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 a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing anyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one's life is removed. Why would parents bother to work so 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 that they had?
Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous 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 ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.
What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Wearing uniforms has both advantages and disadvantages.
B.Wearing uniforms should be promoted strongly.
C.Wearing uniforms will destroy economy.
D.Wearing uniforms have many negative effects.

When Dreiser is gone, men shall write books. Many of them, in the books, shall write there will be so many of the qualities Dreiser lacks. The new, the younger man shall have a sense of humor, and everyone knows Dreiser has no sense of humor. More than that, American prose writers shall have grace, lightness of touch, a dream of beauty breaking through the husks of life.
Of those who follow him shall have many things that Dreiser does not have. That is a part of the wonder and beauty of Theodore Dreiser, the things that others shall have because of him,
Long ago, when Dreiser was an editor of the Delineator, he went one day, with a woman friend, to visit an orphan asylum. The woman once told me the story of that afternoon in the big, ugly gray building, Dreiser folding and refolding his pocket handkerchief and watching the children — all in their little uniforms, trooping in.
"The tears ran down his cheeks and he shook his head", the woman said, and that is a real picture of Theodore Dreiser. He is old in spirit and does not know what to do with life, so he tells about it as he sees it, simply and honestly. The tears run down his cheeks and he folds and refolds the pocket-handkerchief and shakes his head.
Heavy, heavy, the feet of Theodore. How easy to pick some of his books to pieces, to laugh at him for so much of his heavy prose.
The feet of Theodore are making a path, the heavy brutal feet. They are tramping through the wilderness of lies, making a path. Presently the path will be a street, with great arches overhead and delicately carved spires piercing the sky. Along the street will run children, shouting, "Look at me. See what I and my fellows of the new day have done" — forgetting the heavy feet of Dreiser.
The follows of the inkpots, the prose writers in America who follow Dreiser, will have much to do that has never done. Their road is long but, because of him, those who follow will never have to face the road through the wilderness of Puritan denial, the road that Dreiser faced alone.
Heavy, heavy, hangs over the head.
Fine, or superfine?
When Dresier went to visit an orphan asylum, ______.
A.he folded and refolded the pocket-handkerchief
B.he felt pity for the children there
C.his tears ran down
D.All of the above.

Kroc found out that two brothers owned the business. They were called Mac and Dick McDonald. He suggested that they should set up more restaurants, but the brothers were happy with their life, and they themselves did not want to. However, they let Kroc set up other restaurants for them. That was the start of the biggest fast food company. In 1955, Kroc opened his first McDonald's near Chicago. Four years later, the 100th McDonald's was opened. In 1961 Kroc bought all rights(权利)to McDonald's from Mac and Dick. By 1972, a new McDonald's was opened every day. By 1974, there were over 3,000 McDonald's around the world.

Uniforms aim have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible. 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 expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
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

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.

Selmer
At 21, Ricardo Semler became boss of his father"s business in Brazil, Semco, which sold parts for ships. Semler Junior worked like a madman, from 7:30 am, until midnight every day. One afternoon, while touring a factory in New York, he collapsed. The doctor who treated him said,"There"s nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you"ll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the ways his employees worked too.
He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries, and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary, like receptionists and secretaries. 46_______ "Everyone at Semco, even top managers, meets guests in reception, does the photocopying, sends faxes, types letters and dials the phone."
He completely reorganized the office: instead of walls, they have plants at Semco, so bosses can"t shut themselves away from everyone else. 47_______ As for uniforms, some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.
Semler says, "We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour. He doesn"t even pretend to be busy. But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea. Rubin springs into action. 48_______ That"s when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn"t look busy the rest of the time."
Semco has flexible working hours: the employees decide when they need to arrive at work.
49_______ It sounds perfect, but does it work? The answer is in the numbers: in the last six years, Semco"s revenues have gone from $35 million to $212 million. The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3,000. Why? Semler says it"s because of "peer pressure". Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else. 50_______ In other words, Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like adults. And they do.
