阅读理解。     These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear formal (正式的) clothes. But sometimes it
is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don"t think about clothes very much. When they
go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost(几乎) anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts (音
乐会) you can put on anything you like: from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything
goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear
suits and ties and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear
quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear
tidy dresses.
      In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their
clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal (非正式的) or sports clothes. But when
they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear
jackets and ties, and women have to wear pretty clothes.
     It is difficult to say exactly (确切地) what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is
different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You"ll feel
good if you don"t look too different from everyone else.1. The best title (题目) for this passage (文章) would be ______.    A. what British and American people wear nowadays (现在)

    C. differences between British and American business men

    B. Lawyers (律师) always wear formal clothes even though (即使) they are at home.
    C. British people are more careful with their clothes than American people.
