It’s not just women who wear skirts. 31 In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition.
A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knees. It has checks (格子) on it with different colors, like red and blue. 32 .
33 There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson.
Rawlinson had a number of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. 34
Today, most Scotsmen look on the kilt as formal dress. They usually only wear them at wedding or a big dinner. 35 .
Scots also wear kilts in parades when they play their traditional musical instrument bagpipes (风笛). The army still has kilts as the dress uniform, but they no longer use them when fighting.
A. Each family in Scotland has its own colors.
B. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day.
C. How did the Scots start to wear kilts?
D. It was important for Scots to wear skirts at any time.
E. So he cut their long clothes into shorter skirts.
F. Wearing skirts is very beautiful for women.
G. Men can wear them, too.
