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 ev- eryday 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 productivity. 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."
David Smith refers to himself as having been "a clothes addict", because______.
A.he often wore casual clothes and a sports shirt
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

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict," he jokes. "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 and a sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."

A Completely Different Product And A New Way Of Doing Business
When James Dyson introduced the DC01 vacuum cleaner in 1993, few people could have guessed that within a few years it would be the biggest selling vacuum cleaner in Britain. With no bag and a number of space age design features, it was unlike any other vacuum cleaner.
Today, the Dyson company employs 1, 050 people at its headquarters in Malmesbury. The company has an annual turnover of &150 million and Dyson vacuum cleaners are sold all around the world. In addition, the company has won many design awards and, most surprising of all, Dyson cleaners are on display in several of the world's leading museums of modem art.
Dyson is not a typical company. For example, everyone who starts work at Dyson makes a vacuum cleaner on their first day. This way, all the staff know what the company produces and how they pro duce it.
Designers and engineers work together to design and test theft ideas, unlike other companies where they are separate departments. Dyson also believes in direct communication--no one sends memos in the office, they go and speak to each other. And no one wears suits. James Dyson doesn't insist on this, but he does believe that wearing a suit stops people from thinking creatively. Judging from the success of Dyson. fewer companies will wear suits in future !
Dyson vacuum cleaners are not like other cleaners.
A.right
B.wrong
C.Doesn't say
