For some people, it’s easy to get dressed for work. Pilots and police officers, for example, don’t have to make decisions about their work clothes. They wear uniforms to work every day.
For many office workers, however, it is more difficult to choose clothes for work. They do not wear uniforms to the office. Also, many organizations are changing their dress codes. They are allowing their employees to wear casual(隨意的) clothes to work.
The change to casual work clothes began in the 1990s. At first, many companies in the United States allowed employees to wear casual clothes on one day of the week—Friday. Friday became “Casual Friday” or “Dress-down Friday”. Today, however, many companies are allowing their employees to wear casual clothes every day of the week.
Some studies show that people are producing and achieving more when they are wearing comfortable clothes. Some companies also like the casual dress code because they don’t need to buy special clothes for work. They can save money this way.
Unfortunately, a casual dress code can also cause problems. Sometimes employees think they can wear anything. Many companies have rules about casual clothes. They list the kinds of clothes that are not “business-casual” clothes. Blue jeans, sandals, and sportswear are examples of clothes that are usually too casual for the office.

How could we live without the Internet? That's how most of us keep in touch with friends, find homework support, research cool place to visit, or find out the latest news. You can use it to do research for school, find out what movie is on near you, check out a college you're thinking about, or find a job or volunteer opportunity. Almost anything you can think of has a website about it.
You've probably heard stories about people who get into trouble in chat rooms. Because users can easily keep anonymous, you may be cheated in the chat room. Everyone in the chat room looks like wearing a mask(面具). Chat rooms often attract people who are interested in more than just chatting. They will sometimes ask visitors for information about themselves. The information might be about their families, or where they live. It shouldn't be given away.
Usually, the people who request personal information like home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses use the information to do some illegal(違法的) things. This might harm a person's or family's well-being.

On July 12th, 2009, at 5 pm, a lot of fans met at People’s Square in Shanghai. They performed Michael Jackson’s unfinished dance. For one minute, they sang and did the moon walk (太空步) to remember Michael Jackson.
This kind of phenomenon (現(xiàn)象) is called “flash mob (快閃族)”. “Flash mob” is a group of people who meet in a public place to perform an activity for a short time. Sometimes all these people are friends, but usually they are strangers (陌生人) and they find each other (彼此) on the Internet.
“Flash mob” is very surprised and strange. One of the popular “flash mob” activities was in Manhattan, New York City: Three hundred people met in a store and each of them told the shop assistant that they would buy the same size sports shoes, and the shop assistant didn’t know what to do.

You wouldn’t steal a car. You would never rob (搶劫) a bank or pick someone’s pocket. But you may be another kind of thief.
If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of their intellectual properly rights (知識產(chǎn)權(quán)).
Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day. Activities to tell people about intellectual property rights were held around the country.
Intellectual property includes inventions, literary (文學(xué)的) and artistic works, names, and pictures. They are of little value (價值) if they are not read, seen and used.
While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money and time making a new product. That’s why they have the right to make money from their work.
So buying pirated (盜版的) music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no respect for their hard work.
If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else. But those who make pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
The authors should ask for a fair price for their work. Earlier this year there was much talk about how much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
The copyright fee (版權(quán)費) also should be fair to the users. That’s good for the music’s popularity and society as well.
小題1:What is the author’s attitude towards protecting (保護) intellectual property rights7
A．He is for it.B．He is against it.
C．He doesn’t care about it.D．The article doesn’t tell us.
小題2:Which of the following do intellectual property rights not cover?
A．Inventions.B．Literary and artistic works.
C．Names end pictures.D．Pirated music.
小題3:According to the article, which of the following is true?
A. Authors should ask for a high price for their work,
B, The copyright fee should ha fair to users.
C. Authors, singers and actors have no right to make money from their work,
D. Buying pirated music by Jay Chou is very good.
小題4:What is the best title for the article?
A．Rob a BankB．Copyright Fees
C．Say No to pirated MusicD．World Intellectual Property Day
