2017高考英语阅读练习题5
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中。
A
Working as a manager in the head office of a bank, as I do, clothes can be a nightmare. In New York, where I worked for a time last summer, you have to brave the burning heat every time you dare to go outside, yet freeze once you arrive in a meeting with the air-conditioner turned up.
