14．Group-buying in China
Modeled after US hot website Groupon．com，group buying websites are now popular in China．These websites use the power of group buying to get competitive discounts （打折）for a daily deal on some best stuff to do，see，eat and buy in the cities across China．Discounts are available within just one click．Zhao lei，a software engineer in Beijing，loves the one-hour lunch break at noon，as it is the best time for him to check"today′s special"at his favorite group buying websites．Sometimes he searches for great deals at directory sites devoted to the new shopping space．Zhao spends around 800yuan（$117.65）on group buying every month，mostly to buy food coupons （優(yōu)惠劵）for eating at some nice restaurants and occasionally to find something fun to do．"I love group buying．In addition to the competitive discounts it offers，it helps me get something fun，exciting and new，and such surprises give me a reason to try something new，"he said．When he finds a really good bargain，he will send the link to friends or colleagues through MSN，QQ，or e-mail，or share the information at some social networking websites．In doing so，he often gets a certain cut off the price．At some sites，buyers are invited to leave notes about what they want to buy and the website will consider it if similar applications（申請(qǐng)）reach a certain number．That is how Zuo got her digital camera after waiting for two months．"It is cool．I want to buy a new digitgal camera for my trip to Switzerland this winter，but I never expected such cheap prices!"Zuo said．

19．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 a sports shirt-to the office．He hardly ever wears a necktie．"I am 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"or"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（保守的）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，85percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士氣）．Only 4percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence 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．"

33．David Smith refers to himself as having been"a clothes addict，"becauseC．
A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B．he couldn't stand a clean appearance
C．he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D．he didn't want to spend much money on clothes
34．David Smith wears casual clothes now，becauseA．
A．they make him feel at ease when working
B．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C．he looks handsome in casual clothes
D．he no longer works for any company
35．In this passage，the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPTB．
A．saving employees'money
B．making employees more attractive
