12、eting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position.

13、udged by your personal appearance.This is never more apparent than on“dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could.

14、n “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, and recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days.Remember, there are borders between your career a
15、nd our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there.

C It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had uniqu
21、e characteristics. In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the decline of class and classless society in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class. But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion f
22、ound 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part
23、 of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British persons class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most a
24、ttractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded educated and soft. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. These accents were seen as common and ugly. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down a
25、nd placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice. In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, i
26、n order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 2019 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live like common people they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life. 8.
