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.
It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
选项
A、people generally trust a person in uniform
B、people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform
C、the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people
D、people wear uniforms to show their professions
答案
A
解析
这道题要求根据本文内容做出结论。第一段的第五、六两句话引用的两个例子 The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes和Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform说明了A选项people generally trust a person in uniform“人们一般会信任穿制服的人”是正确答案。B选项people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform的意思是“人们喜爱穿舒适的制服”。C选项the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people的意思是“人们认为制服的价钱可接受”。D选项people wear uniforms to show their professions的意思是“人们穿制服是为了显示其职业”。都与原文的主要意思不符,不能入选。
