    　　Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young, she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also travelled a great deal with her mother and father.

    　　As a child, she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. At last her mind was made up: “I'm going to be a nurse,” she decided.

    　　“Nursing isn't the right work for a lady,” her father told her.

         Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict (有瘾的
    人)" he jokes."I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled (皱的)." Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and a sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a
    necktie. "I am working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable." More and more
    companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes. In the United States, the change from
    formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees
    to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual
    Friday"."What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday
    thing," said a business consultant (顾问) Maisly Jones.
         Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is
    that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.""A lot of young people
    don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you
    have a conservative (保守的) dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive
    when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss Company, 85 percent of
    employers believe that casual dress has a negative influence on morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers
    hold the opinion that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear
    also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one
    every day," one person said. "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."
