Everything has its two sides. In fact, students can take much more advantages than disadvantages when they wear uniforms.The advantages of wearing uniforms:Firstly, school uniforms help to eliminate (减少) the different backgrounds (背景) among students. When everyone wears the same clothes in a class, the difference between rich and poor students in appearance will no longer be seen. Secondly, wearing uniforms means the school is safer. Uniforms can help to distinguish the bad people who want to break the peace of education environment and steal the school equipment. Thirdly, the students do not need to waste their time in thinking about what to wear before going to school. They will no longer wonder how to wear in the right fashion trend. The parents also save the money from buying the fashionable clothes for their children because they wear uniforms on most weekdays.Last but not least, uniforms help the student to feel more about their school. Wearing uniforms is one way students show the pride and love for their school. ( )51. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. Wearing school uniforms has both advantages and disadvantages. B.

They seize more rewarding careers, keep good relationships, and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us.So what is the secret? There isnt one. Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop. And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development, we all can learn to become more confident at any age.Try these simple tips for practising and increasing your self-confidence levels:Dare to fail. Anybody whos out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly. If you are not failing, you are not trying. So dont take failure too hard or too personally. Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving.When in doubt, pretend you know what you are doing. Because, if you are confident of your abilities, by the time you have done it, you will be experienced.Dress for success. You dont have to be beautiful to be confident. Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages.Listen to yourself. You are the only person who knows whats right for you. Dont put others opinions above your own inner voice.Build a confident vocabulary. Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses. Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you.Pass on the praise. Praise others for their virtues and strengths. This practice will not decrease your confidence, but help increase it.56. The passage is written mainly _.

Believing in yourselfCA British-designed electronic newspaper made of plastic and no larger than a table mat(垫)is to enter the market next year. The new newspaper was conceived(设想)by Cambridge University scientists. They came up with the idea of replacing silicon chips(硅片)with plastic ones. It is being developed by Plastic Logic, a company based in Dresden, Germany. It looks just like a table mat, and is as light as a magazine. But you can download hundreds of newspapers at the touch of a button, and read them quite safely, the BBC reported on its website. The plastic paper is produced in a safe clean room at the Plastic Logic factory, which opened last month as the worlds first plastic-electronics factory. Every part of the product, from the screen to the electronics, is made of plastic. And it is described by engineer Dean Baker as top quality, as it could help solve the problem of waste associated with traditional newspapers. Theres a huge amount of waste. We have paper distributed(分发)all over the country each day and then thrown into the bin. This doesnt need to happen any more.
