Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. Why are uniforms so      in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one is that in most people’s eyes they look more professional than civilian clothes. A television repairman who appears in a uniform inspires more trust than one who doesn’t. Faith in the skill of a mechanic is      by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, or a barber to lose professional     than stepping out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical       . They save on other clothes and laundry bills. They are often more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments      uniforms is their lack of individuality. While 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     , on the job at least.
Uniforms also      practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial cost is greater. Some uniforms are also     to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning   rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

To stress his point he turned to another guest, "You're a teacher, Bonnie. What do you 28 ?"
Bonnie, who had a reputation for 29 and frankness, replied, "You want to know what I make?” She 30 for a second and then began.

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable 26 when I was teaching second 27   10 years ago.
In May I decided to plan something special for the children：a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to   28   ideas of how to    29   our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised but   30   to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I   31   invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child   32   up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom.   33 it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking   34
I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was   35   if you could keep my mother 36   while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy   37 my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   38   the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep   39 .
Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s   40   and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if 41    was completed. When I came   42   Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and   43   his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t   44    it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had   45   stopped hugging teachers years ago.
