No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.
There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no fight to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good quality clothing need not be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive, quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, eat the same types of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?
Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating, and marketing-different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well. Why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industries would founder.
Why does the writer discuss forcing everyone to buy the same car or have the same house?
选项
A、To show that freedom of choice is absolute.
B、To predict the way society will be in the next few decades.
C、To assume what would happen if wearing uniforms became an obligatory.
D、To criticize that the government has interfered too much in people’s daily life.
答案
C
解析
文章第二段第四行、第五行中,作者先提出他人的看法the practice of making persons wear uniforms...eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress...,然后他在对这种观点进行批评的同时,作者指出“强迫每个人穿同样的衣服跟强迫人开同样的车、吃同样的东西距离只是小小一步”,作者打此比喻是为了假设强迫穿制服后,不是没有可能在其他方面也强迫人人一致的。故应选C。
