阅读理解 Jo Land was surprised when she realized how much her youngest son's school uniform cost. "A jumper was￡25. A polo shirt was￡15," she says. "If it was this expensive for us, how on earth must families with three or four children manage?" In December 2021, Land put a box outside her house, with a sign reading, "School uniform drop-off". She set up a Facebook group and asked people to drop good-quality used uniforms into the box. The operation started to grow almost immediately. "Some weeks I give out up to 48 uniforms," she says. People drive up and drop the clothing: she sorts through it, keeps it in her "stock room" and posts details about donations on the Facebook group. The first parent to message her gets the items for nothing. Land puts the items in a named bag and then returns it to the box. Recipients (接受者) can come and collect at their leisure. "Being able to access good-quality preloved school uniforms has been a lifeline," says Kristina, a mother of two. "It's just amazing. "Every child going to school deserves to feel smart and proud," Land says. "We don't want children to go to school feeling negative, because that affects their learning. Land has noticed that people rarely take without also giving. Sometimes people leave flowers on the box, or they drop off some outgrown clothes too. Right now, Land is thinking about all the people in her community who will struggle this winter and she gets so many messages from people who are absolutely desperate, because they cannot afford uniforms for their children. Her determination to ensure children can access the uniforms they deserve grows ever stronger. （1） What inspired Land to set up the free uniform exchange?

School learning is associated with fashion. B . Recipients are required to give by the project. C . Many people in Land's community need uniforms. D .
