School Uniforms not Cool Enough?

　　Believe it or not, there are good reasons for wearing a school uniform．It makes you feel proud of your school．It builds a common spirit of unity among students and reminds them of the values and history of their school．But for most students, school uniforms are not something to be proud of at all．

　　The main student complaints about school uniforms are：simple colors, boring designs and bad quality．And Huang Xiuzhen, a teacher at Conghua Middle School in Guangzhou, said that as a teacher and a mother, she eagerly hopes 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 arise because the whole society doesn't see the importance of the school uniform．

　　"Most designers are likely to stick to the same old fashion, because there are no professionals(专业人员)of that work for students," Chen said．

　　"Besides, high quality calls for a high price," said Chen, "But in some schools, the annual expense for each student's uniform is only 50 to 60 yuan．"

　　"How can we produce high quality clothes with so little money?"

　　Even with these problems, efforts have been made to change the situation．A school clothes competition was held in April in Beijing．Thirty-seven uniforms, to be seen in schools next spring, were selected from 570．"We will offer the samples(样品)for schools to choose．" Zhai said．

　　Yet the Spirit Clothes Co．Ltd thinks that the most important thing is that each school has a different uniform．This makes each school unique(独一无二)．

　　"The perfect uniform should remind the students of the school's honor and cause them to be proud of it whenever and wherever they are．" Chen said．

　　Zhai added, "During the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole world will see the new appearance of our 21st century's young generation with new school uniforms．"

　There is a story of a country where the rate of inflation（通货膨胀率）is so high that clever people pay for a taxi ride before the trip instead of after. This story may or may not be true. But inflation was almost that serious in Germany from July 1920 until December 1923. Prices went up so fast that by the end of 1923 they were 50 billion percent higher－a rise of almost 25000 / 40 a month.

　　There was so much paper money, and it had so little value, that people carried bags full of money around to pay for things. One woman told the story of standing outside a shop with a basket full of 500 000 mark notes（马克）. She wanted to buy just one piece of meat, and she hoped she had enough money. But when she was looking, a thief robbed（抢夺） her. He didn't take her money, though, he threw it away and took the basket in stead.

　　At first workers demanded to be paid every day. But as the situation be came worse, they had to be paid twice a day. But they had to run out and spend the money at once, or it would lose its value. People bought anything that was for sale, but food was almost impossible to find. Farm workers re fused to take money. They wanted to be paid in potatoes instead.

　　New policies（政策）ended the inflation in 1923, when the government introduced a new money. But about half of the German people lost every thing in those three and a half years.

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.

“Mom, come here! There’s this lady here my size!”

The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize.

I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, Mickey, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?”

He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”

“Yes, I have a son,” I answered.

“Why are you so little?” he asked.

“It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand and left.

My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.

It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids laughed at me.. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.

But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.

I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have---a great family, nice friends.”

It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
