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 question:
These days, most people in Britain and the United States 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 theaters, 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 United States, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear
dresses and 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 holidays, 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 hairstyle.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the United State 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.
Question 28: Many British people wear freely when they _________.
A. meet their friend

B. attend lectures
C. attend meeting
D. spend their spare time
Question 29: Who doesn’t usually wear suits and ties?
A. Lawyers
B. Doctors
C. Farmers
D. Secretaries
Questio 30: 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. dirty clothes
Question 31: If you are in foreign country, the best way the writer suggest to you is to wear _________.
A. strange clothes
B. as the people there do
C. your native clothes D. pretty clothes
Question 32: What do you think the passage is mainly about?
