Dear Antonio,
My daughter is working in the file room at the law firm I work for and I am very happy that we were
able to get her on. My concern is that she wouldn"t have got the summer job if I had not "known" people.
What about kids whose parents do not know someone?
Posted by: Tracy
Hi, Antonio,
I found my summer job on my own and my parents are so proud of me because I did it on my own.
That is why the world needs teens who can take responsibility for themselves and grow into mature and
wise adults. Can"t wait for your next blog. I enjoy your writing. You have a great point of view.

"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled." Today David
wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears 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 change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies
allowed their employees 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 employees has
really become an everyday thing," said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that
it"s easier for a company to attract new employees 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 conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers
said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said
that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue 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."
B. he couldn"t stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn"t want to spend much money on clothes
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer works for any company
B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
D. All the employers in the US are for casual office wear.
B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees" motivation
D. making employees happier

around their mothers quietly, it is easy to tell that they are nervous. Mothers also know that they can calm the
child with a touch on the cheek or a gentle word.
It seems that we come into the world with a set of gestures already programmed into us. Everybody,
regardless of country, race or religion, can look surprised, smile or cry. It also seems that we can recognize
our mothers" voice even before we are born. Even a newborn baby will look in the direction of its mother"s
voice when she is not in sight. Feeding time also means a time when babies and mothers can get closer. The
baby can watch the mother"s face at the same time.
Babies are also excellent observers of facial (of the face) expressions and learn from mothers" reaction
whether something is to be feared or not. This is often why first babies are more timid (胆小的) and less
relaxed than their later brothers and sisters. The mother is obviously more worried with her first baby but by
the time the second arrives she will have gained confidence.
Babies never want to be left out of any activity. Even small babies will cry until they can see what is going
on around them. Babies learn to communicate quite early with gestures. They point to things and get rewarded
when those things are given to them. They laugh during a game and are rewarded when the game is continued.
They smile at strangers and are rewarded by being picked up and held in their arms. So learning the body
language of the children is as important and rewarding as studying that of another culture.
B. Get near to their mothers silently.
C. Close their eyes and shake their head.
D. Point to things they are afraid of.
B. habit
C. voice
D. Gestures
B. Babies understand what their mothers are thinking about
C. Babies will be more timid if their mothers are confident
D. Babies are easily influenced by their mothers
B. facial expressions
C. touching on the cheek
D. making noise
Generally speaking, the rich are happier because money can buy them goods and services and it is the
consumption (消费) of these materials that increases one"s enjoyment of life. Especially nowadays, money
seems to be one thing that drives the people around. "Human beings live for money while birds die for food."
-a well-known Chinese saying is quite quotable (适宜引用的) to explain the present society. Some people try
every means to make money at the cost of others" interests. These people harm others to benefit themselves.
They think the more money they make, the happier they will be.
In addition to money, people"s happiness was affected by other factors. High age is what many Chinese
are dreaming of. Longevity is the very term that people often use to pray for their dears and elders. So there
are many books and theories that introduce the way of living longer. Dancing, jogging, dieting, even singing
and shouting together are said to do good to one"s health.
However, some people think that high spirits is the most important to the quality of one"s life. If you are
in high spirits, you"ll find everything pleasing and comfortable in life: warm sunshine, blue sky, white clouds,
happy birds, comfortable breeze (gentle wind), sweet smiles, and so on. You seem to have friends across the
world. Your life will be happy at every moment. You will be in good health and can make more money if you
live longer.
In one word, let"s keep ourselves in high spirits, therefore we could keep longevity and make considerable
money at the same time.
B. to live is to make more money
C. the more money people make, the longer they will live
D. people will die for making more money, just as birds die for food
B. they can gain all the things in the world
C. the consumption can increase their enjoyment of life
D. they help the poor by giving them a lot of money
B. high spirits
C. high age
D. high income
B. good mood
C. wealth
D. a high age
people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give
them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive
(行政的; 管理的) circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a
woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plain (平常的,不漂亮的)
men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to
have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such
as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than
the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was
connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine
and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage
in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly"
qualities required.
This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women
differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political
candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one
of women, of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.
They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had
ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
B. advantage
C. misfortune
D. trouble
B. strengthens the qualifies required
C. is of no importance to women
D. often enables women to succeed quickly
B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C. affects men and women alike
D. has as little effect on men as on women
B. supportive
C. old-fashioned
D. one-sided
B. discuss the disadvantages of women being attractive
C. demand equal rights for women
D. state the importance of appearance
