it a voice. He must be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(mental) disabled. Behind him were other people to whom he was trying to talk, but after some minutes, he walked away and sat near me, looking {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(annoy).

    I didn't want to be laughed at for {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(talk) to him but I didn't like leaving him on his own {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

    After a while I rose from my seat and walked to the front of the bus. I sat next to the man and introduced{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (I).

    We had {#blank#}9{#/blank#}amazing conversation. He got off the bus before me and I felt very happy the rest of the way home.

    I'm glad I made a choice. It made {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of us feel good.

    The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (long) cross-sea bridge, enters the history of human engineering and connection as a point of pride upon {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (it) opening to traffic at 9 a. m. on Oct.24, 2018.

    One day after the opening was announced at a ceremony {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hold) in Zhuhai, the bridge's ports in three different administrative regions started serving travelers around-the-clock, opening 24 hours a day, seven days a week. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ensure) faster boundary crossings for passengers, the Macao and Zhuhai ports jointly use a one-off immigration clearance model, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} allows travelers to queue up only once to finish both exit and entry procedures of the two cities in about 30 {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (second).

    Apart {#blank#}7{#/blank#} private cars, taxis and goods vehicles, two types of public transportation -shuttle bus (班车) and cross-boundary coach—can also run on the HZMB. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} frequency of shuttle buses is about 5-10minutes during peak hours. Booking tickets for the shuttle bus online in advance {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) available since 9 a. m. on Tuesday. With the bridge now in service, the traveling time between Zhuhai and Hong Kong International Airport will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (shorten) from four hours to 45 minutes, and the time between Zhuhai and Hong Kong's Container Terminals will be cut from 3. 5 hours to 75 minutes.
