Believe it or not, there are good reasons for wearing a school uniform. It makes you   1__  proud of your school. It builds a common spirit of unity (ÕûÌå) among students and   2   them of the values and history of their school. But for most students, school uniforms are not something to be proud of   3  .

¡°Why   4   the school uniform just one day a week? Always wearing the same clothes makes me feel boring,¡± a senior student from a high school complained (±§Ô¹). ¡°I don¡¯t like the big English letters of the name of our school on the back,¡± said a junior student ¡°They could be   __5  .¡± The main student complaints about school uniforms are: simple colors, boring designs and bad   6  . And a teacher at a middle school in Guangzhou said that   7   a teacher and a mother, she eagerly   8   the quality of school uniforms will be improved soon.

What has caused all these problems? Chen Hong, a uniform designer in Shenzhen, pointed out that problems   9   because the whole society doesn¡¯t see the   10   of the school uniform.

¡°Most designers are  11   to stick to the same old fashion,  12 _ there are no professionals (רҵÈËÔ±)   13   work for students,¡± Chen said.

His company   14   most of the awards in the first national competition for school uniforms last month in Nanning, Guangxi.

¡°Besides, high quality calls for a high price,¡± said Chen. ¡°But in some schools, the annual (Ò»ÄêÒ»¶È) expense for each student¡¯s uniform is only 50 to 60 yuan. How can we produce high quality clothes with so   15   money?¡±

Even with these problems, efforts have been made   16   the situation, according to Zhai Shiliang,   17   of the School Uniform Administration and Service Center in Beijing. A school clothes competition was held in April in Beijing. Thirty-seven uniforms,   18   in schools next spring, were selected from 570. ¡°We will offer the samples (ÑùÆ·) for schools to choose,¡± Zhai said.

¡°The perfect uniform should remind the students of the school¡¯s honor and cause them to be proud of it   19   they are,¡± Chen said. Zhai added, ¡°During the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole world will see the new appearance of our   20   century young generation with new school uniforms.¡±
