9．

A．Of course，you don't always need to wear a suit．
B．Besides，men care more about dress codes than women do．
C．In short--remember to keep your whole style plain and simple．
D．Companies have seen that the more relaxed attitude to dress not only promotes comfort，
but also encourages younger workers to stay．
E．All in all，not every company allows its staff to wear earrings．
F．First，let's look at color．

Getting dressed for the officeIt's clear that business wear has changed in the last few years--for both men and women．Even traditional business such as law companies have altered their dress codes from"smart"to"smart-casual"．（67）D．What is less clear，however，is what"smart-casual"actually means．I hope to give you a few basic tips here．There are many factors involved：for example，the particular industry you work in，how much contact you have with the public and your position in the company．The seasons even have a part to play--what is acceptable in the summer might not be in the autumn or winter．
So，does"smart-casual"mean you can come to work in tracksuit bottoms and sandals，or does it just mean that you don't have to wear a tie？（68）F．Fashionable colors for suits for both men and women this season are still the traditional grey，dark blue and black．You see someone wearing grey and it indicates a conservative，professional image； dark blue says you're trustworthy； and black always looks smart and classy．These colors don't have to look boring，however．Try wearing a shirt or blouse with a splash of color．Pale blue，pink or lilac are better than loud colors like bright pink and dark red．
（69）A．Men can go for a sports-type jacket，with a shirt or smart jumper．You can wear well-cut trousers made of wool，or a good pair of chinos．Women can wear trouser suits or skirt suits．You can also wear more fashionable trousers and a blouse，or a skirt and top．But be careful； avoid wearing baggy，loose clothes，very short skirts and lots of logos and patterns．If in doubt，go back to the suit．You need a similar attitude to jewellery，bags and other accessories； you should try to resist large earrings and huge，colorful bags．（70）C．

8．We moved to a small university town in Illinois and found ourselves living next to a lot of young students．Almost every morning，as Dede would walk me to my school，we'd walk through the students'party wasteland covered with things I was too young to know about and Dede was too old to care about．
One day，a group of guys started shouting"Ali Baba"at us and laughing．I turned red and begged Dede to cross the street with me．But she refused．Instead，she laughed in her usual way，yelled"Ali Baba"and waved at them as we walked by．They just watched us in shocked silence and never said anything to us again．
Dede set an example for me that day and forever after，because she taught me to be always proud of who I was．
Her stories were like a movie that was rich and imaginative and she never sugarcoated anything．While Dede preferred the Queen's English，her vocabulary was just as alive．The landscapes she created in her stories were so vibrant（充满活力的） and filled with a wild cast of characters．
Almost every day，I would interrupt Dede，whatever she was busy with，and beg her to tell me a story．She would silently stare at me through the large glasses that took up half of her face．Whether it was only 10minutes or several hours，I would barely speak as Dede took me to places I never wanted to come back from．
My mother died while I was a child．Without the care and guidance of Dede in every aspect of life，I couldn't have lived happily．Dede taught me so much，not only in daily life，but also in her attitude to dealing with unpleasant things that I don't want to confront．

Students in the program built a micro house with a kitchen，a bathroom，a sleeping loft with space for a queen-size bed and a storage loft，all set on a trailer for mobility．The exterior of the house was part of a continuous living exhibit in 2015and was moved to the IDEA campus so students could work with builders to complete the interior earlier this year．
McMahon said the D．C．government's approval to push companies to hire District residents was at odds with the school system not preparing students for careers in construction，exploring or electrical work．McMahon gathered industry and community leaders to establish ACAD in 2005，and he said 100percent of the companies he contacted responded positively to the idea，including major firms such as JBG，Clark Construction，Hines Construction and Boston Properties．

3．In 1990，over 100 countries signed （061）an international agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory，which is mainly used for jewelry．Most ivory is made from the tusks（象牙） of African elephants．These tusks are （62）terribly（terrible） valuable-one pair is worth more than three times the income of an African farmer or factory worker in a year．
Hunting elephants was so profitable （63）thatfrom 1979 to 1989 the number of elephants in Africa（64）fell（fall） from 1.3million to 600，000．However，thanks to the international agreement，there （65）has been（be） much less illegal hunting since 1990．
But considering（66）varieties（vary） of aspects，it costs a lot of money to preserve elephants．Game wardens （狩猎监督员） must be hired to protect them，land must be set aside for them，and when they destroy a farmer's crops，the farmer must（67）be paid（pay） compensation（赔偿）．
Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally．This will help keep the population stable，and selling the ivory will help pay for preserving the elephants．（68）But conservationists say that making ivory legal to sell would lead to even more illegal hunting．Others say（69）itis wrong is to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals who feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants．Anyway，people should take immediate and constant measures（70）to protect（protect） elephants．

1．WELLINGTON，New Zealand （AP）----About 140 pilot whales that stranded（使…搁浅） themselves on a remote stretch of New Zealand beach have died，but conservation workers and volunteers are hoping the remaining 60 or so will survive after they managed to get them refloated，an official said Saturday．
The geography of Farewell Spit on the South Island seems to work against whales，which regularly become stranded there．The stranding of 198whales on Friday was one of the largest in recent years and inspired 80 workers and volunteers to help out．
By late Saturday，140 of the whales had died，said Department of Conservation area manager Andrew Lamason．
He said the workers and volunteers worked throughout the day to keep the surviving whales watered and covered before refloating them during Saturday night's high tide．
"We've had a really good crew of volunteers，and people have been wanting to come from all over the country，"Lamason said．
He said the surviving whales had moved to deeper water．But he cautioned that although hopes for their survival were high，whales had been refloated in the past only to return and get stranded again．
Lamason said the scale（规模） of the stranding has been tough on the helpers，both physically and mentally．
"It's very sad，they're very intelligent animals，"he said．"The common view is that it's part of nature．"
The focus will now turn to the dead whales，and the enormous task of dealing with the remains，Lamason said，adding that in the past helpers have typically buried them in the sand，but that he's not sure what the approach will be this time．
He said the department had been experimenting with moving the the dead whales into the water，which has the advantage of providing food for other sea creatures．
