At the   43   of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to   44   what happened when they told someone they loved them.I fully expected one of the   45   to volunteer, as was usually the   46  , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand.He appeared quite moved and a bit   47  .As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis.I was quite   48   with you last week when you gave us the assignment.I didn’t think that I had   49  to say those words to and   50  , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me.It was telling me that I   51   exactly who I needed to say I love you to.You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated   52   and really never resolved it since that one.We   53   seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.But   54   then, we hardly spoke to each other.So last.Tuesday   55   I got home, I had convinced myself.I was going to tell my father I loved him.”

Americans are proud of their variety- and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

     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.

     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.

【小题1】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

【小题2】 The chief function of a uniform is to ___________.

    A. provide practical benefits to the wearer

    B. make the wearer catch the public eye

    C. inspire the wearer's confidence in himself

    D. provide the wearer with a professional identity

【小题3】 According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _____________.

    A. are usually helpful             B. have little or no individual freedom

    C. tend to lose their individuality   D. enjoy greater popularity

【小题4】The best title for this passage would be ____________.

    A. Uniforms and Society

      B. The Importance of Wearing a Uniform

      C. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform

      D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

        Honesty is one of the most treasured traditional values in China. The children are taught to be honest when they are very young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.

       However, with the development of society, we often hear complaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonesty often appear in the media. For example, some people try to get rich and live a comfortable life. But they do not work hard honestly, instead they cheat others. They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price. Some people's delaying paying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people, including some college students, get loan from the bank, and promise to pay within, say, 3 years. However, they don't do that.

       The dishonest people sometimes can get benefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bring people benefit, while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so? Definitely not. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest. The cheater selling "the treasure" mentioned above will surely be disclosed and punished some day.

       On the contrary, if he had been honest, neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not return money in time will sooner or later become infamous, and will not get the money from others again. If he had acted differently, he would have earned respect and trust, meanwhile, the bank would not have suffered from loss.
