　　T- uniforms in School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U．S．A．．That's 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 cre 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 children's“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 they're in school, their job is to master reading, writing, this would 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．
In Paragraph 1, the word“benefits”probably means ________．
differences
advantages
From the passage we learn that uniforms in general ________．
prevent the wearers from being laughed at
help the wearers keep their duties in mind
are seen as a symbol of power
help to create social barriers
Some people are against school uniforms because ________．
they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms
they believe that uniforms will make students less creative
they don't agree that uniforms can remove social barriers
they think that school uniforms are too popular

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeabletraits(品质)in the Americans. They show confidence inthe way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way theywalk. Living and competing with all these confidence American students, I findit extremely important to be confident as an international student andinstructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate toraise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mindif it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak inclass at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared forthe discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue-this is thelast comment any graduate would like to receive。&&Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor meanscalmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not getit. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourselfembarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident iswhen my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have givenfor their Speeches。(The course I’m teaching here is PublicSpeaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won’t be of muchhelp here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduateprogram．1.To compete with American students it’s veryimportant toA．be quiteconfidentB．be polite andfriendlyC．have morediscussions with D．understandwhat they think about2.A professor will have the worst opinion of a studentwhoA．gives a sillyor simple answerB．tries toseize any chance to speak in classC．shows nointerest in the courseD．is consideredto have no opinion of his own3.The author is most likely to feel embarrassed ifA．he asks astudent to repeat what he has saidB．the studentsbargain with him C．he pretendsto know what he doesn’t D．he has togive a speech4.We learn from the second paragraph thatA．we shouldalso remain modest in AmericaB．modesty doesn’t help modest in AmericaC．American alsolike modest peopleD．modesty canhelp you through an American graduate program5.What can we infer from the passage?

She has observed that women who have chosen to be childfree often feel the need to profess how much they love and enjoy kids, but that they just don’t want any.
Her question was: “Where are all the women who actually don’t like kids?
I can’t be the only one.”
She went on to say, “There seems to be a belief that not liking kids = bad person. The fact that I have a college degree, have been gainfully employed since high school, volunteer to feed the hungry at Thanksgiving…all of it is brushed aside as meaningless because I don’t like kids.
I also wouldn’t want an elephant, because it doesn’t fit into my lifestyle.”
I’m sure she’s not the only one who doesn’t like kids, either.
I’ve come across a few.
I’ve actually uttered those words myself, usually half-jokingly.
Half-jokingly because there are lots of kids I do like…just not all of them.
Since I don’t really have a strong opinion about this, I thought it would be great for her to write a guest post on this very topic.
Here’s what Nissa has to say:
I recently attended the baby shower of a friend I’ve had for over a decade. As I struggled to smile through the “pass the diaper” game while kids ran in and out of the room, I could see that I was the only one who was uncomfortable. The others cheerfully spoke over the banging of the toys, the shrieking, and the drone of the kids’ video. I had to fight a desire to run to my car and drive to my peaceful post-divorce, childfree home.
This wasn’t always the case. In spite of all the realistic career, financial, environmental and overpopulation reasons to not have children, I grew up thinking I’d be like everyone else.
I did get married. However, when I spent time around my friends’ kids I noticed….it wasn’t fun. I wasn’t having that “oh aren’t they cute” feeling. The feeling I got was, “no thanks, I think I’ll pass” and “how soon can I leave?”
When I mentioned this to people, they comforted me by saying “Oh, just have them – you’ll feel different when they are your own….I hate other people’s kids but I love mine”. Everyone spoke about how wonderful they are – sweet, cute, how everything is new to them, how it makes you appreciate life.
What worried me about this scenario was that babies are permanent. It’s not like a dress that I could return if it just wasn’t working for me. Maybe I just needed to try on a baby before buying?
Being an auntie seemed like a good compromise. You know, enjoy all the good parts and then reap the financial benefits of being childless. So I tried. I spent time with babies, with little kids and bigger kids, with ADD kids and “good kids”.
But the more I tried, the less I enjoyed them. I didn’t find babies cute – they were just uninteresting.
I didn’t enjoy the crying, the smells and the random smears of what might be chocolate or poop. With the older kids, the sweetness that sometimes surfaced was quickly drowned out by the mood swings from happy to angry to tears every 10 minutes. The wonder of all-things-new was swamped by the incessant noise of toys, TV and questions about everything under the sun. Conversations, shopping trips or a visit to the bathroom were punctuated with interruptions, disagreements and whining.
My experiences with other people’s kids proved to me I didn’t enjoy it. I didn’t enjoy being responsible for someone else’s entertainment, feeding needs, bathroom needs and emotional needs. The good parts did not come anywhere near compensating me for what I was giving up to be with them.
In the end, I just didn’t like them.
I far prefer quiet, order and predictability. I enjoy offering my gifts of love, nurturing and compassion to adults, who are often in need of those very gifts.
So technically, children have made me appreciate life…the life I have without them.
Interesting…provocative…well-said.
