II. Read the passage and answer the questions (2.5pts)
Clothes can tell a lot about a person. Some people like very colorful clothes because they want every one to look at them and they want to be the centre of things. Other people like to wear nice clothes, but their clothes are not colorful or fancy. They don`t 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 the 1800s all women wore dresses. The dresses all had long skirts. But today women don`t always 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 clothes. They were made from cotton, wood, silk or linen. But today, there are many kinds of man made cloth. A lot of clothes are now made from linon, rayon, or polyester.
