From skirts and high heels to jeans and trainers: These are 5 new rules of 2017 workplace fashion. In recent years, suit has loosened its grip on the work place with a wide range of professional careers redefining the definition of what it means to dress smart. These days, it’s likely that many of us will never really have to wear anything more formal than a pair of tailored trousers, as the days of donning a stuffy suit, stiff shirt and tie are well on their way out. The way we dress is so often a compelling reflection of social change and with people in the UK working longer hours than ever before, can you really blame us for seeking a little comfort? From entrepreneurs to accountants, the rules of workplace style are changing.It’s All in the Jeans1. No longer the reserve of the weekend, jeans have finally ditched their dangerous liaison with soccer mums and the stonewashed Jeremy Clarkson effect. Instead, they’ve become a steadfast in any well-edited work wardrobe with designers thrusting a myriad of styles in our direction. From cropped and frayed to indigo and high-waisted, you can’t just roll into the office in any old pair. A boom in the market has seen luxury brands tap into denim’s natural simplicity with the likes of Vetements and Gucci selling their iterations for well over £1000.Sneaker Pimps2. High heels will always have their place in the office, but if we can get the same job done in a pair of trainers then bring it on. While they do offer a more comfortable solution to work wear, that doesn’t mean you can afford to get lazy with your choices. Rocking up to the office in a ratty pair of Asics will not make the cut, instead, take head of the thriving success of Adidas’ Stan Smiths or Gazelle’s, or opt for an embellished slip-on style. When it comes to styling, the trick here is to pair them with a power-lite uniform of tailored trousers or even a straight cut jean with a boxy blazer.Subtle ScentsWhen it comes to wearing perfume in the workplace, the more approach to smelly stuff has become seriously frowned upon. While there was nothing understated about the 80s for instance - when sheathing yourself in Calvin Klein’s Obsession was as much a part of power dressing as the suit-these days, there has been a shift towards less potent scents. 3. Some offices have even gone as far as to introduce scent-free workplaces and, while it’s nice to smell good when you’re surrounded by colleagues, it’s important to remember that a little goes a long way.Barefaced Beauty4. With longer commutes into work, for women, every precious moment counts. While some battle against a throng of disapproving busybodies as they attempt to apply mascara on the tube, others have given it up altogether. No longer an expectation, women are going to work—and anywhere they like for that matter—barefaced.The tattoo taboo5. For years, tattoos have been considered part of a counterculture but they are increasingly becoming more popular than ever. From celebrities like Victoria Beckham to former PM’s wife Samantha Cameron, tattoos are rapidly becoming part of the mainstream and luckily, it’s something a growing number of employers are beginning to recognise. Finally, modern workplace standards are recognising that having skin art has very little to do with your ability to do your job.

Paris is like pornography. You respond even if you don’t want to. You turn a corner and see a vista, and your imagination bolts away. Suddenly you are thinking about what it would be like to live in Paris, and then you think about all the lives you have not lived. Sometimes, though, when you are lucky, you only think about how many pleasures the day ahead holds. Then, you feel privileged.The lobby of the hotel is decorated in red and gold. It gives off a whiff of 19th century decadence. Probably as much as any hotel in Paris, this hotel is sexy. I was standing facing the revolving doors and the driveway beyond. A car with a woman in the back seat—a woman in a short skirt and black-leather jacket—pulled up before the hotel door. She swung off and she was wearing high heels. Normally, my mind would have leaped and imagined a story for this woman. Now it didn’t. I stood there and told myself, “Cheer up. You’re in Paris.”In many ways, Paris is best visited in winter. The tourist crowds are at a minimum, and one is not being jammed off the narrow sidewalks along the Rue Dauphine. More than this, Paris is like many other European cities in that the season of blockbuster cultural events tends to begin in mid-to late fall and so, by the time of winter, most of the cultural treasures of the city are laid out to be admired.The other great reason why Paris in winter is so much better than Paris in spring and fall is that after the end of the August holidays and the return of chic Parisian women to their city, the restaurant-opening season truly begins hopping. By winter, many of the new restaurants have worked out their kinks and, once the hype has died down, it is possible to see which restaurants are actually good and which are merely noisy and crowded.Most people are about as happy as they set their mind to being, Lincoln said. In Paris it doesn’t take much to be happy. Outside the hotel, the sky was pale and felt very high up. I walked the few blocks to the Seine and began running along the blue-green river toward the Eiffel Tower. The tower in the distance was black, and felt strange and beautiful the way that many things built for the joy of building do. As I ran toward it, because of its lattice structure, the tower seemed obviously delicate. Seeing it, I felt a sense of protectiveness.I think it was this moment of protectiveness that marked the change in my mood and my slowly becoming thrilled with being in Paris.During winter evenings, Paris’s streetlamps have a halo and resemble dandelions. In winter, when one leaves the Paris Street and enters a café or restaurant, the light and temperature change suddenly and dramatically, there is the sense of having discovered something secret. In winter, because the days are short, there is an urgency to the choices one makes. There is the sense that life is short and so let us decide on what matters.1. According to the passage, once in Paris one might experience all the following feelings EXCEPT ____.2. Winter is the best season to visit Paris. Which of the following does NOT support this statement?3. “Most people are about as happy as they set their mind to being.” This statement means that most people _.4. In the eyes of the author, winter in Paris is significant because of _.5. At the end of the passage, the author found himself in a mood of ____.

