One of the problems career people(上班族) have in the morning is dressing for the office when there will be an evening party immediately followed, with no time to return home to change. The easiest solution is to keep a full set of toiletries (洗漱用品) and make-ups stored somewhere at the office. A woman going to an evening party should dress in one of her “basic dresses” in the morning—the kind that can change into a different look with an added scarf or jewelry. In fifteen minutes, when her office day has ended, she can metamorphose(徹底變化) herself into another person with freshly cleaned teeth, combed hair, a new face, a different and dressier(漂亮的) pair of shoes, and some sparkling jewelry. If she must wear a long dress for the party, she should bring it to the office in a protective bag and store it safely until she has to put it on.

1.What’s a problem for the career people from this passage?

A. They must wear uniforms at work.

B. They have no dresses to wear.

C. They often have no time to change clothes for an evening party after work.

D. They have to go to the party.

2. The easiest solution is ____.

A. to keep a full set of toiletries and make-ups stored somewhere at the office

B. not to go to the party

C. to take a taxi home

D. to finish work earlier

3. If a woman is going to a party, she should wear ____ in the morning.

A. a nice dress B. a “basic dress”    C. her uniform        D. casual clothes

4. How long does it take a woman to change herself at least?

A. About five minutes. B. About fifteen minutes.

5.If a woman must wear a long dress for the party, she should ____.

A. wear it in the morning                  B. buy one in the shop
