I think uniforms are demeaning 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 the 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 large, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual oneself?
Others say wearing uniforms eliminates all envy and competition, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality 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 type of food. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their 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. 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. Our entire information and entertainment industries would founder.
The last word of the passage "founder" probably means______.
选项
A、collapse
B、shrink
C、disappear
D、establish
答案
A
解析
词汇猜测题。由文中“Without advertising,newspapers,magazines,andtelevision would not be able to remain in business.Our entire information andentertainment industries would founder.”可知:没有了广告,新闻、报纸、杂志和电视行业都将停产。整个的信息和娱乐行业都将瘫痪。故答案为A。
