BFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,”he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if
32、 my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,“ David says, ”and I need to feel comfortable.“ More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to wor
33、k in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a

One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if i
35、t has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a

One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful(有压力的) condition
41、s. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without
42、such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, rel
