II. Read the text, then answer the questions below it. (1.5 pts)
Clothes can tell a lot about person. Some people like very colorful clothes because they want
everyone to look at them and they want to be the center of things. Others like to wear nice clothes, but
their clothes are not colorful or fancy. They do not like people to look at them. Clothes today are very
different from the clothes of the 1800s. One difference is the way they look. For example, in 1800s, all

women wore dress. The dresses all had long skirts. But today, women do not wear dresses with long
skirts. Sometimes they wear short skirts. Sometimes they wear pants. Another difference between
1800s and today is the cloth. In the 1800s, clothes were made only from natural kinds of cloth. They
were made from cotton, wool, silk. But today, there are many kinds of man-made cloth. A lot of clothes
are now made from nylon, rayon or polyester.
