Crazy­Creative Traditions in Schools
Here are a few schools’ crazy­creative traditions that will probably have you wish to go there so you could celebrate in all the graduation fun. Learn about them all in the below.
Attire(服装) and Flowers at College of Charleston
You fashionista will love this one. During the December ceremony, women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos(无尾礼服). During the May ceremony, women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos. It’s also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage：women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose boutonniere(胸花). So classy!
Hoop Rolling at Wellesley College
This all­women’s college tradition was originally held on May Day, but it’s now held in April. The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors. Back in the day, it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married, and in the 1980s she would be the first to be a CEO. Nowadays, the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness...that is, after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.
Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program at the University of New Hampshire
You’ll absolutely love this tradition. UNH’s vendor provides wrinkle­resistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles. Graduates then have the opportunity to donate their gowns to be cleaned and reused. Graduates are still able to keep their caps and tassels as keepsakes, all while helping to save the environment.
21．If you want to participate in the December ceremony, you can choose ________．
A．College of Charleston　　　　　　　　　　　　　
B．Wellesley College
C．University of New Hampshire
D．Oxford University
22．Hoop Rolling at Wellesley College is aimed at enabling the students to ________．
A．be a CEO
B．have fun
C．achieve happiness
D．be married
23．What are UNH’s caps and gowns made of?
A．Flowers.
B．Silk and cotton.
C．Leather.
D．Recycled plastic bottles.

I was waiting for my train and on the subway station’s floor was a man just sitting there. I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.
He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.
We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man’s knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.
At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.
My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question is—what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?
24．Why was the man sitting on the subway station’s floor?
A．Because he wanted to go home.
B．Because he was seriously ill.
C．Because he was drunk.
D．Because he was waiting for the train.
25．Seeing the money left by the man, the author first felt ________．
A．ashamed
B．grateful
C．delighted
D．frustrated
26．How will the author possibly deal with the money?
A．Give it back.
B．Buy something favorite.
C．Leave it on the seat.
D．Give it to people in need.
27．What can we infer from the passage?
A．I helped the man the moment I saw him.
B．I accompanied the man to take the stairs.
C．I thought it unsafe to go alone with the drunken man at first.
D．A young woman ran after me and gave me the note.

Young trees don’t just grow；they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it.They also help each other out whenever there’s trouble.
Personality, just as among people, varies among trees.Some are anxious, some bold.On the author’s land, there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can’t be the explanation.So what’s happening？Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients.However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.
Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes.A tree, for example，keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again.This leads to several other conclusions：trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere.Obviously, trees don’t have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.
But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves.They also support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump.Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil.But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living.How was this possible？Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years!
Why do trees do_such_a_thing？It’s simple: it’s better together.Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.
28．Why does the author mention the three oak trees?
A．To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.
B．To show trees can make independent decisions.
C．To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.
D．To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.
29．According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees?
A．Anxious and bold.
B．Smart and adventurous.
C．Helpful and well­behaved.
D．Adaptable and supportive.
30．What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?
A．Give warnings.
B．Offer assistance.
C．Depend on others.
D．Provide nutrients.
31．Where does this text most probably come from?
A．A public lecture.
B．A science book.
C．An experiment report.
D．A travel journal.

As evolution tends to remove waste, how come we evolved such large, energy­consuming brains? The dominant hypothesis(假设) suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force. But our new study done in an unusual way shows that human brain expansion is likely driven by ecology(生态)．
Scientists have tested the ecological and social hypotheses before. The common approach is to look at many species and investigate whether large brains are associated with specific problems. For example, do primates or other animals with large brains have a diet that is challenging to find but nutritionally rewarding? This would indicate an ecological origin. Or do they live in large groups where they face lots of social problems?
While many studies have found such associations, there is a problem. It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.
To find out the causes of brain expansion, we recreated the scenarios(情景) of the two hypotheses using a mathematical model. We found that a combination of ecological and social challenges does produce the brain size we see in humans. But it was ecological challenges that expanded brains. In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size. But you need both factors to get the brain size we see today—if there were no social challenges our brains would have been even larger but likely poorly suited to social life. Bigger isn’t necessarily better.
But many animals face hard ecological problems. Why don’t they all have large brains? We found that ecological problems only lead to human­sized brains when individuals can keep learning hard skills as they grow. So our results and those of others’ suggest that hard ecology and the accumulation of cultural knowledge could act together to produce a human­sized brain.
Will the human brain expand further? The complexity of the systems involved makes it impossible to say much with certainty at present.
32．In most people’s view, what makes human evolve large brains?
A．Social challenges.
B．Social and ecological challenges.
C．Ecological challenges.
D．Competition with other large animals.
33．What’s the problem of the common approach?
A．Its model is not reliable enough.
B．It doesn’t tell the cause and effect clearly.
C．Its hypothesis cannot be proved effectively.
D．It doesn’t find brain size is connected with problems.
34．Why don’t many animals have large brains?
A．They don’t learn from each other.
B．They don’t face hard ecological problems.
C．They don’t need to cooperate with each other.
D．They don’t keep learning tough skills as they grow.
35．Which of the following do the researchers find most surprising?
A．Animals don’t have large brains.
B．Social challenges decrease brain size.
C．Ecological challenges increase brain size.
D．It’s unclear whether human brains will expand further.
