I. Reading Comprehension (本题共15小题，每题2分，共30分)

Directions:There are 3reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.

Passage One

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “Iwas a clothes addict(迷),”he jokes. “Iused 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’mworking harder than ever,”David says, “andI 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(butonly on Friday).This became known as “dress-downFriday”or “casualFriday”.“Whatstarted 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. “Alot of young people don't want to dress up for work,”says the owner of a software company, “soit'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, 85percent 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. “Suitsare expensive, if you have to wear one every day,”one person said. “Forthe same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

Passage Two

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn ’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed （解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized （强调）the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating （欺骗）themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously （认真地）about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl ’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn ’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to

explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen,I am sure she continued （继续）to believe that I had cheated on the test.

Passage Three

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.
