The simplest way to say it is this：I believe in my mother．My  31 began when 1 was just a kid . I 32 be coming a doctor．

My mother was a domestic．Through her work，she observed that  33 people spent a lot more time reading than they  34   watching television．She announced that my brother and I  35  watch two to three pre—selected TV programs during the week．  With our free time，we each had to read two books from the Detroit Public Library and  36 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights．Years later we realized her marks were a  37 ．My mother was a domestic

When I entered high school I was a(n)  38  ，but not for long．I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to 39 the guys．I went from being an A -student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from 40 her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said ,“Okay，I’ll give you all the money I make this week by scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms，  and you can buy 41  food and pay the bills．With everything  42 ，you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want．”I was very  43  with that arrangement，but once I got through allocating money，there was  44  left．I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to 45  our heads and any kind of food on the table， 46 buy clothes．I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation．I went back to my 47  and became an A-student again，and eventually I  48  my dream and became a doctor.

My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with  49  formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. There is no job  50 than parenting．This I believe .

 Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” 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 sports shirt---to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m 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 to work 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” of “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 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 improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact 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.”
