In fact, this problem is connected with other topics, such as student performance (表现), money, and personal choice. The school uniform debate is very important to parents, teachers, and school officialsand to students, too! Many students argue (争论) that school uniforms would save their parents money. According to Nahla, an eighth-grader, Kids whose families dont have a lot of money wouldnt be teased for their unfashionable clothes. Besides, some students think that uniforms would help them give much attention to learning. I think its a great idea. Wearing uniforms would teach students that schoolwork is more important than looking good, argues tenth-grader, Heba. Others believe that school uniforms would help students study better. In the words of a twelfth-grader named Aziza, If all students have to wear the same uniform, they will try to impress others with their schoolwork and grades, not their clothes. Some students are against school uniforms. They argue that uniforms would cost their parents more money. Uniforms are expensive and can only be worn at school. My parents would still have to buy me other clothes to wear on weekends and after school, explains ninth-grader, Sherine. According to a twelfth-grader named Susan, School uniforms dont allow personal choice. She feels that uniforms dont allow students to be creative or express their own decisions about what to wear. Finally, many students like eleventh grader Reema say that uniforms are uncomfortable. Students like to wear comfortable clothes, she says. In a word, there are strong arguments on both sides of the school uniform debate. Whatever the result is, one thing is important: before making a decision about whether to require uniforms, school officials must consider the opinions of everyoneespecially the students. （1）Who agrees to wear school uniforms? A . Heba.B . Sherine.C . Susan.D . Reema.（2）Read the sentence: School uniforms cant be worn for long and have to be changed often. We can most probably put this sentence in . A . Paragraph 1.B .
