Nowadays, more and more schools in China make rules making students wear school uniforms to school. Parents and teachers think it will make a better learning environment at school, but some students don’t like their school uniforms. So, what are school uniforms like in other parts of the world?

In Japan, boys in middle school wear uniforms called “gakuran” and they have dark jackets with stand-up collars and pants. Girls, on the other hand, wear uniforms called “sailor fuku”, and they look like European naval(海军) uniforms.

Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms. Boys need to wear long grey or black pants, white shirts and school ties. Girls have the same clothes as boys, but they can wear skirts or summer school dresses during the summer term.

In the UK, uniforms were the custom(习惯) throughout most of the 20th Century, but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms. They think uniforms make students lose their personalities(个性).

For children in many African countries, school uniforms can be a kind of pride, or a huge financial burden(经济负担). Many children have only one uniform, and that may be all the clothes they have.

In a word, love it or hate it, school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world so you’d better enjoy your school uniform and your school life.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正（T）误（F）。

1.The author（作者） introduces school uniforms of different countries to prove(证明) that the school uniforms are very popular at school.

2.In Japan, teenagers all wear uniforms and they look like European naval uniforms.

3.Neither Chinese students nor students in other countries like their school uniforms.

4.In England all the school stop requiring students to wear uniforms because they think uniforms make students lose their personalities.
