In America, a businessman goes to work in a dark suit, with black shoes, socks and a tie. A reporter goes to work in old blue jeans, a work shirt and sneakers(运动鞋). These two kinds of clothes are suitable for their work. If you are a college student who will leave school soon, before starting a job, you have to buy some new clothes. And youd better have a look at“what everyone else is wearing”in the office. On certain(某种) kinds of business occasions, the men wear only suits with white shirts and dark ties. On others, men can wear jackets.Dressing is very important. Without it, there is no successful fashion. It would be helpful if everyone looks at himself in the mirror before leaving home every morning. ( )41. Its very common to see people in different offices wear the same clothes. ( )42.

After I had thought about it for a moment, I let him in. “Thank you,” he said in a low voice. “I have been looking for you for years.” I showed him into the living-room.

For example, they only eat fresh fish. Chinese have a lot of ideas for cooking. They can cook a chicken in over ten ways. Thats why Chinese food is so popular around the world.

They can make very good cakes and chocolate.
