三、篇章結構：    High schools in Taiwan have detailed regulations concerning academic matters,
relations among students and teachers, and obligations pertaining to school life. These are
usually divided into codes for students' uniforms and hairstyles, and rules governing teachers'
guidance and discipline of students. ___16___ For example, some schools still continue
enforcing their own hair codes, such as banning dyed and permed hair, or stipulating a
maximum hair length. Students who contravene the hair code may have a warning or a minor
violation of school regulations entered into their school record.
    Should schools have school rules? Most people believe that communal life requires
norms, regulations, and order. ___17___ That is, it takes rules to shape people. But what
needs to be made clear from the outset is that such rules must take the students' interests into
consideration. Their aim must not be to make teaching or managing students easier or more
convenient, and even less should they aim to further the teachers' authority or the school's
reputation. ___18___ If children are strait-jacketed, how will they ever gain the confidence to
soar when they grow up?
    Are middle school students capable of managing their own lives? In the view of most
adults, teenagers like to get up to mischief. If you type the word "teenager" into an Internet
search engine, you'll find mostly about teenage problems. But is the word "teenager" really
synonymous with "problem"? ___19___ Some students feel embarrassed about the rapid
growth of their figure, and some students feel compelled to talk back, even without a good
reason. It's a time when physiological changes and the search for their own identity make life
very difficult for students.
    Some teachers are very forgiving. ___20___ If adults quit posturing as great figures of
authority and restore some reciprocity to their dealings with kids and teenagers, they will be
in a position to give guidance once a relationship based on mutual trust is established.
(AB) The way schools see it, today's hair codes are much laxer than they were in the past.
(AC) It's commonly said that "It takes a ruler to draw a square, and compasses to make a circle."
(AD) Schools ought to allow young students to explore life and to make their own mistakes.
(AE) One cannot overemphasize the importance of how school regulations should be
implemented.
(BC) During their junior high school years, students experience rapid and violent changes in
body and mind.
(BD) This is a good opportunity for teachers and students to discuss how to create hair and
dress regulations acceptable to everyone.
(BE) In addition to regulations in black and white, some schools would have unwritten rules
to control every aspect of student behavior.
(CD) They think that sometimes kids talk back to teachers and parents not because they really
disagree with them, but because of a sheer feeling of rebellion.
