问题     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.
People are likely to think that a man in uniform ______.
选项 A、suggests quality work
B、shows his social position
C、appears to be more practical
D、looks more fresh and attractive
答案A
解析 这道题问的是人们对穿制服的人的看法。A选项suggests quality work的意思是“暗示了高质量的工作”。第一段的第四句话People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform的意思是“人们习惯于期待穿制服的人有更高的工作质量”，这句活可以作为选择A的依据。B选项shows his social position的意思是“表明了他的社会地位”。C选项appears to be more practical的意思是“看上去更加实际”。D选项looks more fresh． and attractive的意思是“看上去更有活力，更有吸引力”。这三项文中都未提及。
