8．Five years ago，David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．"I was a clothes addict （迷），"he jokes．"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled （皱的）．"Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants 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．"More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work．In the United States，the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow．In the early 1990s，many companies allowed their workers 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 workers has really become an everyday thing，"said business adviser Maisly Jones．
Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes？One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers 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．（保守的着装要求）"Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes．In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company，85percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work．Supporters of casual office wear also say 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．"
24．David Smith refers to himself as having been"a clothes addict"becauseC．
A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B．he couldn't stand a clean appearance
C．he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the time
D．he didn't want to spend much money on clothes
25．David Smith wears casual clothes now，becauseA．
A．they make him feel at ease when working
B．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C．he looks handsome in casual clothes
D．he no longer works for any company

A．Many workers don't like a conservative dress code．
B．Comfortable clothes make workers more productive．
C．A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers．
D．All the employers in the U．S．are for casual office wear．

25．A 细节理解题．根据第一段3，4行He hardly ever wears a necktie．"I'm working harder than ever，"David says，"and I need to feel comfortable．"可知穿休闲服装让他更舒服，很随意．故选A．
26．D 理解推断题．根据文章第二段第一句Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes？可知很多公司都允许工人穿休闲服．但是并没有说所有的公司都是支持这样做的．故D项内容不准确．
