Americans 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 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 (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher 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 hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity (职业身份) 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 among the argument 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 long-las6ng, 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.
What surprises us is that Americans ______.
选项
A、still judge a man by his clothes
B、think highly of uniforms
C、less prefer wearing civilian clothes
D、respect a lift operator in uniform
答案
B
解析
这道题问的是我们对美国人的哪一点感到惊讶。答案可以从全文的第一句话得出。Americans are proud of their variety and individuality yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform…。美国人为他们的多样化和富有个性而感到骄傲,然而他们对制服却表现出一种对别的事物很少有的喜爱和尊敬。A选项still judge a man by his clothes的意思是“仍然以貌取人”,不符原文意思。B选项think highly of uniforms的意思是“对制服评价高”,与原文意思一致,为正确答案。C选项less prefer wearing civilian clothes的意思是“不太喜欢穿平民的衣服”,也不符合原文意思。D选项respect a lift operator in uniform的意思是“尊敬穿制服的电梯工”,若选此项则犯了理解过窄的错误。
