39、m the restrictions of child labor laws until he can join the army 89 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

40、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 clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends

41、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 than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical ben

42、efits. 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 mus

Some uniforms are also ex- pensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. 90 It is surprising that Americans who wo

47、ence in himself （ D） provide the wearer with a professional identity 93 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 94 The best title for this passage would

48、 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 94 Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of th

49、e human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.
