TASK 4 For many years T-shirts were simple short-sleeved under shirts for men and boys, T-shirts used to be of one color－white, and since they were worn under shirts, they were generally not seen. Today the T-shirt has become fashionable. It can be seen everywhere and everyone. Women and little children wear T-shirts, as do teenagers, university students and men from all walks of life. T-shirts are worn on playground, at the beach or in town. They can also be worn for work. Yet T-shirts remain inexpensive and long wearing, as well as easy to care for, smart but comfortable, and convenient to wear. They have become one of the American’s newest ideas on fashion. Although T-shirts are now available in a wide variety of bright materials and styles, the most popular kind is the traditional cotton T-shirt with a slogan（口号、标语） or picture printed on the front.
