Many people did not hear of the change, some merely forgot, and others chose to ignore it. These people were called fools. Invitations to nonexistent New Year parties were sent and other practical jokes were played. Over time playing tricks on 1 April became a tradition. The custom eventually spread to England and Scotland, and it was later transported across the Atlantic to the American colonies (殖民地) of the English and the French.

Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not. A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for panies to discourage visible tattoos (紋身)，nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can39。t judge a book by its cover, yet people do cover themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do panies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept. Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money.

A.Candidates have to wear what panies prefer for an interview.B.Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.C.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for panies.（3）Which of the follo
