Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali(强碱) sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United states.
Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”--- the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.
Here nature created a lot of surprising scenes, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable(变化的) parts of Death Valley is the Devil’s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.

A. Tomesha B. Death Valley C. Nevada D. Badwater

A. an Indian name B. the death o the miners
C. the local people D. a National Movement

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(有瘾的人)” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am 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? 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” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees 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 (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress has a negative morale (心境,士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue 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.”
51. 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 wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
52. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because____.
A. they make him feel at ease when working B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes D. he no longer works for any company
53. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?
Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.
54. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.
“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
55. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT_____.
A. saving employees’ money B. making employees more attractive
