Does your school have any problems with discipline? What happens when students step out of line?

Here are some examples of bad behaviour:

• Playing truant (missing school without permission from parents).

• Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing, running, kissing.

• Cheating on exams.

• Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.

• Not doing homework.

• Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.

• Wearing unsuitable clothes.

Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:

• Exclusion: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.

• Suspension: a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.

• Detention: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they can leave.

• Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”

Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, made the news when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.

Freya says that repeated detentions ruined her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. So she refused to return until the school respected her civil ri ghts. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.

Many UK schools now give parents a home&school contract, explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.

第四部分  写作(共两节, 满分35分)

第一节  阅读表达(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到题后相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

[1]Cold weather is no excuse to avoid outdoor exercise with your dog. Along with making sure you are appropriately dressed, your dog should also be properly protected from it.

[2]Some large breed dogs such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Huskies can stand the colder weather better than others. These dogs may also develop a thicker coat over time as they are exposed to colder weather.

[3]Smaller breeds, ________, like Chihuahuas and Miniature Pinschers, breeds with short coats and puppies should wear some type of protection, i.e., a coat or sweater, if the t emperature drops too low. Look for coats or sweaters with high collars or a turtleneck that covers your dog from the base of the tail on top to the belly underneath.

Other tips

[4]When you bathe your dog, dry him completely before taking him out in the cold weather for a walk or exercise. It is especially important to keep your dog well groomed(打扮)during the winter months to protect him from cold weather.

[5]If your dog frequently participates in outdoor activities during the colder months, increase his food intake, especially protein, to help keep his coat grow thick and healthy. Dogs that are not as active during the winter months may need to have their food consumption reduced.

[6]The amount of time you spend outside with your dog will depend on his size, breed type and age. Remember that ill or elderly dogs are more sensitive to cold weather. Dogs whom cold weather agrees with can spend hours outside without getting cold but some of the smaller and younger dogs’ exercise sessions should be kept shorter. Dogs should not be left outside unattended.

[7]Another activity to consider is doggie daycare, which is an excellent alternative during cold weather months. It’s a great place for your dog to get plenty of physical and mental stimulation while being with other dogs.
