  T-shirts out; uniforms in School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A..That's no surprise, because they offer many benefits.

  They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling(標(biāo)記)that come from clothing.If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the“wrong”clothes.

  Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule-wanting to look just like their friends.The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down.

  As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties.For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the symbol(象征)of law and order.The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets.People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another.For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.

  Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children's“creativity”.First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality(個(gè)性).They just copy their classmates.Second, students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like.While they're in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and maths; this would take up all the creativity they have.Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.

(1)

In Paragraph 1, the word“benefits”probably means ________.

[  ]

A.

tasks

B.

messages

C.

differences

D.

advantages

(2)

From the passage we learn that uniforms in general ________.

[  ]

A.

prevent the wearers from being laughed at

B.

help the wearers keep their duties in mind

C.

are seen as a symbol of power

D.

help to create social barriers

(3)

Some people are against school uniforms because ________.

[  ]

A.

they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms

B.

they believe that uniforms will make students less creative

C.

they don't agree that uniforms can remove social barriers

D.

they think that school uniforms are too popular

答案:1.D;2.B;3.B;

She wanted to switch the oven off at 7: 30 but she was practicing the cello, and it wasn't until 8 o'clock that she suddenly realized: she had forgotten her TV dinner ! She rushed into the kitchen, but it was too late- everything was black.

  

    On Tuesday she offered to clean up the apartment for her parents. After she had vacuumed the carpets, she threw away a pile of old newspapers and computer magazines. The next day, dad asked where they were. He wanted to cut our an article he had seen in one of the computer magazines, and he was furious when he found out that Sarah had thrown them away. On Wednesday she took Foxy for a walk in the park and lost him. She looked for him everywhere, but he had disappeared. The stupid dog came back later, but that was after Mrs Rosenbaum had telephoned nearly everybody in the neighborhood.

  

    Thursday went all right until the evening. Sarah put the dirty things in the dish-washer and switched it on, but when she emptied it later, two of the glasses she had put in were broken. Her mom wasn't very pleased because she always washed the good glasses by hand.

  

    Now it was Friday, and Sarah wanted to go the hamburger drive-in with Nacy, Bob and Mike that evening. But she had already spent her pocket money.

    Jean burst out laughing.   
       "What's so funny?" asked Barbara.     Finally, Jean managed to say, "Oh, Barbara, I didn't mean for you   to freeze the film. I just wanted you to hold it for me!"
