One afternoon three little neighbor girls ran up2my door, saying a baby squirrel was on the sidewalk. I quickly3the kids and they led me to a tiny squirrel still with milk teeth. I4and held the little creature up gently in my arms to check it for5. It seemed fine. I figured the mother must have been killed,6it an orphan(孤儿). Now, the baby was pretty hungry for milk and then left its nest to7the neighborhood for help.
I was about to carry it into my8when I found several other babies starting to run down the tree from where their nest was. With the first squirrel hid into my9, I stood at the base of the tree and was10when three more babies ran right down into my hands. Those dear little creatures were so happy to feel safe and11,and they all held each other close in my shirt. I took them home and12them bread and milk to eat. The poor starving things went13as they swallowed the meal.
I phoned a lady in the next town who14a small squirrel shelter. She had a big back yard with large 15surrounded by a tall wooden fence. She assured me she was well16to care for the babies and provide a natural home for them when they were grown.
I love that those little girls cared enough about the squirrels to seek out the17of the Animal Lady! And I really18getting to help the baby creatures. And then the19of caring continued20the lady with the squirrel shelter took them in. How wonderful to be part of a chain of kindness.

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 – khaki pants and 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 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 everyday 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 effect 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."
