11、er. When they were first designed, it is also likely that all uniforms made symbolic sense those for the military, for example, were originally _41_ to impress and even terrify the enemy; other uniforms indicated a distinction in _42_ chefs wore white because they worked with flour, but the main che
12、f wore a black hat to show he inspected and supervised.The last 30 years, however, have seen an increasing _43_ on their role in mirroring the image of an organization and in uniting the workforce, particularly in “customer facing” industries. From uniforms and workwear has emerged “_44_ clothing”.
13、“The people you employ are your ambassadors (大使),” says Peter Griffin, managing director of a major retailer in the UK. “What they say, how they look, and how they behave is of vital importance.” From being a simple means of _45_ who is a member of staff, the uniform is emerging as a new channel of
14、marketing communication. Truly effective marketing through _46_ images such as uniforms is a subtle art, however. How we look sends all sorts of powerful messages to other people. Dark colours give a sense of _47_ while lighter colour shades suggest approachability. Certain dress style creates a sen
15、se of conservatism (守旧), while others a sense of _48_ to new ideas. If the company is selling quality, then it must have quality uniforms. If it is selling style, its uniforms must be stylish. If it wants to appear _49_, everybody cant look exactly the same. But turning corporate philosophies into t
16、he right combination of colour, style, degree of branding and uniformity is not always _50_. According to Company Clothing magazine, there are 1000 companies supplying the workwear and corporate clothing market. Of these, 22 _51_ for 85% of total sales 380 million in 1994.A successful uniform needs

The greatest challenge in this respect is time. When it comes to human awareness, first impressions cou

Those few seconds can be so important that big companies are prepared to _55_ years, and millions of pounds, getting them right. 41.A. intendedB. tendedC. extendedD. atten

The international list of invasive speciesdefined as those that were introduced by humans to new places, and then _41_ runs to over 4,000. In Australia and New Z
22、ealand hot war is fought against introduced creatures like cane toads (蔗蟾蜍) and rats. Some things that are uncontroversial (无争议的) are nonetheless foolish. With a few important exceptions, campaigns to _42_ invasive species are merely a waste of money and effort for reasons that are partly practical
23、and partly philosophical. Start with the practical arguments. Most invasive species are neither terribly successful nor very_43_. Britons think themselves surrounded by foreign plants. _44_, Britains invasive plants are not widespread, not spreading especially quickly, and often less of a(n) _45_ th
24、an vigorous native plants. The arrival of new species almost always _46_ biological diversity (多样性) in a region; in many cases, a flood of newcomers drives no native species to extinction. One reason is that invaders tend to colonise _47_ habitats like polluted lakes and post-industrial wasteland, w
25、here little else lives. They are natures opportunists.The philosophical reason for starting war on the invaders is also _48_. Elimination campaigns tend to be _49_ by the belief that it is possible to restore balance to nature to return woods and lakes to the state before human _50_. That is misguid
26、ed. Nature is an everlasting mess, with species constantly emerging, withdrawing and hybridizing (杂交). Humans have only quickened these processes. Going back to ancient habitats is becoming _51_ in any case, because of man-made climate change. Taking on the invaders is a(n) _52_ gesture, not a means
27、 to an achievable end.A reasonable attitude to invaders need not imply passivity. A few foreign species are truly _53_ and should be fought: the Nile perch a fish, has helped drive many species of fish to extinction in Lake Victoria. It makes sense to _54_ pathogens (病菌), especially those that destr
