VII. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer. (1.25pt)
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is
important to wear the right thing.
Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go
out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what
you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and
tidy.
But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or
skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and
restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their
clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the
evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and
women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.

It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because everyone
is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You'll feel more
relaxed if you don't look too different from everyone else.

A. attend meetings B. attend lectures C. spend their spare time D. meet their friends

A. Lawyers B. Doctors C. Drivers D. Accountants
32. If you visit an American friend at home in the evening, you may find that your friend wears …………
A. pretty clothes B. informal clothes C. formal clothes D. plain clothes
33. If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests to you is to wear………
A. strange clothes B. as the people there do C. your native clothes . D. comfortable clothes
