23、g A, B, C or D. 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 in the United States? Among the arguments for uniform

24、s, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in ci

25、vilian 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(身份) than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save

26、 on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

27、es of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give fire to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their ini

28、tial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. 1.

35、et the right shoe on. The typist cannot hit the fight key. The carpenters hammer misses the nail and hits his finger. Nothing can be done but throw upon ones hands and moan, God, I am all thumbs today. Achilles Heel This is the story-Homer tells in the Iliad. Achilles mother bathed him as a baby in

36、the River Styx to make him immortal, deathless like a god. But she held him by the heel and it didnt get wet. The heel, therefore, was the one spot where Achilles could be hurt, possibly killed.
