V. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important
to wear the right thing. Many British people do not think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable.
When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theaters, cinemas and concerts, you can
put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look like
clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses
or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and
restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes.
At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening,
they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty
clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because everyone is
different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch other people do and then do the same. You will feel more relaxed
if you do not look too different from everyone else.
17. Many British people wear freely when they _____________
A. attend meetings B. attend lectures C. spend their spare time D. meet their friends

As a home entertainment, television rapidly became more popular than any other forms. A news broadcast became

programs was the glimpse of far away places which many viewers would not otherwise have seen. Though much
