Casual Dress in the Workplace

For Ruth, an employee at an insurance company, Friday isn’t just another workday. It is the day when she can wear a sweater and casual trousers instead of business suit. 【1】 “It is a real treat. It puts us in good mood and winds the week down.” Ruth has joined thousands of workers across the United States who happily change from jackets, ties, and dresses to jeans, polo shirts, and sweaters on Fridays.

Why dress-down Friday? “I think it gives an atmosphere of less formality(正式),” says President Matthew of Entex Industries. Today, dressing casually on the job is a way to show your company is in style. Another contributor is faxes, voice mail and email, which have reduced public contact. 【2

However, even though dressing down is popular, the trend is controversial. Some workers remain strongly opposed. “You have got all the time in the world to dress down when you retire,” declared one woman. 【3】 “We had some very important guests come in on a Friday a few months ago,” says another worker. “These people dressed in navy suits. Our people dressed way down. I thought it was embarrassing. It sent the wrong message about our company.” Many people feel that suits, ties and dresses are superior to casual clothes in creating a positive professional image.

Business people aren’t sure what to wear, and many people just put on whatever they feel like in the morning. 【5 They believe dressing down at work is one of the signs that the society is lowering its standards of everything. Czardas and John T. Malloy, author of Dress for Success, say psychological changes occur when people dress up. “There is no question what you wear affects what you do, your performance, and your attitude,” says Malloy.

【题目】Fixed or growth mindset which do you have?

We live in an uncertain world with all the technological advances we are experiencing, which meanse is a requirement for a change in midset (思维模式). In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset.

A fixed mindset supposes that you have native abilities and are naturally clever or skilled in certain areas of life. When you receive infonnation about how you have performed in a test or set of tasks t you may worry about how you are judged. Our parents probably said to us when we were young,"Since you scored really well in the test, you must be clever." However, by being repeatedly told “You arc clever” or “You are really ga*al al your job”,a person’s self-respect is actually dainagcd.

The growlh - mindest persona view life as a series of exciting challenges and want t o constantly learn. Brain activity occurs in this mindset when they receive information about what they could do belter or improve. They do not view their abilities as fixed or us failure. Learning is king and the more they practice , the more they know they will succeed.

What is important is giving praise around process and not around ability. For example , instead of saying"Since you got a great score, you must be clever" f say " You got a great score, and you must have tried really hard". This creates challenge in indivicluats and

The meanin of mindsets is massive for business. Fixed-mindset managers are not fans of giving feedback (反馈). They do not want to stretch themselves or others because they fear failure. Therefore their business may stand still because there is no risk or innovation (创新) occurring.

Listen from your own fixed mindset for example ," I can't do that” and answer with a growth-mindset response “I can't do that yet!" Remember there is no such thing as failure and there is s only learning. If you don't fail occasionally you will never learn to change and grow.

【题目】Stayathome kids are named “generation nini” in Spain. They are those adults who still live at home and are neither working nor studying. But the problem is by no means limited to Spain. It is a worldwide problem.

In Italy, they are known as “bamboccioni” or big babies. There nearly 60 percent of 1834yearold adults still live in their parents' home, up from almost 50 percent since 1983. Once kept there by the love for their mama's homecooked food, the economic crisis has seen a rise in adults left unable to hold down a steady job or afford a home of their own. Last year, an Italian government minister admitted that his mother washed his clothes and made the bed for him until he was 30. He demanded a law forcing young Italians to leave their parents' home at 18 to stop them becoming hopelessly dependent on their parents.

In the UK, the government has made the term NEETS—not in employment, education or training for these children. In England alone the percent of NEETS aged 19-24 surged to 18.8 percent of the age group—in the last quarter of 2010, up 1.4 percent on the same period a year before. The number of British men in their 20s living with their parents has risen from 59 percent to 80 percent in the past 15 years, while the number of women has risen from 41 percent to 50 percent. The average age of the firsttime house buyers is now 38.

In the US, the problem is known as the “full nest syndrome (综合症)”. Adults there are left struggling to support adult children who have stayed at home with student debts and facing few job opportunities in a weak economy. A recent study showed almost a third of American adults aged 34 and under are living with their parents.

1“Big babies” mentioned in Paragraph 2 refer to those adults who ________.

A. are poorly educated

B. are not as smart as others

C. lose their job in the bad economy

D. rely on their parents for a living

2The Italian government minister thinks that ________.

A. parents should make their children feel hopeless

B. young people should live on their own after 18

C. parents should never make the bed for their children

D. it is OK for adult children to live with their parents

3The underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.

A. jumped B. reduced

C. recovered D. moved

4What does the last paragraph tell us?

A. Some American adult children are a burden to their parents.

B. American parents are happy to live with their children.

C. America has the most adult children compared with other countries.

D. It is a tradition for adult children to live with their parents in America.
