Thats 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 childrens “creativity.” First, as noted above, 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 theyre 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.56. In Paragraph 1, the word “benefits” probably means .A. tasks B. messages C. differences D. advantages57. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general .A. prevent the wearers from being laughed atB. help the wearers keep their duties in mindC. are seen as a symbol of powerD. help to create social barriers58. Some people are against school uniforms because .A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniformsB. they believe that uniforms will make students less creativeC. they dont agree that uniforms can remove social barriersD. they think that school uniforms are too popular59. The author would probably agree that .A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or notB. students individuality may not come from school educationC. students creativity is related to the clothes they chooseD. school uniforms help to create equality among students60. 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 D. school uniforms will affect their childrens creativity.BOn a cold winter morning in the late 1930s, Bobby awoke early. It was a day that Bobby would never forget. Bobby, his brother and his mother were once again abandoned(抛弃) by his father. When times got hard, the man left home. Bobby wasnt surprised. He must take the responsibility for caring for his family. He put on the warmest clothes he had and pulled on his old socks and torn shoes. After thinking of a way to keep his feet dry, he went outside looking for work.Coming across some men working on the road, he joined in and worked hard for hours. Suddenly, rain poured down. “Go home and get out of this weather,” the men shouted, giving him a few coins.Bobby used the money to buy as much food as he could afford in the nearest store. While holding a small bag of food ,Bobby stopped to adjust(调整) the thick paper in his shoes.A man, who was a member of the Salvation Army, saw Bobbys problem. He bought Bobby a new pair of shoes.I wasnt there on that cold day. But Ive heard the story many times and can always imagine my father, as a child, dancing and wearing a pair of new shoes home.Several years later, Bobby joined the navy. He continued to support his family and meanwhile worked for the Salvation Army so that another little boy somewhere might receive a new pair of shoes for Christmas.The tradition lasted until my father became too ill.

When snow covers everything around you , the world looks like a “Winter Wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter.
