3．When asked why he or she wears clothes，some people will probably answer "to keep warm and to cover my body"．These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn，but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others．
If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies，most clothes would be simple and cheap．In most Western countries，however，clothes are sometimes very expensive．The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes．The clothes are expensive because of fashion（时尚）．
Successful businessmen，for example，often wear very expensive suits，shirts and ties．Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie．It's just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer．A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well．
Fashion is always changing，which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months，even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice．Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion．Being fashionable，therefore，can be a very expensive pastime（消遣）!
（1）What do people basically wear clothes for？
A．Looking attractive to others．
B．Following the fashion．
C．Appearing successful to others．
D．Keeping warm and covering bodies．
（2）We can learn from the passage that．
A．fashion is an expensive pastime．
B．fashion is not always changing
C．expensive clothes are warmer
D．fashion designers like expensive clothes

A．Fashionable clothes shops．
