    Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day． "I was a clothes addict," he jokes． "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．" Today David wears casual clothes--khaki pants and a sports shirt to the office． He hardly ever wears a necktie． "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable．"
    More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work． In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow． In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday)． This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday"． "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing．" said business adviser Maisly Jones．
    Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes' One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code． "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code．" Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes． In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work． Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money． "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said． "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes．"

  • 第16题：

    C

    It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers （生产商）follow certain uniform. standards for various features（特征）of clothes. What seems strange , however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form. the left. Considering most of the word’s population-men and women-are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?

    History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the

    17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hang, having men’s shirts button form. the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.

    Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form. the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard , once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form. the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.

    64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?

    A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.

    B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.

    C. It woks better with men than with women.

    D. It fails to consider right-handed people.

    What do you know about “carnation”?
    A

    It only has two kinds of colors.

    B

    It refers to the clothes people wear on Mother’s Day.

    C

    It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.


    正确答案： C
    解析：
    考 点：推理题。题目是要我们推测“carnation”的含义。从文章第二段二、三句“On Mother’s Day, people wear carnations. Wearing a red one means having a living mother, while a white one shows that the mother is dead. ”可以推断出carnation应该是一种花，而且是在母亲节佩戴表示特殊意义的花。文章没有提到它就只有两种颜色，故A项不正确。文章中也没有提到它与母亲节穿的服装有关，故B项也不正确。由此可见，本题的正确答案应为C。
