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 an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though 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 similarly, on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also ex- pensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. [br] The chief function of a uniform is to ______.
选项
A、provide practical benefits to the wearer
B、make the wearer catch the public eye
C、inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself
D、provide the wearer with a professional identity
答案
D
解析
根据文章第二段最后一句"What easier way is there for a nurse,a policeman,a barber,or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?(对一名护士、一名理发师或一位侍者而言,没什么方法比脱下制服让他们失去职业身份更为便利的了。)”,不难逆向推理出制服的主要功能就是维护职业身份,故D 为正确答案。
