Reading comprehensionA. Choose the best answerAmericans are proud of their variety and individuality（个性）, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five­star general. Why are uniforms so popular 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 is likely 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 （身份）than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical good points. They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes.Primary facts among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long­lasting, often their initial 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.69. What surprises us is that Americans ______.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. think highly of uniformsC. Less prefer wearing civilian clothesD. respect a lift operator in uniform70.

Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms ______.A. are usually helpfulB. have little freedomC. lose personal characterD. enjoy greater popularity73. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. people generally trust a person in uniformB. people enjoy wearing comfortable uniformC. the cost of the uniform is acceptable to peopleD. people wear uniforms to show their professions74. The underlined sentence tells us that ______.A. it’s impossible fo r people with jobs to lose their identityB. people’s identity can be recognized more easily by their uniformsC. nurses and policemen must wear uniforms when workingD. people in those professions act in an easier way without uniformsB.
