Lindbergh, an American pilot, was born on February 4,1902, in Detroit.He grew up on a farm near Little Falls, Mississippi.In his childhood, Lindbergh showed unusual mechanical ability.At the age of 18, he entered the University of Wisconsin to study engineering.However, Lindbergh was more interested in the exciting, young field of air travel than he was in school.After two years, he left school to become a pilot performing dangerous tricks.

After the flight，Lindbergh published We，a book about his flight.The title referred to Lindbergh and his plane.Then, he flew throughout the United States to make speeches to encourage air travel on behalf of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics (航空学)．Lindbergh learned about the pioneer rocket research of Robert H．Goddard, a Clark University physics professor.Lindbergh persuaded the

Guggenheim family to support Goddard's experiments, which later led to the development of missiles, satellites, and space travel.

Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, Lindbergh took part in the activities against American involvement (参与) in World War Ⅱ.Many Americans criticized him for this.After the war, he served as an adviser in the aircraft industry.

Throughout the world, clothing has many uses.It is used to provide protection from the elements.It is also worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of one's body.However, the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world.Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural（神奇的）protection.Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.

People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status, intentions and other messages.In North America, we dress differently for business and various leisure activities.North American women are usually much more knowledgeable of and concerned with little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men.At times, this leads to silly mistakes of interpretation of female intentions on the part of men.Of course, clothing styles are also intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender (性别)．

Long before we are near enough to talk to someone, their appearance tells their gender, age, economic class, and often even intentions.We begin to recognize the important cultural clues at an early age.The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles，jewellery, and other body decoration.In most cultures, however, the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age，gender，and physical appearance of the individual wearing it.

Putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you.This can be the case with a doctor's white lab coat, or an army uniform.Most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status.For instance, the strange hairstyle and clothing of the English “punks” are essential aspects of their uniforms.

There are many forms of body decoration other than clothes that are used around the world to send messages.These include body and hair paint, and even body deformation（损伤）.When doctors put braces on teeth, they are actually doing the same thing—deforming of reforming（改进）a part of the body to make it more attractive.

33．Some people wear lucky shirts to take an exam because they believe________.

A．clothes have extraordinary power

B．clothes can hide their fear for the exam

C．shirts can make them more comfortable

D．shirts provide protection against bad weather

34．In North America, men sometimes misunderstand women's intention because________.

A．men are more careless than women

B．women spend more time on their clothes

C．men and women have different views on clothing styles

D．men are careless about the different messages communicated by clothes

35．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．Clothing and Culture B．Communication through Clothing

C．Clothing and Social Behavior D．Ways of Sending Messages
