Believe it or not, there are good reasons for wearing a school uniform. It makes you 1__ proud of your school. It builds a common spirit of unity (整体) among students and 2 them of the values and history of their school. But for most students, school uniforms are not something to be proud of 3 .
“Why 4 the school uniform just one day a week? Always wearing the same clothes makes me feel boring,” a senior student from a high school complained (抱怨). “I don’t like the big English letters of the name of our school on the back,” said a junior student “They could be __5 .” The main student complaints about school uniforms are: simple colors, boring designs and bad 6 . And a teacher at a middle school in Guangzhou said that 7 a teacher and a mother, she eagerly 8 the quality of school uniforms will be improved soon.
What has caused all these problems? Chen Hong, a uniform designer in Shenzhen, pointed out that problems 9 because the whole society doesn’t see the 10 of the school uniform.
“Most designers are 11 to stick to the same old fashion, 12 _ there are no professionals (专业人员) 13 work for students,” Chen said.
His company 14 most of the awards in the first national competition for school uniforms last month in Nanning, Guangxi.
“Besides, high quality calls for a high price,” said Chen. “But in some schools, the annual (一年一度) expense for each student’s uniform is only 50 to 60 yuan. How can we produce high quality clothes with so 15 money?”
Even with these problems, efforts have been made 16 the situation, according to Zhai Shiliang, 17 of the School Uniform Administration and Service Center in Beijing. A school clothes competition was held in April in Beijing. Thirty-seven uniforms, 18 in schools next spring, were selected from 570. “We will offer the samples (样品) for schools to choose,” Zhai said.
“The perfect uniform should remind the students of the school’s honor and cause them to be proud of it 19 they are,” Chen said. Zhai added, “During the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole world will see the new appearance of our 20 century young generation with new school uniforms.”

Shaping a child is like shaping clay（粘土）— you have to start from the beginning and work your way to the end with extreme caution but with gentle and loving 16 . However, unlike clay, you don’t get a second 17 with a child. You can put all the clay back together and start again but with a child, what is done is done. 18 it’s even more caution with care.

If another child 22 your kid, everyone laughed and you told your son to 23 it, that’s the first wrong step. You have to teach your child to 24 up for himself. Don’t let your child fall down inside. Tell him to ask the child why he is hitting him or 25 to the nearest adult he can reach.
Most of all before you speak to a child you have to be a 26 example. If you go around laughing at people, your kids will do the 27 . If you are a coward（懦夫）yourself and do not stand up to situations, do not 28 your child not to follow you.
