The summer sun is out, and we're beginning to feel the heat. Before you go outside to have fun, make sure you put on the right things!
Do you know what kind of clothes can make you look hot and keep you cool? Here are some ideas for clothes to help you look great.
Fun colors and cartoons are back from the 1980s this year; the dirty look is out. People will be looking for fresh bright colors this summer. Girls in pink look cute and sweet. And green makes everyone look more lively. Some of the best colours are cotton candy pink and lime green. These soft colours go well with jeans or just about anything else. As soon as you put on one of these colours, you'll feel like a star!
Some girls like something more interesting than all solid(单一的) colours. For them, there are lots of floral patterns (花卉图案) to choose from in shirts, dresses or skirts. A floral shirt looks nice with a light-coloured solid skirt or trousers.
Of course, jeans are in for boys. If you get too hot, try something lighter, like khaki cargo pants. They'll have enough pockets to keep everything you need for studying, playing and keeping cool! Army green is all the rage(盛行) this year.
【小题1】This passage mainly tells us ____.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will jump back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. We learn how to be brave by taking chances.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

They do not do eye exercises. Yao Suyu said our eye exercises were unfamiliar(不熟悉)to her. “I’d like to introduce them to our school,” she said. “They’re very useful!”
In Singapore school ends at 1:50 p.m. But students joined other classes after school such as dance clubs and choir(合唱团). Yao says she joins dance club twice a week and it lasts from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Singapore’s population(人口)includes Chinese, Indians(印度人), Malays(马来人 )and Westerners. But there is no special school for any one of the groups. The students in Yao’s school are mainly Chinese, Indians and Malays. “The Indian students take Indian language classes when we study Chinese,” said Yao. “But if an Indian student is interested in Chinese, he or she can study it, too.”
In Singaporean schools, teachers teach in English. It’s the official(官方的)language in Singapore. Singaporean students have to take different courses after school. Like most Singaporean students, Yao took other courses in Chinese, math and English.
