1.Embracing School Uniforms
Where do you stand on the issue of school uniforms? Does the dress code have a direct impact on students' overall performance In the past few decades, many schools have made wearing school uniforms mandatory. Although critics of mandatory uniform policies remain, the evidence of positive effects is substantial. Mandatory school uniforms offer extraordinary benefits to students and school systems including improvements in students' self-esteem, academic performance, and graduation rates.
It has been observed that wearing uniforms boosts students' self-esteem. When everyone wears the same clothing, students from underprivileged families do not stand out from others. No one wears expensive jewelry or designer labels, and no one wears gang colors or other clothing that shows they are part of a special group. Uniforms can enhance students' sense of belonging and increase morale. Meanwhile, peer pressure and competition are reduced. Uniforms help to create unity amid diversity by easing ethnic and cultural tensions and encouraging positive values, such as tolerance and empathy. Uniforms eliminate the pressure to conform and allow students' attention to be directed to learning and growing.

________Mandatory school uniforms can also lead to an increase in students' graduation rates, which would have positive effects on socity as a whole. "Dressed for Success," a pro-uniform editorial, highlights a recent study showing that graduation rates at sixty-four high schools in five cities improved after they implemented mandatory uniform policies. The study found that graduation rates at these schools rose by 10.9 percent in the past decade, while graduation rates at similar high schools without mandatory uniform policies dropped by 4.6 percent. The editorial concludes that, since high school diploma is often seen as a gateway to success beyond the classroom, more diplomas will translate into increased job and training opportunities for young people.
The subject of school uniforms has generated a good deal of controversy. Some see the policies as discouraging free speech and repressing individuality. However, their objections are not persuasive enough. There is convincing evidence that mandatory school uniforms have significant benefits. If such policies are conducive to improving students' self-esteem,
Academic performance, and graduation rates, the policies should be embraced and promoted. After all, the potential for positive changes has proven a big plus.

2.II.Write an outline. (20 points)
Readthe following passage carefully and compose a "Topic Outline" for it.
When to Get Married
Over the past thirty-five years, we havebeen waiting longer before settling down. A study shows that men are gettingmarried for the first time seven years later and women six years later. Thismeans that the average man is aged 32 when he asks "Will you marryme?" and the average woman is 29 when she says "Yes." But isthis trend towards the thirty-something marriage making us happier andmore satisfied? My answer is: The earlier the marriage commitment is, thegreater the chances of a long, happy partnership are .
My past conversations with people whomarried in their twenties show that they often report tough times in theearly stage: living with in-laws, managing financial problems or movingaround the country as one partner gets promoted. Also, couples who marryrelatively early can grow apart, especially when one partner has beensuccessful at work.
However, the greatest threat to thetwenty-something marriage is wondering if they could meet a better personwhen reaching 40. This is particularly dangerous when someone who marriedhis or her first love starts dreaming about what he or she has missed. Theydon't know who they are and what they need from a relationship.
Yet, when faced with forty-somethingcouples in crisis, I always feel more optimistic about the outcome forthose who married in their twenties than those who married in their thirties.Why should this be? If you marry later, you are more likely to bring oldbaggage into your relationship. In some cases, help couples understand theinfluence of a partner from two or three relationships back. For example,to those who once had suspicious partner forever questioning them abouttheir movements an innocent inquiry such as "What time will you beback?" can sound aggressive.
People marrying later may expect more from the relationship. This is becauseone of the best ways of recovering from a failed relationship and startingto look again is to tell oneself: "I deserve better, or "Nexttime I'll meet Mr or Miss Right." There is nothing wrong with thisstrategy. But unfortunately, if the next relationship does not deliver, thebitterness becomes a bit greater and the desire for perfection a bitstronger.
The final issue about getting married atthirty-something is the need to start a family almost immediately. Many coupleshave no time to get to know each other properly or putdown solid rootstogether. If a relationship has been built on long weekend lie-ins and late breakfasts,the demands of small children can be a shock. The couple may, to a largeextent, be deprived of social life. This sense of isolation is worse if thegrandparents are correspondingly older, too, and not fit enough to help.
Although the ultimate decidingfactor in the success of a relationship is the character, determination andgenerosity of each partner(and that is not determined by age), my advice is alwaysto seize the day and commit.
