Ceasing to Wear Ties

1 It's useless.It's dirty.It spreads disease.That's why the British Medical Association in
the UK recently called for hospital doctors to stop wearing ties.
2 That leads to another question.Why does anyone wear a tie?Ties serve no purpose.
They do not cover any part of your body and keep you warm.They always seem to get
covered in food stains.Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie.It lets everyone know what
you just ate.
3 Ties have an odd history.Soldiers from Croatia,in Eastern Europe,served as
mercenaries（雇佣军）in various conflicts in the 17th century.They were identified by brightly
colored pieces of silk worn around the neck.Known as cravats（围巾）,these became a
popular fashion item in France and eventually evolved into the tie.
4 It's an interesting story,but it doesn't tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth
or silk around their necks.The answer seems to be about identification（身份证明）.In the
19^th-century Britain,ties were used by universities,military regiments（团）,sports clubs,
schools and gentleman's clubs.Each tie was in a particular set of colors which identified the
wearer as a member of that organization.Wearing ties was also the mark of Britain's most
powerful classes.That made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect.And that led it to
be adopted by a much larger class一the business class.
5 You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery.So wearing a tie became a sign that
you were a man who used his brain to make a living,rather than his hands.It showed you
were serious.It showed you were a professional.It meant that everyone who wanted a job
in business had to wear one.It was just impossible to take seriously a man who did not wear
a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millions of people came to wear ties
across the world.
6 Is there a future for ties?The signs are not promising.Many political leaders,including
British Prime Minister Tony Blair,now go without ties.

The British Medical Association suggested that________.
A:they were workmen
B:they were members of different organizations
C:hospital doctors stop wearing ties
D:who does not always wear a tie
E:who served as mercenaries in many conflicts in the 1 7th century
F:who does not want to live like a king

Questions 19~22 refer to the following memo
Glenford Manufacturing, Inc.
Official Communication
From: Sean Carmichael, Operations Department
To:Inna Tucker, Sales Department Manager
The monthly sales staff meeting has been relocated from auditorium 3 to room 402. Auditorium 3 will be undergoing repairs from April 8-15, which is why it will be unavailable for your usual meeting on the 10th.
Room 402 contains the same audiovisual capabilities as auditorium 3, but its seating capacity is smaller. It can only fit 65 people comfortably, whereas the auditorium can do over 100.
If this change is unacceptable, there are two alternatives. First, auditorium 2 is available on the afternoon of the 10th. It holds as many people as auditorium 3, but it has really outdated electronic equipment compared to auditorium 3. And second, if the meeting is rescheduled for after the 15th, the newly refurbished auditorium 3 will be available to you.
Please contact me or another member of the operations department if you wish to change your current room reservation.
Thank you and have a nice day.

What is the purpose of the memo?

A. To communicate a change in meeting arrangements
B. To request the relocation of a company event
C. To discuss the details of some construction work
D. To notify a manager of an upcoming staff reduction
