9、bourne, Australia, who was working at the magazine Black Book and also lived in Brooklyn. One of her friends saw the sketched picture on the Web site and recognized her.But after finding each other, appearing on TV and getting international press, the couple took their romance out of the public eye,

10、 with Moberg closing down the Web site and with both refusing to make any more commentsuntil now.Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didnt work out.“I say we dated for a while but now were just friends,” Hayton, now 23, told th

11、e newspaper. Hayton said she is still recognized about three times a week on the streets of Manhattan as “that girl” and the question is always the same: “So what happened?”“I think the situation was so intense that it linked us,” she said, adding, “it linked us in a way that you could mistake, I gu

13、aitress in the long-running daytime soap As the World Turns.“I just cant believe it happened. It feels like a long time ago,” said Hayton.

17、opted by a much larger tribethe business tribe.You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who

18、wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didnt wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.“Ties offer a point of difference，” says J

19、ohn Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers. “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colo

20、red socks.Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among entrepreneurs(企业家) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders，including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the peoplebut no

21、t the people wearing ties.Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat in fact his nickname was“hatless Jack”. Se

22、eing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either.

25、. people will wear hats instead of ties CIn todays world of cell phones, mini laptops and MP5 players, most people have at least one time-telling tool with them. Since these devices are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, yes. New Jersey teenager C

26、harlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function”. Many young adults agree and use their cell phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroad

27、s. However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s.

Todays watches offer lots o

29、f features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, lunar calendars, and even USB drives.Creativity is a key element in todays watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that dont even look like watches. The companys popular Shinshoku model uses dif

30、ferent color lights to tell the time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch.
