III- Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer (5 pts)
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 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 United States because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and do the same. You’ll feel more relaxed if you don’t look too different from everyone else.
56. Many British people wear freely when they ........................
 A. attend meetings	B. attend lectures	
 C. spend their spare time 	D. meet their friends
57. Who doesn’t usually wear suits and ties?
 A. Lawyers	B. Doctors	C. Drivers	D. Secretaries
58. 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
59. If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests to you is to wear..................
 A. strange clothes	B. as the people there do	
 C. your native clothes 	D. pretty clothes
60. What do you think the passage is mainly about?
A. Recent dressing habit in Great Britain and the United States.
B. The reason why informal clothing is popular in Britain and the US.
C. When we should wear in a formal way. 
D. Where we should wear in a formal way.
