       In nineteen ninety-nine, twelve percent of public elementary schools in the United States required students to wear uniforms. Just three years later, estimates were almost double that.

       A study of six big-city Ohio public schools showed students who were required to wear uniforms had improved graduation, behavior and attendance rates. Academic performance was unchanged.

       Some middle and high schools in Texas have also joined the movement. Yet studies find mixed results from requiring uniforms. And some schools have turned away from such policies.

       Supporters believe dressing the same creates a better learning environment and safer schools. The school district in Long Beach, California, was the first in the country to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools. The example helped build national interest in uniforms as a way to deal with school violence and improve learning.

       Findings in Long Beach suggested that the policy resulted in fewer behavior problems and better attendance. But researcher Viktoria Stamison, who has looked at those findings, says they were based only on opinions about the effects of uniforms.

       She says other steps taken at the same time to improve schools in Long Beach and statewide could have influenced the findings. The district increased punishments for misbehavior. And California passed a law to reduce class sizes.

       In Florida, for example, researcher Sharon Pate found that uniforms seemed to improve behavior and reduce violence. In Texas, Eloise Hughes found fewer discipline problems among students required to wear uniforms, but no effect on attendance.

       Sociologist David Brunsma has studied school uniform policies since nineteen ninety-eight. He collected the reports in the book. In his own study, he found that reading and mathematics performance dropped after a school in rural Pennsylvania required uniforms.

       Political and community pressures may persuade schools to go to uniforms to improve learning. But David Brunsma and others believe there is not enough evidence of a direct relationship. In fact, he says requiring uniforms may even increase discipline problems.

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7%. So, while your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying…

    Arms.  71  If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way.  72  If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy.

       Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are monitor in class, you can take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously.   73 

       Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still.

       Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself.  74  This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

       Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse (皺攏) your lips. You might also use this position to hold back all angry comment you don’t wish to show.    

  75  .

A.If you are feeling down, you normally don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards.

B.If you are pleased, you usually open your eyes wide and people can notice this.

C.Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies.

D.How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet.

E.However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.

F.However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.

G.Don’t say too much when you’re happy.
