When I was a boy, children always objected  51  wearing school uniform but teachers were  52  on it because they said all of us looked   53 . Otherwise, they said, children would compete with  54  and the poorer children would be unhappy because people would see how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have  55  the idea of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear  56  they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own.

One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey (运动套衫) because  57  wants to look different  58  the other children in the class. Parents may not be as happy about this as children, but they  59  to be, because this new kind of uniform is one that the children like, not something they have been forced to wear, and it is also  60  cheaper than school uniform used to be.
