32、 modesty. It is thought that prehistoric man wore clothing for a fourth reason, as a kind of magic. For example, he may have worn the skins of animals either to celebrate his victories over them, or perhaps to gain strength and wisdom from the animals he had killed. Until fairly recently it was poss
33、ible to use only natural materials of various kinds for the making of clothing. Both plants and animals supply these natural materials, From plants weget cotton and linen.

In the twentieth century, man has learned to create completely synthetic fibers. These are made
38、 from coal, glass, petroleum, milk and wood. Nylon, dacron and orion are the names of a few of these synthetic fibers. Recent synthetic products include disposable paper clothing and artificial leather. In many ways synthetic fibres are much better than natural fibers. It is possible to create speci
