Believe it or not, there are good reasons for wearing a school uniform. It makes you   1__  proud of your school. It builds a common spirit of unity (整体) among students and   2   them of the values and history of their school. But for most students, school uniforms are not something to be proud of   3  .

“Why   4   the school uniform just one day a week? Always wearing the same clothes makes me feel boring,” a senior student from a high school complained (抱怨). “I don’t like the big English letters of the name of our school on the back,” said a junior student “They could be   __5  .” The main student complaints about school uniforms are: simple colors, boring designs and bad   6  . And a teacher at a middle school in Guangzhou said that   7   a teacher and a mother, she eagerly   8   the quality of school uniforms will be improved soon.

What has caused all these problems? Chen Hong, a uniform designer in Shenzhen, pointed out that problems   9   because the whole society doesn’t see the   10   of the school uniform.

“Most designers are  11   to stick to the same old fashion,  12 _ there are no professionals (专业人员)   13   work for students,” Chen said.

“Besides, high quality calls for a high price,” said Chen. “But in some schools, the annual (一年一度) expense for each student’s uniform is only 50 to 60 yuan. How can we produce high quality clothes with so   15   money?”

A school clothes competition was held in April in Beijing. Thirty-seven uniforms,   18   in schools next spring, were selected from 570. “We will offer the samples (样品) for schools to choose,” Zhai said.

“The perfect uniform should remind the students of the school’s honor and cause them to be proud of it   19   they are,” Chen said. Zhai added, “During the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole world will see the new appearance of our   20   century young generation with new school uniforms.”

Dear MSN,

I live in San Diego. I’m single and would like to meet people near me. Can I do this on the Internet?

Searching in San Diego

Dear Searching,

On the Internet, you could easily go looking for love in all the wrong places, but here are lots of great ways to meet singles near you.

The Web is a good place to start. MSN also has international sites for Europe, Australia and South America.

There are several California-based MSN web communities where you can meet like-minded people near you as well as city-specific chat rooms for real-time interaction (互动). Hope for some clever friends. What about a little more excitement in your online interactions? Try the “Gaming Zone!”

I also tried MSN Search, looked under the “Personal” heading and found “Relationships”. Clicked on that, then found “Ads & Personals”, by “Region” and found San Diego specific personal from there. Try it!

Also, give “IRC” (Internet Relay Chat) and “Usenet Newsgroups” a shot. Many a net romance has started and then developed in these off-the-Web communities. If you’d rather make friends F2F (face to face), the Web has some helpful dating and redating tips.

1. Searching has written this letter with the purpose of ______________.

2.According to the second letter, MSN has several advantages such as _______________.

3.From the second letter we can infer that MSN treats an ordinary reader so kindly and warmly because _______________.

---Hey! Here is a message on my cell phone, telling me to send money to the bank account…
--Delete it! It's a trick. Many a person ________ by such tricks.
