Americans are pound 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 t
2、he 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 superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to
3、 inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform.

4、nefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible（可减税的）. 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
5、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.
6、Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes.

American society is not nap（午睡）-friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University
11、of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “Theres even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep.” Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.” Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work
12、 is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping”, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research. Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as t
13、he national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze（打瞌睡）
14、every afternoon. About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.

Clearly, we were born to nap. We S

I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums. 1). It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is _. A. unreasonable B. criminal C. harmful D. costly 满分：2 分 2). The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans _
