听力原文：W: So, you'll be getting dressed up later--before you go to the BBC television studios.

M: Yes, but to tell you the truth, Mary, I prefer working in radio.

W: You prefer radio？

M: That's right. You can dress down in a radio studio.

W: What do you mean？

M: You can dress down. You can wear something casual. There's no need to get dressed up.

W: Well, I always try to make an effort to look smart!

M: Yes, of course, you always look fantastic, Mary. But you don't have to dress up for radio. The audience can't see you.

W: Ah, I see what you mean. In TV the audience can see you, so you have to look your best.

M: Exactly. You have to dress up. You put on something smart so you look the part.

W: Yes. I suppose if you're on TV, you have to look like a TV presenter; you have to be dressed right.

M: But in radio, the listeners can't see you so we can dress down if we want to.

W: Yes. That's why I sometimes wear jeans to work.

M: Exactly. On radio, I can take off my tie! I can even take off my shoes!

W: I don't think so! You don't have to wear your tie--you can take that off if you want to, but please don't take off your shoes!

ortune in the gold fields. But strangely enough, this man made his fortune on heavy canvas that he found suitable for working clothes. Strauss'jeans were particularly good for prospectors and cowboys. In the early days of jeans, this man couldn't have guessed that his pants, made only for rough work, would become so popular at ail levels of society. Yes, this is a fact: jeans have become fashionable in our society. Furthermore, these pants have come to symbolize changes in social attitude.

In the last decade or two we have seen movements toward equality as well as defiance of authority. Jeans, now worn by everybody, can be said to symbolize these changes for the better. In the past, only men wore jeans, and these men were at the bottom—socially and economically. Jeans were worn by truck drivers, farm and factory workers. Today, jeans no longer are looked down upon. They are worn by both men and women, by both skilled and unskilled workers, by both employees and employers. This common way of dressing symbolizes respect for individuality, no matter what your occupation or sex. In the fight against authority, young people have been the leaders. So it is natural that teenagers would defy parents and school administrators over the right to wear jeans to class and win. Jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers, fans at rock concerts, "hippies" returning to nature, and serious college students. Because everyone can be comfortable in them, the blue jeans invented for the use of workers are now accepted almost anywhere, anytime. This is true not only in the United States, but in many other countries in the world. I strongly agree with the following statement: "Old or new, glorified or plain, jeans are likely to be around for a long time to come. Already they have succeeded where statesmanship has failed. Although unable to speak the same language, the inhabitants of this embattled planet have at least agreed to wear the same pants."

to it. When I used to get dressed to go out I would put on a T-shirt and sneakers and feel great, but when I would walk into a bar and every girl around me was in heels and a mini dress, I often felt like the odd girl out. Anytime I was “dressed down” I would be told that I’d look better if I had makeup on, or was asked, “Is that really what you’re wearing？” So I learned to qualify it. “Oh, I didn’t bring anything nicer with me.” "Sorry I’m not really dressed. I came straight from work." The truth is that I feel comfortable in jeans and I don’t like to change before I go out. There's nothing wrong with that. Then why did I feel like there was？ Part of it has to do with clothing options marketed to women and girls. What was available “for just us girls”？ Usually it’s pink, frilly, or feminine. But I never felt those things were made for me or appealed to me. I decided to stop letting it get to me. In the past when I would get dressed for a date, I would try on multiple outfits. The first was what I wanted to wear on my date. The second was what my friends would tell me to wear. As I stood in front of the mirror, I would feel the frustration well up. I never want a guy that would want me in heels all the time. So I’d take off the dress that I had on — the one I thought I should wear — and put on what I was actually most comfortable wearing. And you know what？ As soon as I did, I realized how great I looked. Girls who look unapologetically themselves are the best type of girls.
