meant.?In?the?balances?of?justice?and?fairness,?he?had?done?nothing?to?deserve?the?sacrifice?and?attention?from?his

as?all?students?are?wearing?the?same?styles?and?colors.?For?the?same?reason,?the?issue?of?students?using?clothing?as
a??status??symbol??is??less??of??a??problem,??and??the??uniforms??foster??a??more??business-like??approach??to??academics??and
community?identity?and?school?spirit.?Once?the?number?of?outsiders?walking?into?our?grounds?increases,?the?school
uniforms?can?ensure?that?these?trespassers?are?quickly?and?easily?identified?by?staff.

fights??dropped??51??percent??and??sexual??offenses??decreased??74??percent.??Research??is??mixed,??however,??on??whether
uniforms??improve??academic??performance,??according??to??an??article??on??one??website.??In??one??study??at??Youngstown
University,??researchers??found??uniforms??improved??attendance??and??graduation??rates??while??decreasing??suspension
rates.??The??study??didn’t??show??any??improvement??in??academic??performance.??In??another??study??at??another??university,
there?was?no?correlation?between?uniforms?and?academic?prowess.
A?study??reported??in??the??2009??“Educational??Policy”??analyzed??data??from??two??other??studies??from??the??National
Center?for?Educational?Statistics.?Reading?scores?for?students?in?the?eighth?and?10th?grades?were?higher?in?schools
that?mandated?uniforms.?In?all?other?respects,?uniformed?students?in?one?study?performed?worse?than?students?who
did?not?wear?uniforms.?In?the?second?study,?students?from?private?schools?that?mandated?uniforms?scored?poorly?in
math??and??reading??compared??to??schools??that??did??not??require??uniforms.??In??public??schools,??uniforms??made??no
difference??in??mathematics??achievement.??Catholic??schools??that??mandated??uniforms??had??lower??scores??in??reading,
science?and?history?than?comparable?schools?that?did?not?require?uniforms.

aspirin?while?others?try?popular?home?remedies?(治疗)?like?herbal?tea?or?chicken?soup.?Yet?here?is?the?tough?truth
about?the?common?cold:?nothing?really?cures?it.
So?why?do?people?sometimes?believe??that?their?remedies?work??According?to?James?Taylor,?professor?at?the
University?of?Washington,?colds?usually?go?away?on?their?own?in?about?a?week,?improving?a?little?each?day?after

It?still?seems?hard?to?believe?that?we?can?deal?with?more?serious?diseases?yet?are?powerless?against?something
so?common?as?a?cold.?Recently,?scientists?came?closer?to?figure?out?why.?To?understand?it,?you?first?need?to?know

do??that,??the??drug?must??fit??and??lock??into??the??virus??like??the??right??piece??of??a??jigsaw??(拼图),??which??means?scientists
