     It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various

features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the

opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button

from the right, and women's form the left. Considering most of the word's population----men and women----are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do

women's clothes button from the left?

     History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th

century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having

women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.

     Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned

form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned

from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have

to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe

they were wearing men's shirts.

1. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?

A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.

B. It is different for men's clothing and women's.

C. It woks better with men than with women.

D. It fails to consider right-handed people.

2. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?

A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.

B. They were interested in the historical matters.

C. They were mostly dressed by servants.

D. They drew their swords from the left.

3. Women's clothes still button from the left today because         .

A. adopting men's style is improper for women

B. manufacturers should follow standards

C. modern women dress themselves

D. customs are hard to change

4. The passage is mainly developed by          .

A. analyzing causes                    

B. making comparisons

C. examining differences                

D. following the time order

In the year after my mother left us, my father was 42 and he knew that he wasn’t going to make it to 43. He wrote a letter to me and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what I would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going?”

A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of , and believe in somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear ---- as mine was until my father’s letter---- is of being a disappointment.

Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts :“Don’t worry; you’ll do something great .”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
