However, at my age, I'm not sure I have the experience or (33) to start a modeling career. It takes more than a(n) (34) face

16、 to be a model. You must have a(n) (35) personality and always be ready to take risks and explore the unknown. You also need to have near infinite patience. Many people are under the impression that the fashion and modeling industry attracts only very (36) people who only care about themselves. From

17、 what I understand, nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, there are some models who only care about their own appearance, wealth, and (37) surroundings, but the industry isn't (38) composed of this type of person. It's a(n) (39)fact that the fashion and modeling world has a strong (4

19、le inescapable (40) lure lure Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage. The debate over school uniforms is one of the most controversial issues affecting public school students. Though uniforms have long been a staple of private schools, they are still a r

20、arity in public schools. This is not merely a debate over the aesthetics of fashion. Rather, this debate lies at the very heart of the politics of fashion. What students choose to wear (and what their parents allow them to wear) to school consistently rouses strong feelings and animated discussion.

21、Much has already been said in defense of and against school uniforms, and I won't belabor the individual points further. There are many valid points on both sides of the argument. Instead, I intend to explain why I personally stand in opposition to school uniforms and highlight the reasons why u

22、niforms would serve very little purpose in our specific school district. For the most part, students in our district are well behaved and don't approach any semblance of extreme behavior or expression. Administrators seem to be more worried about a potential escalation of student expression that

23、 so far has shown no indication of materializing. Principals and other district administrators are chasing shadowsthey're looking to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Our district has no history of student activism, and there are only a few examples of flagrant violations of the existing d

24、ress code. In short, there is absolutely no precedent to believe that students will choose to begin acting out against authority through fashion statements. School uniforms seem to be an inappropriate response to a nonexistent problem. It is an unnecessary exertion of power by administrators who don

25、't know how to properly exercise authority. Let's take a moment to consider a hypothetical school district that is overwhelmed by student discipline problems. Would the institution of school uniforms be an appropriate response in that case? I would argue in the negative. Uniforms, by themsel

26、ves, would in no way prevent students from expressing themselves or their views. Improper and unpopular behavior will not be stifled by a school uniform. It may actually make the situation worse, as resentment over the mandatory clothing would likely be great. School uniforms obviously interfere wit

27、h students' right to self-expressiona right that should be protected in the public school system. In addition, mandating that all students wear identical (and unattractive) outfits enforces the message that conformity is the preferred method to prevent or resolve conflict. This is certainly not an appropriate message for our schools to be sending to children. 41. This style
