Once he received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.The childs mother was very much thankful to the doctor, and she visited him to thank him for what he had done for her child. “Doctor,” she said, “you have saved my little son. I dont know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?”“Fifty pounds”, he answered.The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes.

It was about 6,500 kilometers long and went across one-fourth of the planet.The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road.

It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade,knowledge about arts,science and literature,as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way,languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.Today, China is trying to build the 21st Century Marine(海洋的) Silk Road.

They end the powerful social labeling （有力的社会标记）that comes from clothing. If all the 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 “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they dont realize that students already accept a kind of rulewanting to look like just their friends. For students, the school uniforms remind them that their main task in school is to get education.Some parents are unhappy with uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their childrens “creativity”.However, school uniforms that students wear dont necessarily show their individuality (个性). And also the students have the rest days of the week to be as creative as they like. While they are in school, their jobs are to learn reading, writing, math and so on. Mastery (掌握) of those skills will be good for students to build up their creativity in every way.32. From the passage, we can learn that school uniforms can _.A. make students laugh at others.
