(B)

People started wearing clothes to protect themselves from the sun, wind, rain and cold. People said that many years ago the first kind of clothes were made of animal skins. Today we use different materials.

But clothes do more than keep us warm. Our clothes can also tell about who we are, our culture, life and hobbies. For example, if we like to wear yellow or pink clothes, we are usually active and easy--going. If we like black and blue, we may be quiet people. As a middle school student, we often wear the school clothes. Someone who works in a bank may wear a suit every day.
