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.” 21.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because ______________. A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance C. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the time D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes 22.

A. they make him feel at ease when working B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes C. he looks handsome in casual clothes D. he no longer works for any company 23. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Company workers started to dress down about thirty years ago. B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s. C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers. D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people. 24. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT ______________. A. saving worker’s money B. making workers more attractive C. improving worker’s feeling D. making workers happier B The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew (摄制组) out one evening to film the sunset for him. The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with the sunset?” “No, sir.” The men answered. The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked. “Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.” “But I want a sunset!” the director shouted.” Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.” But then a young secretary had an idea,” Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it would look like a sunset.” “That’s a good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said,” Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.” The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of the beautiful bay(海湾).Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir.” They said and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They all went to the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.” The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop. The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach. 25．One evening, the director sent his camera crew out______. A. to watch a beautiful sunset B. to find an actor and an actress C. to film a scene on the sea D. to meet the audience 26．Which of the following is NOT true? A. The crew had to follow the secretary’s advice. B. If you want to see a sunrise, the east coast is the place to go to. C. The camera crew wasn’t able to film the scene the first day. D. The director ordered his crew to stop filming the “sunset” . 27．The director wanted to film the sunset over the ocean because______. A. it went well with the separation of the hero and the heroine B. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the evening C. it was more moving than a sunrise D. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset 28．After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands______. A. because he was moved to tears B. as he saw everything in the film moving backwards C. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined D. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine ? C It would be pleasant to believe that all young girls in the past got married for romantic reasons; but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to gain independence from their parents, to have a provider, or to be assured of a good place in society. A couple of generations ago, an old maid of twenty-five did not have much to look forward to, she was more or less fated to remain with her parents or to live in some relative’s home where she would help with the chores and the children. Not so any more. In the first place, women remain young much longer than they used to, and an unmarried woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over. Besides, since she is probably working and supporting herself, she is free to marry only when and if she chooses. As a result, today’s women tend(倾向) to marry later in life. They have fewer children-or none at all—if they prefer to devote themselves to their profession. The result is a decline in the birthrate. The new role that women have developed for themselves has changed family life. Children are raised differently; they spend more time with adults who are not their parents: baby sitters, day-care center personnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or lose in the process is a hotly debated question. Some child experts believe that young children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind. Others think that children get more from a mother who spends with them “quality time” (a time of fun and relaxation set aside for them) rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby sitting. And many child psychologists point out that children kept in day-care centers every day are brighter than those raised at home. No matter what it is, one thing about child-raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better. 29．It can be concluded from the passage that______. A. women today have developed a new role in family life B. the birthrate is declining as a result of women’s pursuit (追求) of careers C. women have always been dependent on their parents even after marriage D. children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound 30．The change in women’s attitude towards marriage results in all of the following EXCEPT _________. A. more and more women quit (leave) jobs to take care of their children at home B. women today tend to marry later than they did C. women have less time to raise children D. more and more families remain childless 31．People have different opinions over the question as to______. A. how children should be raised B. where children should be raised C. whether children should stay with their parents D. how long children should stay with their parents 32．The author suggests that______. A. working women should not have children B. children should be kept in day-care centers all the time C. young children should stay with their mother as long as possible D. women should leave their work to look after their children at home D Jan. 10, 12, 17, 19, Tues. & Thurs. 6-8p.m. Marianne Adams is a professional photographer whose photographs appear in many magazines.
