These days most people in Britain and the U. S. A. do not wear very formal(正式的，庄重的) clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right clothes.

Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they want to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theaters, cinemas and concerts you can wear whatever you like. From

beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes as long as (只要) you look clean and tidy（整洁的）.

But in Britain and the U. S. A. , men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses.

In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home or on holidays, most Americans wear uniforms or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes.

It’s hard to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the U. S. A. , because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch first and then do the same. You’ll feel more comfortable if you don’t look too different from everyone else. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