The energy crunch, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the reckless despoiling of the earth’s resources has brought the whole world to brink of disaster. The over development of motor transport, with its spiral of more cars, more highway, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities, the disintegration of the family, and the pollution not only of local air, but also of the earth’s atmosphere. The catastrophe has arrived in the form of the energy crunch.Our present situation is unlike war, revolution or depression. It is also unlike the great natural catastrophes of the past. Worldwide resources exploitation and energy use have brought us to a state where long-range planning is crucial. What we need is not a continuation of our present perilous state, which endangers the future of our country, our children and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.This country has been reeling under the continuing exposures of loss of moral integrity and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in the land. There is a strong demand for moral reinvigoration and for some commitment that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the loyalty of all. In the past it has been only in a war in defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to invoke a total commitment.This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course and to devise new methods through which the world can survive. This is a priceless opportunity.To grasp it, we need a widespread understanding of nature of the crisis confronting us—and the world—a crisis that is no passing inconvenience, no by-product of the ambitions of the oil-producing countries, no figment of environmentalists’ fears, no byproduct of any present system of government. What we face is the outcome of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed lifestyle. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on an overriding commitment to a higher quality of life for the world’s children and future generation.1. According to the author, the energy crisis has led the world close to _.2. What does the author think has contributed to the near disaster of our cities?3. Which of the following indicates our loss of moral integrity according to the passage?4. By comparing past with present, the author wants to draw people’s attention to the __.5. Which of the following commitments does the author feel people need to make?

Over the last decade, demand for the most common cosmetic surgery procedures, like breast enlargements and nose jobs, has increased by more than 400 percent. According to Dr. Dai Davies, of the Plastic Surgery Partnership in Hammersmith, the majority of cosmetic surgery patients are not chasing physical perfection. Rather, they are driven to fantastic lengths to improve their appearance by a desire to look normal. “What we all crave is to look normal, and normal is what is prescribed by the advertising media and other external pressures. They give us a perception of what is physically acceptable and we feel we must look like that.”In America, the debate is no longer about whether surgery is normal; rather, it centres on what age people should be before going under the knife. New York surgeon Dr. Gerard Imber recommends “maintenance” work for people in their thirties. “The idea of waiting until one needs a heroic transformation is silly,” he says. “By then, you’ve wasted 20 great years of your life and allowed things to get out of hand.” Dr. Imber draws the line at operating on people who are under 18, however. “It seems that someone we don’t consider old enough to order a drink shouldn’t be considering plastic surgery.”In the UK cosmetic surgery has long been seen as the exclusive domain of the very rich and famous. But the proportionate cost of treatment has fallen substantially, bringing all but the most advanced laser technology within the reach of most people. Dr. Davies, who claims to “cater for the average person”, agrees. He says: “I treat a few of the rich and famous and an awful lot of secretaries. Of course, £3,000 for an operation is a lot of money. But it is also an investment for life which costs about half the price of a good family holiday.”Dr. Davies suspects that the increasing sophistication of the fat injecting and removal techniques that allow patients to be treated with a local anaesthetic in an afternoon has also helped promote the popularity of cosmetic surgery. Yet, as one woman who recently paid £2,500 for liposuction to remove fat from her thighs admitted, the slope to becoming a cosmetic surgery Veteran is a deceptively gentle one. “I had my legs done because they’d been bugging me for years. But going into the clinic was so low key and effective it whetted my appetite. Now I don’t think there’s any operation that I would rule out having if I could afford it.”1. According to the text, the reason for cosmetic surgery is to ___.2. According to Paragraph 3, Dr. Davies implies that _.3. There is a hot debate in America about .4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?5. The text is mainly about _.
