We often see people in different offices wear different clothes. In America, a businessman goes to work in a dark suit, with black shoes, socks and a tie. A reporter goes to work in old blue jeans, a work shirt and sneakers(运动鞋). These two kinds of clothes are suitable for their work.
If you are a college student who will leave school soon, before starting a job, you have to buy some new clothes. And you’d better have a look at“what everyone else is wearing”in the office. On certain(某种) kinds of business occasions, the men wear only suits with white shirts and dark ties. On others, men can wear jackets.
Dressing is very important. Without it, there is no successful fashion. It would be helpful if everyone looks at himself in the mirror before leaving home every morning.

One day a farmer went out for a walk with his little son. The farmer wore a pair of wrong shoes. One had thick sole(厚鞋底) but the other didn’t. He began to walk and then his feet hurt. When he was just out of the house, he turned to his son and said, “Why is one of my legs longer than the other today?”
The son looked at his father’s legs carefully as he was walking and then laughed, “Oh, no, Daddy. Your legs are all right. You’re wearing the wrong shoes.” The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, “What a clever son!” Then he asked his son to go back and got the other pair of shoes for him. The farmer had only two pairs of shoes.
When the son ran back to the house, he found that the other pair was also a wrong pair. He had to return to his father with nothing in his hands and said, “It’s no use changing them, Daddy! The shoes at home are not a pair, either!”

What’s the coolest kind of transportation(交通) for middle school students back from winter holidays? A racing bike? A car? No, it’s a special kind of shoes called Heelys(暴走鞋). Heelys look just like common sports shoes, but they have a wheel(轮子) hidden(藏) in the heel(鞋跟). So instead of walking, kids can “fly” around in them.
“Wearing Heelys is fun and cool!” said Wu Peng, a boy who wore them on his first day back at No. 6 Middle School in Beijing. Wu Peng said he loves the shoes so much that he wears them to go here and there. Sometimes he even follows his parents’ car to the supermarket in his Heelys!
Other students also think they are very cool, but some aren’t so lucky with their Heelys. It’s said that some children fell down and got hurt while wearing these shoes.

There’re labels(标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The labels may say “dry-clean only”. If you put these clothes into the water to wash them, you may ruin(损坏) them.
