  Department stores sell ready-to-wear clothing, which is also called ready-made-clothint. Such clothing is made in fixed sizes. Those people who find that ready-made clothing fits them well can save money by buying it. Most often. People do not fit exactly into a producer’s size. Their clothing must be altered(改變)to make it fit better, However, most alterations are not very expensive. The small cost of most allerations means that ready-made clothing can meet the needs of most custioners.

  Those who can afford it often get someone to design and make their clothing. Such clothing is called custom-made(定做的). The person who makes it measures the customer,and then sews it so that it fits perfectly.Alterations are not needed. Custom-made clothing is largely sewn by hand. Has better quality,better material, and is of the style you have chosen. Of course, it costs much more than ready-to-wear clothing. You need to pay the difference for the special fitting and better skill that you are receiveing. This often means that you spend double or more than you would for a ready-made garment(衣服).

  Custom-made clothing is not always that much better than ready-made clothing. It costs more partly because only one garment has been made, just for you. Companies that produce ready-made products make thousands of garments at a time. This means they can buy large quantities of material. Workers cut each size by the hundreds. Companies work out ways to make the garments, quickly ly machine and pay workers according to their skill. Thus they can sell the finished products at a low price while still making money. Most of the clothing sold in the United States is made in this way. Customers gain from the lower prices which are made possible by mass production(批量生產(chǎn)).It may or may not give them high quality.

閱讀理解

  Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(繞行路)in life that by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But I as quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

  For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do:the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially when ai was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.

  Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

  But then Banner, our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices:leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.

  That is how I found my self on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour, let Banner shke out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.

  We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons(見識).

  We eventually arrived at my parents'doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories

  I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

  Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyon adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.
