二、阅读理解。
Grown-ups are always telling kids what to do. Do you listen to them? Usually, they know what is best for you, but sometimes they can be wrong.
So, China has a special law to keep people under 18 safe. It is called the Underage Protection Law（《未成年人保护法》）.
Teachers can punish (惩罚) bad students, but they can not just do anything they like. If a teacher tries to get you out of class, you can go to the headmaster and tell him you have the right to stay in school.
School buildings and playgrounds must also be safe for children. If the things you use in P. E. class are unsafe, the school must fix them or get new ones, according to the Underage Protection Law.
Do you know anyone who can’t go to school because their parents aren’t willing to pay for it? This is also against the law, which says parents must pay for their kids’ education.
Kids have a right to privacy (隐私) under the law, which says parents and teachers can’t read children’s own letters .
The law also protects children’s health. It says there should be no smoking in schools and other places where many teenagers go.
Have you ever wondered (想知道) why tickets for parks and museums are cheaper for students? It’s also because of the Underage Protection Law. It says that kids need to have lots of chances to learn.
