Firstly, when they go on a school trip they all look the same and so they cant get lost. Secondly, it stops kids worrying about what to wear each day. Everyone is equal. Thirdly, parents dont have to shop for expensive and different clothes for their children to show off. Fourthly, wearing a uniform gives a sense of being proud and discipline(纪律约束) in them.53 .

No! Plants and animals grow and change lives.Many plants begin as seeds. As the seed gets what it needs(water, sunlight, and nutrients from the soil),it begins to grow. The seed turns into a little. It keeps growing until it is a full-grown plant. Then the plant makes new seeds, so that new plants can grow even after the plant grows old and dies. Those seeds will then go through their growth process（过程）.Because seeds go through this process over and over again, it is called a life cycle. Animals also have life cycles. A frog begins as an egg. When the egg hatches, it turns into a tadpole. The tadpoles grow legs and arms, and finally grow into adult frogs. The adult frogs lay eggs, so that new frogs can live even after the frog grows old and dies.A dogs life cycle is a little different than a frogs, because a dog does not start out as an egg. It is born from its mothers belly. The puppy keeps growing and is finally an adult dog. Then the adult dog might have puppies to continue the life cycle! Insects like caterpillars go through life cycles, too. Caterpillars begin as eggs. When they hatch, they are larvae. The caterpillar becomes a pupa, and inside of the pupa it turns into an adult. The adult is not a caterpillar; it is a butterfly! Then the butterfly lays eggs, so that new caterpillars and butterflies can live even after the butterfly grows old and dies.Plants and animals dont stay the same throughout their lives, they grow and change through their life cycle.55 . What do plants begin as?ASeeds.BEggs.CPlants.DTadpoles.56 . Which of the following lay eggs?ATadpoles.BPuppies.CButterflies.DCaterpillars.57 . Wheres a butterfly when it turns into an adult?AIn the water.BInside of the pupa.CIn the soil.DIn its mothers belly.In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The express0ion was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States.“Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers throughout the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.58 .
