C
Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain’s most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe－the business tribe.
You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn’t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.
“Ties offer a point of indifference,” says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers, “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”
So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread of entrepreneurs(创业者) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people－but not the people wearing ties.
Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat－in fact his nickname was “hatless Jack”. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps “tieless Tony” (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”.
66．In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person’s __________.
A．personality       B．social position  C．wearing style    D．favorite hobby
67．In the business world, wearing a tie was necessary because _________.
A．it showed you used your brain       B．it showed you got a good salary
C．it showed you were an employer    D．it showed you were well-equipped
68．The underlined word “vanished” in this passage may mean _________.
A．sold  B．washed     C．appeared   D．disappeared
69．The writer may hold the opinion that _____________.
A．Blair is the best leader in the world
B．Kennedy is the best leader in the world
C．millions of people will go to work without a tie
D．people will wear hats instead of ties
70．Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?
A．If you are a professional, you can’t wear a tie in Britain
B．The tie will become more fashionable and popular in the future
C．It was the election of John F．Kennedy to the presidency of the United States that changed the fact that wearing hats as part of their business uniform
D．Men across the western world didn’t wear hats as part of their business uniform until around 1960

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意每题词数要求)。

[1]Freezing weather can mean frostbite(冻伤)and hypothermia(体温过低)unless a person is prepared. Today we talk about how to stay warm，dry and safe．

[2]Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long．It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears．If deeper tissue is affected, a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold．Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannot produce as much heat as it：releases．Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty thinking clearly．

[3] To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm．Think of COLD—C．O．L．D．

[4]The C stands for cover．Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears．And wear mittens(连指手套)instead of gloves．

[5]The O stands for overexertion(用力过度)．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty．Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination．

[6] L is for layers．Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing.

[7]D is for dry．In other words，stay as dry as possible．Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing．These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves．

[8] And here are two other things to keep in mind-one for children and    ．Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body’s temperature．And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm．But what it really does is weaken the body’s ability to hold heat．
