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 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 tends 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 than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent 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 tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also ex- pensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ______.
选项
A、are usually helpful
B、have little or no individual freedom
C、tend to lose their individuality
D、enjoy greater popularity
答案
C
解析
根据文章第四段第一句"Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.”,可知制服缺乏变化和个性,能使穿着者失去个性,故C 为正确答案。在本题中D 的干扰性最强,但只要考生们考虑到“失去个性”并不意味着“失去个人自由”时,便可顺利地将其排除。
