cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of mygratitude. I hope you will accept it. ” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be
paid properly for what he has done. ” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much
that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will
tell me how much your fee is? ”
“Fifty pounds ”, he answered.

School uniforms are becoming more and more popular around the USA. That 's no surprise, because they have many benefits. They end the powerful social labeling （有力的社会标记）that comes from clothing. If all the students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing “wrong” clothes.
Somepeople are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they don't realize that students already accept a kind of rule —wanting to look like just their friends. For students, the school uniforms remind them that their main task in school is to get education.
Some parents are unhappy with uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children 's “creativity ”.
However, school uniforms that students wear don't necessarily show their individuality （个性）. And also the students have the rest days of the week to be
as creative as they like. While they are in school, their jobs are to learn reading, writing, math and so on. Mastery （掌握） of those skills will be good for students
to build up their creativity in every way.
32. From the passage, we can learn that school uniforms can ____________ .
A. make students laugh at others.
B. show students ' individuality.
C. help students keep their task in mind.
D. reduce parents ' economy pressure.
