     For some people, it's easy to get dressed for work. Pilots and police officers, for example, don't have
to make decisions about their work clothes. They wear uniforms to work every day.
     For many office workers, however, it is more difficult to choose clothes for work. They do not wear
uniforms to the office. Also, many organizations are changing their dress codes. They are allowing their
employees (員工) to wear casual clothes to work. 
    The change to casual (隨意的) work clothes began in the 1990s. At first, many companies (公司) in
the United States allowed employees to wear casual clothes on one day of the week - Friday. Friday became
"Casual Friday" or "Dress-down Friday". Today, however, many companies are allowing their employees
to wear casual clothes every day of the week.
     Why are companies allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? Some studies show that people
are producing and achieving more when they are wearing comfortable clothes. Some companies also like
the casual dress code because they don't need to buy special clothes for work. They can save money this
way.
     Unfortunately, a casual dress code can also cause problems. Sometimes employees dress too casually.
They think they can wear anything. Many companies have rules (要求) about casual clothes. They list the
kinds of clothes that are not "business-casual" clothes. Blue jeans, sandals, and sportswear are examples
of clothes that are usually too casual for the office.

       Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water
into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?
        In some places, the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day. In such places, other ways of
heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling sea
water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.
        But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is
freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes (冷至結(jié)冰) first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out. 
        Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way
for each place.
        Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It doesn't make very much water at a time. But the
factory is easy to build and costs little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi!
