The business suit has for a long time been the uniform for male office workers. But it is not very satisfactory. For a start, it means that all men look the same, give or take their ties.
But that is not the only problem: at the height of summer the business suit is hot and stuffy, restricting movement, and-since the suit must always be worn with a tie--it demands tightness at the neck that causes unnecessary discomfort and irritation.
Women in offices are flee to wear what they please, within certain limits. Some women wear business suits, too; but these are usually less formal and, most importantly, they are designed to show off the feminine shape to advantage. The same cannot be said for the male suit.

The National Marine Fisheries Service announced on March 16, 1999, that it was extending Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections to nine populations of wild salmon and steelhead in Washington and Oregon. The move is believed to be the broadest application of the law in its 26-year history and the first listing to affect urban regions.
Wild salmon, once hugely abundant in the Pacific Northwest and still a recognized symbol of the region, have declined sharply in numbers in recent decades as development, logging, and hydroelectric dams have degraded the fish’s habitat. Wild salmon are salmon that were never bred in a hatchery. Most Pacific salmon and steelhead (a type of large, seagoing rainbow trout) need clear, gravel-bottomed streams and rivers when spawning and during the early stages of life. According to the Fisheries Service, on the Columbia River, chum salmon runs are between 1,500 and 4,000 fish annually, compared to as many as 500,000 before 1944. On the Wi

[单项选择]The toxin produced by certain marine snails contains various proteins, one of which, when injected into mice, made mice aged two weeks or younger fall asleep and made older mice run for hiding places.
When mice are suddenly seriously threatened, very young ones react by staying perfectly still, whereas older ones run away.
The facts stated above provide the strongest support for which of the following working hypotheses
A. The reaction of mice to sudden, serious threats is triggered by a chemical produced by the body, and this chemical is similar to the protein that was injected into the mice.
B. The protein contained in snail toxin that was injected into the mice ordinarily has the primary function of protecting snails by inducing in those snails complete immobility.
C. The protein that was injected into the mice would have made the mature mice fall asleep, too, if they had been injected with larger doses.
D. Very young mice are as likely to be exposed to sudden serious threats as are older mice.
E. (E) Very young mice are not developed enough to deal appropriately with even the stimuli that they are most likely to encounter.
