Americans are pound of their variety- and individuality(多样性与个性), yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform(制服), 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 dear 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 clothes
B.hold the uniform in such high regard
C.enjoy having a professional identity
D.will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
2. People are used to thinking that a man in uniform________.
A.suggests quality work
B.discards his social identity
C.appears to be more practical
D.looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
3.The chief function of a uniform is to________.
A.provide practical benefits to the wearer
B.make the wearer catch the public eye
C.inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself
D.provide the wearer with a professional identity
4.According to the passage, people wearing uniforms________.
A.are usually helpful
B.have little or no individual freedom
C.tend to lose their individuality
D.enjoy greater popularity

There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared (培养). If an individual is handicapped (妨碍) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
1.This passage can be best titled_________.
A.Intelligence and Environment
B.Measuring Your Intelligence
C.The Case of Peter and Mark
D.How the brain Influences Intelligence
2.According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _____.
A.85 B.125 C.110 D.100
3.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.
A.individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B.an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment
C.changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
D.lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
4.This passage suggests that an individual's I.Q.______.
A.can be increased by education
B.stays the same throughout his life
C.can be predicted at birth
D.is determined by his childhood

Parent fans, both dads and mums, are shaming British football with their bad behaviour. Hundreds of junior soccer matches had to be abandoned last season because parent fans were swearing or even fighting on the touchline. At schools and clubs across the UK, hundreds of more matches also had to be called off for the same reason.
Reports tell of abuse at referees(裁判), players and coaches and fight breaking out on the touchline.
Enough is enough Peter Wright, a keen referee of junior soccer, finally hung up his boots last season. He decided to walk away for good. He said “Every week I have had to take abuse and I’ve had enough of it.”
“Parents’ behaviour is reducing many school teachers, referees, coaches and volunteers to despair.”
The kids are suffering Jim Peter, a referee, said, “We are getting desperate and the kids are suffering.” He described the way spectators(观众)behave as abysmal and getting worse year by year. The big question is why so many parents shame their children in this way. Aggressive Behavior Contracts may have to be introduced to stop the violence and abuse. If not, the game will suffer.
Sign up to good conduct Last season players and parents were made to sign a new good behavior contract. “If a parent breaks the contract, I take his or her child off the pitch and get him or her to explain why I have done so to the child,” said Marc Nash, Wallsend’s assistant leader.
“The next step is to ban both the parent and the child, but happily, so far this has not been necessary.”
1.A number of junior soccer matches were abandoned last season because ________.
A.players abused spectators in the matches |
B.parent fans swore and fought outside the pitch |
C.school teachers persuaded the government to call them off |
D.referees and coaches fought on the touchline |
2.Who’s an assistant leader in the passage?
A.Marc Nash. | B.Jim Peter. | C.Peter Wright. | D.Wallsend. |
3.The underlined word “abysmal” in the passage means ________.
A.extremely bad | B.weak | C.disappointing | D.impolite |
