That's according to Giselle Barry, a woman who works in the United States Congress(国会).She surprised lots of people by starting an email to a group of journalists(记者)with the words "Hey, folks."Ms Barry thinks "Dear" is too intimate and makes it sound like you have a personal relationship with the person you are writing to.It seems she's not alone.

The color of the moment is red---bright and brave.Nowadays, most of us wear what we choose. But things were very different in the past.In 15th-century England, only the rich and powerful were allowed to wear the red.

The chemicals that turned cloth red were expensive then---so only rich and powerful people could buy red clothing.Red also had other, more negative(负面的)meanings for women. So Queen Elizabeth I often wore white as a symbol of her purity(纯洁)---and Queen Elizabeth II wore a white dress for her coronation(加冕仪式).But times are changing, and these days, women can wear their favorite shade of red without fear. Even the Queen is wearing red in public, and it is one of Princess Kate's favorite colors.()26.
