Even those who have mastered the difference between a wool and a synthetics（化学合成物）wash admit being baffled by the confusing array（排列）of boxes, circles and crosses used to give advice about drying and bleaching（漂白）.The findings come from a poll of 2,000 people carried out by YouGov for Morphy Richards. A third of people surveyed said that they recognized none of the several symbols shown, while the only symbol recognized by more than half of people was the iron with a single dot. Around 70 per cent knew it meant "iron on a low heat". Just 10 per cent sign knew the sign for "do not dry clean", while only 12 per cent were familiar with "drip dry only".Despite the sexual revolution, women are still more knowledgeable than men. Awareness was highest among 18 to 29-year-old women-for whom taking care of clothes is clearly important.Chris Lever, from Morphy Richards, said: "Clothes Care symbols are a unique language, clearly a language that few people in the UK have taken the time to learn.""Learning the basics such as which icon represents tumble dry and which represents normal wash would go a long way to getting the best out of clothes."The Home Laundering Consultative Council said it was not surprised to learn that people were unfamiliar with them."It's disappointing that there is a lack of recognition, but it's a story that's repeated time and time again," said a spokesman, Adam Mansell. "We are a small organization and we don't have a big budget."1.

Which of the following can be recognized by the majority of people? A B C D3. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. Washing clothes is damaging them if we dont know about some symbols used on clothes labels.B. Washing clothes is also a cultured knowledge.C. More and more people devote much time to studying these symbols used on clothes labels.D. Clothes Care symbols are a unique language, which few people spend time to learn.B If you are in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I point, I suggest. I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go. In the 1986 movie, “Nothing in Common”, Jackie Gleasons character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot on a boat, shows Maxs despair about being out of work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings.Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Finally I decided to direct by suggestion, and sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. “So Max is sad, right?” I said.Gleason nodded.“And hes probably still carrying his pens with name on themthe ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”Gleason nodded.“So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?”He was silent for a moment. “Why dont I throw them overboard?”I stood up and turned up and turned toward the crew. “Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Lets shoot it.”After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile. “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?”You and your team can discover the answers to problems together.
