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.”

Are you still wishing your friends and partners “Happy New Year”? In the first few days of a new year, we say these three words countless times. The ___16___ is that we say them almost without thinking. The result of such a wish is that it ___17___ its meaning and power.
Last month, I ___18___ Dada J P Vaswani’s first speech after his return from the US. The ___19___ of his speech was “In 2012, all will be fine”. While sharing one of his many ___20___ ideas, he said that while “Happy New Year” is a nice greeting, there’s a more beautiful and encouraging way to ___21___ others—“Happy New You!”
Those three ___22___ words show that New Year is a time to leave behind our ___23___ and step forward. It’s the time to renew ourselves by getting rid of the negative things of the past — ___24___, pain and so on. It’s also the right time to give up thoughts of fear and failure.
For those who are ___25___ what to change, Dada has a simple suggestion: write down all the things that you don’t ___26___ about yourself… every single one. They could be small or big, easy or difficult — ___27___ write them all down. Putting them on ___28___ brings clearness of thought, which is the fi
rst step towards bringing about any chang
e.
So this New Year, let’s wish each other “Happy New You” and then ___29___ that trend all through the year. Each time you wish others, you will be ___30___ not only them but also yourself to leave behind sadness and the past — because it’s time for being Happy and New.

I stepped into my
hotel room which was surrounded by a(n)26 king-size bed, flanked(两侧有)by overstuffed armchairs. “Wow,” I thought to myself. “Nice place.”
I 27 hotels. I love to enter a clean room, look out the window, or walk out in the morning 28 that each afternoon when I return, someone else will have made the bed.
The 29 is that unless Alison travels with me, I never sleep well in hotels. I miss my family. Even though Linus and Camille, aged 4 and almost 2, find a way to interrupt even the 30 night’s sleep at home, still, I’d rather be with them.
I’m deeply 31 by the parents who wake up too late with the realization: “My children grew up too 32 . In the busy and noisy career and life, I 33 their childhood.”
A hundred years from now, nobody will remember the car you drove or the large house you lived. The world might 34 greatly however, based on your 35 on the life of a small child. Your
life will most certainly improve, if you pay attention to your important 36 , and make the choice to put her or him first. What could you do today to let your loved ones know how much they 37 to you? What will you do tomorrow? And the next day?
Think of one specific 38 that you can take, and take it. Challenge yourself
to find new ways to 39 your appreciation and love on a daily basis.
Room service will never kiss you goodnight! Nothing 40 family.

By the third year of teaching I’d begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children. I was teaching fourth grade and my students had made me 16 . I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.
The morning bell rang. I walked 17through the cold into the overly heated school building. Twenty-two smiling faces 18me at the school bus stop. I forced myself to 19their smiles. Back into the classroom, they 20, comparing plans for the 21 . I had to remove one student from each arm 22I could take a seat at my desk for my morning duties. Before I could find my roll book(点名册) my desk was covered with 23and gifts followed by a 24of “Merry Christmas” wishes.
“Oh, thank you,” I must have 25a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my 26mood. It was kind of them to 27me. After a while, I heard a small nervous 28say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing 29by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.”
“Thank you, Sweetheart.” I laid it on my desk with the others.
“Um, could you 30it now?”
I gently tore at the pa
per and tape. “ 31 ,” he said, “it’s breakable.” Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament(装饰物), complete with a hook already 32. It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my 33back.
Later
that day, I sat 34the ornament in my hands. Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I 35pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.
