Believe it or not, school uniforms are absolutely not only clothes for students. They stand for the culture or beauty appreciation standard of a country. Let's take a look at school uniforms in different nations.

School Uniforms in England

Style of English school uniforms is rather classic, simple and elegant. Boys wear conventional western style clothes, regular leather shoes and must wear neckties. Girls also wear western-style clothes, regular leather shoes and must wear bow-ties. This classic clothing style unconsciously affects English students’ temperament(气质) and also sense of beauty.

School Uniforms in Korea

Do you still remember the classic scenes in My Sassy Girl? If you’ve watched it, you will know how stylish Korean students’ uniforms are. Boys wear nice white shirts and western-style trousers. Girls wear white shirts, lovely skirts of latest design and bow knots.

School Uniforms in Malaysia

Students in Malaysia obey rather strict rules. Girls’ dresses must be long enough to cover the knees. Shirts must cover the elbows. Compared with Thai students, they are much more conservative.

School Uniforms in Japan

For students, school uniforms in Japan are not only symbols for schools, but also symbols

for the current fashion trends, even affecting students when choosing a school. Japanese school uniforms for girls originate in sailor suits. So they are also called sailor suits or sailor uniforms. Cartoon elements are used on them. Japanese school uniforms for boys are classic dark-colored clothes with stand-up collars, similar to Chinese tunic suits. 21.What are the English school uniforms like?

A. Fashionable. B. Conservative. C. Traditional. D. Cute.

22. In which way are Korean and Japanese school uniforms similar?

A. Both of them are fashionable. B. Both of them are eastern-style. C. Both of them are affected by Chinese. D. Both of them are dark-colored.

Every household should have its own economical measures. In our case, it’s a yard sale—the best behavior is recycling. For us, it couldn’t have come at a better time. First, we are broke. Second, we have too many unwanted items in our home.

In fact, Posh once scolded me for selling a Bill Blass tie she bought me as a gift, in tears for the first time since our wedding night. I had to explain that women buy neckties for color, and men buy neckties for the way the material falls nicely against the shirts. It’s one of the fundamental differences between the sexes.

Anyway, we have this yard sale in our front yard, where we unload a lot of junk: bad books, broken toys, half-smoked cigars…

“Dad, you’re always selling objects too cheap,” complained the lovely and patient older daughter, who sits near the cash box, looking very upset. “I’m going back to bed,” she says, and so she does.

She is replaced by the little girl, Mini-Posh. Mini-Posh turns out to be more bored than even

her lovely sister. She yawns a couple of times, and then requires about lunch.

A few minutes later, my young son sells his very first tricycle for $2. Apparently, we’re under-pricing.

“You should ask $20 for those mountain bikes.” suggests one customer, who goes on to tell Posh that for 27 years he and his wife have spent Saturday mornings drinking coffee together, then visiting the yard sales.

“That’s soooo romantic,” Posh says.

In fact, we do very well. In the end, a troop of strangers pay me hundreds of dollars to clean out the house. I also discover what romance really is (visiting yard sales). 24. What do we know about a yard sale?

A. It’s an ideal place for Americans to get gifts. B. It’s for customers and sellers to make crafts together. C. It’s a fashionable event for singles to search for romance. D. It’s about selling unwanted items to people who need them. 25. Why did the author sell the Bill Blass necktie?

A. Because it didn’t match his shirts. B. Because it was a real bargain. C. Because it was already worn out. D. Because it was of poor quality.

26. How do the author’s two daughters feel about the yard sale?

A. They become uninterested in the sale of second-hand goods. B. They are sympathetic to their father who is broke. C. They grow crazy about everything to do with their junk. D. They become angry when their father cheaply sells the items. 27. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Yard sales in the US are no longer popular. B. Rich Americans are trying to collect extra cash.

C. Visiting yard sales is romantic to certain American couples. D. It is pleasant that strangers volunteer to clean your house.
