25、ing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and

26、 the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the

33、eds if they want to be successful.CSchool uniforms（制服）are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. Thats no surprise，because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling （标记）that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way，they w

34、ill not pay too much attention to their clothing，and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms，but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule wanting to look just like their friends. The differe

35、nce is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers（障碍）; school uniforms tear those barriers down.As in other places，uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example，when a man or woman puts on a police uniform，he or she becomes，for a time，the symbol（

36、象征）of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets.

38、have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While theyre in school，their job is to master reading，writing，and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.56. In Paragraph 1，the w
