1.Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform. of an elevator operator or the uniform. of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform. tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份)than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.1).It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform. in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform2).People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform. _______.A. suggests quality workB. discards his social identityC. appears to be more practicalD. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes3).The chief function of a uniform. is to _______.A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. make the wearer catch the pubic eyeC. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD. provide the wearer with a professional identity4).According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.A. are usually helpfulB. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individualityD. enjoy greater popularity5).The best title for this passage would be _______.A. Uniforms and SocietyB. The Importance of Wearing a UniformC. Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD. Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

  • 第3题:

    If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men's work and his own among people in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.

    Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!

    1). Huntington based his conclusions on ___________.

    A. work with people in different climates

    B. records of temperature changes

    C. records of change in his own intelligence

    A. a great effect on everyone's intelligence

    B. no effect on people's intelligence

    C. effect on only a few people's intelligence

    D. some effect on most people's intelligence

    3). One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ___________.

    A. there are some things making all nature different from before

    B. it is neither too warm nor too cold

    C. it is more natural for the development of mental abilities

    D. it lasts longer than the other seasons

    A. winter and summer
