Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they
are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn
only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend
large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot
afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned
dresses. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion
designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They
are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up
with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn"t at some
time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way
through deep snow in high heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.
Do the constantly changing fashions of women"s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用)? That is for you to decide.
B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C. by constantly changing the fashions in women"s clothing
D. because they attach great importance to quality in women"s clothing
B. a waste of time
C. an expression of taste
D. an expression of love beauty
B. the women"s strength of character
C. basic qualities of inconstancy and instability
D. an important contribution to society
writer means that ___________.
B. women are better able to put up with discomfort
C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

| It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生产商)follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征)of clothes.What seems strange,however,is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men.Take a look at the way your clothes button.Men"s clothes tend to button from the right, and women"s from the left.Considering most of the world"s population-men and women-are righthanded,  the men"s standard would appear to make more sense for women.So why do women"s clothesbutton from the left? History really seems to matter here.Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th entury, when rich women were dressed by servants.For the mostly righthanded servants,having women"s shirts button from the left would be easier.On the other hand, having men"s shirts button from the right made sense, too.Most men dressed themselves,and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants,but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change.At a t  ime when all women"s shirts buttonedfrom the left,it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women"s shirts that buttoned from the right.After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch.Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right,since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men"s shirts. |
| 1．What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry? |
| A．It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. B．It is different for men"s clothing and women"s. C．It works better with men than with women. D．It fails to consider righthanded people. |
| 2．What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century? |
| A．They tended to wear clothes without buttons. B．They were interested in historical matters. C．They were mostly dressed by servants. D．They drew their swords from the left. |
| 3．Women"s clothes still button from the left today because____. |
| A．adopting men"s style is improper for women B．manufacturers should follow standards C．modern women dress themselves D．customs are hard to change |
| 4．The passage is mainly developed by________. |
| A．analyzing causes B．making comparisons C．examining differences D．following the time order |

| Working as a manager in the head office of a bank, as I do, clothes can be a nightmare. In New York, where I worked for a time last summer, you have to brave the burning heat every time you dare to go outside, yet freeze once you arrive in a meeting with the air-conditioner turned up. I struggled to know what to wear. The problem was worsened by the office dress code for the months of July and August, which was "dress-down". The dress-down phenomenon seems to have begun in places where staff work through the terrible heat of summer while their families take shelter at the coast or in the hills. Dress-down, limited to Friday, allows staff to head straight for their out-of-town places on Friday evenings without going home to change. But in New York it has now become a week-round state of affairs. This move may have been born out of consideration; to allow people on Wall Street to travel to work in the heat in something more comfortable than a suit, but the effect is less kind. For me, dress-down is bad for two reasons. The first is that it actually requires a whole new wardrobe. For my male colleagues in the US, it seemed to mean a switch from one uniform to another. I basically only own two types of clothes; suits for working in and truly casual clothes for relaxing weekends in the countryside. Returning to London, I was therefore rather embarrassed to discover that my employers had started summer dress-down. Here too, though its relevance to the climate is far from immediately apparent. At first, I tried to sidestep it by simply turning up in my suit as usual, but my staff complained that they then felt pressured into doing the same. So, I found myself having to buy " smart casual" clothes specifically to wear to work; a ridiculous expense. Even more annoying is the fact that I"m still required to have a suit hanging up in my office in case I"m suddenly called to a meeting on our conference floor, where dress-down is banned for fear that a client should witness it. One of my colleagues started to accumulate more and more very smart suits in her office, explaining that she was having her flat renovated and that in-office wardrobe was a necessity as she was staying at a different friend"s place each night. We weren"t convinced. For the other great inconvenience of dress-down for the staff is that it makes it easier than ever to spot when colleagues are going to job interviews. For the rest of the year, it is easy enough to arrange these during the working week, but in the summer when dress-down rules, it"s a dead giveaway to arrive in overly smart clothes and then go out for a "dental appointment". I would normally applaud this state of affairs, as an important part of my time is spent trying to prevent valued employees from moving elsewhere, and any clues about their intentions are helpful and allow me to nip things in the bud(消灭于萌芽中). However, the clothes hanging in my office are now finding a second use. I have suddenly become the target for several "headhunters", people employed by other companies to try and attract employees away with offers of better pay and conditions. The only problem with this is that I have just the one suit at the office. As a series of interviews with one future employer progresses, I"m having to bring in additional clothes. I can hardly present myself as a highly-paid investment banker, requiring a vast salary, if they only ever see me in one suit. At this rate, I shall have to tell my staff that I, too, have decided to have my flat done up. |

| A. Training new members of staff. B. Providing her staff with some information. C. Making sure that her staff remain faithful. D. Making her staff feel more comfortable at work. |

| A. something that is given away free. B. willingness to stop doing something. C. willingness to give away to the other"s wishes. D. something that makes it easy for you to guess something. |
