Friday was a day I will remember for the rest of my life. A day I have dreamt of since I was a little girl  36   to be swept away by Prince Channing. That day the world could have stopped turning and it wouldn' t have   37   at all.

     Friday night my boyfriend proposed to me during   38  . We were at a fancy restaurant in St. Louis and everything was going   39  . The mood was romantic, the lighting perfect and the  40   was more than I expected -- way more.

      When the waitress brought out our dinners, they were covered so they wouldn' t get  41She brought out his and uncovered his chicken parmesan, then   42   my "pepper - loin,"which was   43   a diamond engagement ring.

      I was so surprised that my first   44   was to laugh and cry at the same time. I  45  over and hugged him and he asked me to marry him. I will never forget that   46  .

      We have taken a huge   47   in our relationship. I' m still very young; I’ll be 21 next month,   48   it seems like the perfect time in my life to take everything one step further into

the   49  . There' s no need to rush though, so we are going to   50   about a year and a half to make sure we have plenty of time to get everything just the   51   we want it.

     With 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce, I want to make sure we   52   our time and do things right. I have read plenty of stories about people who have gotten mala4ed for the wrong   53, and I don' t want to be another statistic.

     For those who are   54   of proposing, or waiting for someone to pop the question, don' t rush it. Wait until you don' t have a   55   in your mind that he or she is the one for you. It will be very much worth your wait.

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day.“I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皺的).” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie.“I'm 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 work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”.“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.?

Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company,“so it's 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 study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said.“For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”?

David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because _______.

A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt?

B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance?

C. he looks handsome in casual clothes?

D. he no longer works for any company?

According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?

A. Many workers don't like a conservative dress code.?

B. Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.?

C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.?

D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.?
