Yes — Advice is helpful.
Parents can help yu chse the right clthes because they have mre 56 . It’s part f their jb — like making sure yu eat a healthy diet. As they are usually paying, it makes sense that parents have a say.

Blue calic (印花布) appeared in the Han and Jin dynasties, develped in the Sng and Yuan dynasties, and flurished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the 1980s, wmen in the Jiangnan cuntryside liked t wear blue calic clthes, fr they were nt nly beautiful but als cmfrtable fr wrking in rice fields. Last mnth, students in schl gt the chance t see and learn abut these 85 clthes.
The “explratin f ld Chinese cstumes” class n Nv 8 at Nanjing Freign Language Schl went deep int learning abut blue calic. The students met the 86 f making their wn bags thrugh tie-dyeing (扎染). It is a dyeing skill used t make blue calic.
“First, fld the clth bag the way yu like,” said he, a grade 8 student. “Then use rubber bands (橡皮筋) t hld it. Next, 87 blue dye which is made frm the leaves f the indig plant, t the water. Push the bag dwn well s the clrs g thrugh. Then wait. An hur later, wash it a few times with clean water t 88 extra dye.”
“Tie-dyeing is a magical art. Everyne des it a bit 89 . Yu never knw exactly hw it will lk in the end because it depends n hw the rubber bands are held. It’s amazing and attractive.” said Ma Qianyu, a grade 8 student, happy with her wrk. “The dye and cttn material all cme frm 90 and peple make blue calic all by hand.

Exams help teachers see what kids knw, but sme say it’s time t stp the clck
Students in the US are regularly tested n their knwledge f class materials, frm midterms t finals. Traditinally, educatrs have put time limits n tests 91 they believe it’s fair t give mst students the same amunt f time, and they als think students wh really knw the material shuld be able t answer all the questins during that time. Studies have shwn, hwever, that the 92 t take a test quickly desn’t reflect (反映) a student’s intelligence r knwledge f the material. Timed tests simply favur (有利于) students wh can think under pressure. What d yu think? Shuld we get rid f timed tests?
Yes—having a time limit n tests can be unfair
Time limits n tests give an advantage t students wh can think quickly and stay calm. That has 93 t d with hw much they knw r hw much they’ve studied. Many students, including peple with learning difficulties, need mre time t fcus n their thughts. They can get stressed and anxius (焦虑的) and even have truble sleeping the night befre a test, which will affect their perfrmance. Nt everyne can express his ideas r knwledge while the clck is ticking. Studies shw that when students have time t fcus n the questins, they give mre thughtful answers and 94 remember the material better.
N—it’s imprtant t have time limits n tests
Giving students the same test with the same time limit is a fair way t test and cmpare their knwledge and abilities. While sme students may need extra time due t specific needs, nt everyne des. 95 there is a time limit fr students t finish a test, they wn’t learn hw t manage their time r decide hw much time t spend n each questin. Time limits encurage students t trust their knwledge, make decisins and mve frward, which helps build 96 .
Learning t wrk efficiently and quickly is als imprtant in the real wrld, including in the wrkplace.
