Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 40 to 44.
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.
