　　97、根据以下资料，回答97-116题：

　　The business suit has for a long time been the uniform for male office workers.But it is not very satisfactory.

　　For a start, it means that all men look the same, give or take their ties.

　　But that is not the only problem: at the height of summer the business suit is hot and stuffy, restricting movement, and-~since the suit must always be worn with a tie---it demands tightness at the neck that cause sun necessary discomfort and irritation.

　　Women in offices are free to wear what they please, within certain limits.Some women wear business suits, too; but these are usually less formal and, most importantly, they are designed to show off the feminine shape to advantage.The same cannot be said for the male suit.Most men look unattractive in them.They are shapeless, lumpy and dull in color and do nothing for the male physique.A male office worker's only way of expressing himself in this boring business uniform is through his selection of ties.The tie becomes his outward sign of inner personality. Unfortunately, few men have any sense of style and fewer still stop to ponder what their personality is really like.For this reason, many male office workers go to work in appallingly loud, garish ties, in the mistaken belief that they look good.

　　Add to all this is the problem of cleaning a man's suit.Do men actually dean them at all? A private (and not very scientific) study of male office workers indicates that they do not.Unlike their female counterparts, who are always taking clothes to the dry-cleaners even when they have only been worn once in the past three weeks, men send their suits to the cleaners perhaps once a season.And yet most men wear the same suit several days a week, with just a change of shirt and tie for variety.

　　Why do men not rebel and find some other way of dressing at the office? Well, they have thought this problem through very carefully.They realize how many hours they can save from their morning routine by wearing the same clothes day in, day out.Whereas the average female office worker takes time to plan what she will wear in the morning before ironing her outfit and finding coordinating fashion accessories, all a man has to do is leap out of bed, fumble around in the closet for his underwear and the first available shirt that hasn't had tomato sauce dripped down its front, select a tie at random (only the most fastidious attempt a color match between suit, shirt and tie)and step into the trousers that have been draped across the back of an armchair in the bedroom the previous night.Simple.Now, where did he leave his shoes and socks?

　　The author seems to say that __

　　A.few men have any sense of style and taste in clothing

　　B.women don't feel fond of suits

　　C.wearing suits requires no thought and gives men extra time

　　D.suits cause unnecessary discomfort and irritation

　　98、Women's business suits are different from men's in that

　　A.they are not dull in color

　　B.they do not have any limit about the style

　　C.they are usually formal and attractive

　　D.they are designed to show off the feminine shape

　　99、What does the writer say about the cleaning of business suits?

　　A.Women wash their suits every day.
