Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular there?

    Among the arguments for uniforms is that most uniforms look more {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (profession) than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People expect superior quality from a man {#blank#}3{#/blank#} wears a uniform. The television repairman wearing a uniform tends {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (inspire) more trust. Faith {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the skill of a garage worker is increased by a uniform. Uniforms also have many practical {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (benefit). They save on other clothes and laundry bills. They are  often {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (comfortable) than civilian clothes. Among the arguments against uniforms {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) their lack of variety and the loss of individuality. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular typeis generally stuck with it, without change. When people look alike, they will think, speak, and act {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (similar).

    I wonder {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is because I haven't been able to be outdoors for so long {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I have grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(myself) spellbound. That {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(change) since I was there. For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake {#blank#}6{#/blank#} purpose until half past eleven in order {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(have) a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave for too much light, I didn't dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs until the window had to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(shut). The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(entire) in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(see) the night face to face.

    A boy trembled in the cold winter, wrapping his arms wound {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(he) on a bus stop bench. He wasn't wearing warm clothes and the temperature was -10℃.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a heartbreaking scene it was! But the good deeds of the ordinary people {#blank#}3{#/blank#}witnessed the 11-year-old Johannes were both joyous and inspiring. A woman, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sit) next to the boy, discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (selfless) covered his shoulders with her own coat.{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (late), another woman at first gave him her scarf, and then wrapped him in her large jacket. Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johannes their gloves and even the coats off their backs.

    Actually, it was a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hide) camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children's Village as part of their winter campaign to collect {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (donate) to help Syrian children get through the winter. Synne Ronning, the information head of the organization, also {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（note） that the child was a volunteer who was never {#blank#}10{#/blank#}any danger during the filming.

    Online shopping is coming into fashion in most cities, where people are able to make full use of the rapidly-developed internet technology. Nowadays, can we find a person {#blank#}1{#/blank#}has not experienced online shopping? Definitely not.

    Online shopping {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(welcome) by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumers, it can save some time for people who don't have much spare time. Just click the mouse, and they can get whatever they want while staying at home. For the retailers, it can cut some costs for those who don't have much circulating funds.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(compare) with the traditional trade mode, they don't have to spend money in renting a house. However, there are still some {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(disadvantage) in online shopping. First, a face-to-face deal makes online shopping less {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(rely) and trustworthy. Second, people will lose {#blank#}6{#/blank#}fun of bargain.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}is undeniable that shopping on the Internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society. It's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(true) urgent that we need to make the relative laws {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and convenience of online shopping without the concern of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(cheat).

    Today I will share a true story about an overseas student {#blank#}1{#/blank#}studied in Germany.

    After years of hard work, this student graduated with{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(amaze) achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(easy) and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}interview! It was the third time that he{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(refuse), he couldn't help{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (telephone) the company to ask why they didn't want him. The answer was simple. "We don't offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany."

    You might wonder what was wrong. The truth is, shortly after he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(arrive) in Germany, this clever student found that{#blank#}8{#/blank#}was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many times.

    From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits（好处）in dishonest ways, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the truth will come out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember that{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(honest) may lead to failure. We must be honest. It is a rule.
