It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful quiet island. "iPhone, iPhone, iPhone," my son kept moaning (呻吟). In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it.

阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案.
Mark Zuckerberg, who starts the social network Facebook, often wears jeans and a T﹣shirt to work, including to important business meetings. Not everyone agrees with him. Some people say he doesn't look serious this way.
Harvard Business School researcher, Franccsca Gino, has a different idea. While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence, she believes it can actually have a positive(积极的) effect. And she's done experiments to support her idea. When her researchers, wearing sportswear, visited the expensive shops an Italy, they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well﹣dressed in designer clothes.
Do people always view less formal(正式的) clothing more positively? Researchers in France took their research out into the street, to the general public. The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well﹣cut suit and shiny shoes. While walking along the road, he begins to cough badly, stops to catch his breath and falls down. Before he even calls for help, people rush to help him. In another video, the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way. But this time, no one comes to help. What's the difference? He's wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person. In a situation like this, the clothes you're wearing could mean the difference between life and death.
It seems that our clothing doesn't only change the way others view us, but also the way we see ourselves. In an experiment testing students' ability to pay attention to details(细节), the group wearing white lab coats did the best.Why? Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors coats. The experiment didn't show whether such influences would last long. More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors' coats a must of fashion.

If you go shopping in any toy store,you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls:there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls;and dark﹣ colored cars,guns,and soldiers for boys.Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys.In fact,it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.
Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls.Sue Palmer,writer of Toxic Childhood, is very
worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color.According to some scientists,this happens for two reasons.Firstly,most companies offer too many products in pink.Also,many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink.Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves,but the pink can affect (影响) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.
Some parents are worried too﹣﹣ for example,Vanessa Holburn,thirty﹣two,who has two girls under the age of four.Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy."Pink says that you are soft and gentle.Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful.I′m worried that pink will not help them with that, "she says.
But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink.Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. "People forget that things change all the time," he says. "My girls used to love pink when they were little,but as they get older,they change. "Turner explains that his twelve﹣year﹣old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change, "he adds, "It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink﹣﹣ before that it was a color for boys."
