T-shirts out; uniforms in
School uniforms(制服) 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 (标记) 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(障碍); 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, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). 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 should 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.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
2.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
3.The author would probably agree that.
A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not
B. students’ individuality may not come from school education
C. students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose
D. school uniforms help to create equality among students
4.School uniforms are becoming more and more popular and important because _____
A. they can stop the powerful social sorting and labeling.
B. if all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing.
C. uniforms can remind the wearers of their purposes and duties

More than half of UK parents believe sunglasses should become an official part of school uniform, a study has found.
A study of 1,000 parents with children aged 4-12 found 72 percent worried about protecting their child's eyes from the sun. However, only 3 in 10 sent their child to school with sunglasses every time it was sunny. One-quarter even said their child was forbidden by their school from wearing sunglasses on school grounds.
A spokesperson for Monkey Monkey Sunglasses, which commissioned (委 托)the study, said, "Parents are consistently telling us that their children are more likely to wear sunglasses on holiday or to leisure activities than at school. We just want parents to be aware that the midday and afternoon sun can be equally strong in the school playground, on the school sports field, or on the walk home from school, as it is on the beach. Wearing hats and staying in the shade during these times help reduce UV exposure, but are not a substitute for wearing sunglasses with full UVA and UVB protection, because UV rays reflect through cloud cover and reflect off a variety of surfaces."
Researchers also found only 16 percent of those polled said their children always wear sunglasses on a sunny day and one in four said their child does not currently own a pair of sunglasses.
Parents of children who rarely or never wear sunglasses said their kids find them uncomfortable to wear and avoid them if they can. However, 57 percent who have bought their children sunglasses checked the glasses for their UV protection rating before making the purchase. When asked about their knowledge surrounding surfaces which reflect and increase UV radiation, 61 percent of parents who took part in the study, correctly said that snow reflected UV rays. One in four identified concrete surfaces and 56 percent pointed to water as a key reflector of UV rays.
Monkey Monkey's spokesperson added, "Estimates suggest that up to 80 percent of a person's lifetime exposure to UV is received before the age of 18, when children's eyes are also not yet fully developed. For these two reasons it is vital to protect young eyes from sun exposure at an early age."
1.According to the passage all the following statements are true EXCEPT that _____.
A.most parents questioned in a survey worried about protecting their child's eyes from the sun
B.some children were not allowed to wear sunglasses on school grounds
C.children were believed to wear sunglasses more often after school
D.parents only 3 in 10 sent their child to school with sunglasses in all kinds of weather
2.What can we infer from the text?
A.All parents prefer to wear sunglasses.
B.The study was carried out for a sunglasses company.
C.Concrete surfaces and water are reflectors of UV rays.
D.Children's eyes are not full-grown before the age of 18.
3.Who may be the target readers of this text?
A.Holiday makers. B.Sunglasses makers.
C.Policy makers. D.Film makers.
4.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Should Sunglasses Be Part of School Uniform?
B.Why Should Parents Buy Sunglasses for Kids?
C.How to Choose Suitable Sunglasses for Kids?
D.New Fashion in School — Sunglasses

Every evening, 15-year-old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her uniform, and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables. Her father is disabled, so the modest profit the two of them earn must cover food, clothing and other necessities for all seven children and their parents. Despite having precious little time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary school. But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future.
Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams. “We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty, their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director.
Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them. Dr. Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams. Participants then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical school and science labs. Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School. Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer.
“When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with Camfed Ghana. “Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages.”
“I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia. For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father’s disability, the experience was important. “She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia. “But at the camp, it was different. She made friends with girls who have similar struggles. She took part in every single activity, every single game. On the last day, she said to her mentor, “The camp has challenged me to study hard. Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
1.How many members are there in Rashida’s family?
A.Seven B.Eight C.Nine D.Ten
2.According to the passage, Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp is________.
A.a program to help poor girls to have ambition
B.a program to help poor girl students to get university education
C.a program to help poor girls to study hard
D.a program to help the poor families
3.Why did the camp lead the students to visit universities and training colleges?
A.To show they are better than their schools
B.To encourage them to get good education.
C.To show them what they are like
D.To get them to touch the advanced equipment there
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Rashida has become friends with her mentors
B.Rashida’s mentors has encouraged her a lot.
C.Rashida was sad because of her father’s disability.
D.Rashida has had her new dream since the camp
5.The best title of the passage is ___________.

高三英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析
No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are controlling the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic(民主的) society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of the whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.
There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence.
Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in school, gets rid of all envy and competition in a matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be looked down upon by a wealthy person who wears expensive clothing. Those persons ignore the concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone struggle to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of food. When this happens, all motivation to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life as they had?
Uniforms also hurt the economy(经济). Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of people are employed in designing, creating, and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Salesmen would be extra as well. Why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a wave effect on such industries as advertising and sales promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. Our entire information and entertainment industries would collapse.
1.Why does the author discuss forcing everyone to buy the same car or eat the same food?
A. To show that freedom of choice is absolute in modern society.
B. To suggest what would happen if uniforms became compulsory.
C. To predict the way the society will be in the next few generations.
D. To show that the government has too much control over people’s lives.
2.The last word of the passage “collapse” probably means ________.
A. fail B. rise C. disappear D. struggle
3.The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage was to ________.
A. show that uniforms are not possible in a democratic society
B. advise the government to change the rules of wearing uniforms
C. advocate stronger governmental controls on the wearing of uniforms
D. convince the reader that uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages
