Passage 1

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes

addict(迷),〞 he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my

clothes got wrinkled(皱的).〞 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 Measly 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.〞

Passage 2

.

.实用文档.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the

second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.

Mother’s Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson

in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor

mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of

wearing a carnation.

In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers.

She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the

responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was

observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Father’s Day as a

national commemorative day, in 1972.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and

educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.

These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear

carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead.

Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents

are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants.

They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and

memories.

46. According to the passage, which of the following about the second Sunday in May is NOT

true?

A. It is a day to show love to mothers.

B. It is a day to wear carnations.

C. It is a day for people to visit the cemetery.

D. It is a day for many people to attend religious services.

b. Mother’s Day was proclaimed a day for national observance.

c. Father’s Day became a day for national observance.

d. The idea of honoring fathers was brought up.

A. a b c d B. d a b c C. b a c d D. d a c b
