TEXT A

　 Throughout the world, clothing has many uses. It is used to provide protection from the elements. It also is worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of one’s body. However, the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world. Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural protection. Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.

　 People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status,

Intentions, and other messages. In North America, we dress differently for business and various leisure activities. North American women usually ae much more knowledgeable of and concerned with little difference in messages communicated by clothes than are men. At times, this leads to silly mistakes of interpetation of female intentions on the part of men. Of course, clothing styles also are intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender(性别)

　 Long before we are near enough to talk to someone, their appearance tells their gender, age, economic class, and often even intentions. We begin to recognize the important cultural clues at an early age. The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles, jewelry , and other body decoration. In most cultures, however, the same style of dress communicates different messages depending o the age, gender, and physical appearance of the individual wearing it.

　 Putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you. This can be the case with a doctor’s white lab coat, or an army uniform. Most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status. For instance, the strange hairstyle and clothing of the English “punkers”are essential aspects of their uniforms.

　 There are many forms of body decoration other than clothed that are used around the world to send messages. These include body and hair paint, and even body deformation. When doctors put braces on teeth , they are actually doing the same thing-deforming or reforming a part of the body to make it more attractive.
