Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.\nWhat to do\nIn the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can't go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other _ for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a \"light out\" time. So when it's time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.\nWhat to wear\nNearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.\n _ \nIn the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad , other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following is TRUE according to the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA Only white children were allowed to attend the earliest boarding schools.\nB Students in a boarding school are looked after only after school hours.\nC As students get older, the rules about wearing school uniforms become stricter.\nD Students can have different activities in a boarding school.\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "D" } ]
