Most schools in England require children to wear a school uniform.
There are at least four advantages. Firstly, when they go on a school trip they all look the same and so they can’t get lost. Secondly, it stops kids worrying about what to wear each day. Everyone is equal. Thirdly, parents don’t have to shop for expensive and different clothes for their children to show off. Fourthly, wearing a uniform gives a sense of being proud and discipline(纪律约束) in them.

There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn't have airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India . And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is because they can't grow much the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.
So he and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees."(印度货币) Two rupees in India is ; it's like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His __ watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became . As he coughed terribly , he up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them a condiment（作料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not !" So the silly master said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, now I'll eat them. It's my !"
And you think that master was silly,
right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of 
things
like that. we still continue just because we've money,
time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt
so bad but couldn't stop 
because
he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.
So you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to .
