If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. 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. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast 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 altering the dresses they have. 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 vital 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 delicately 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? That is for you to decide.
To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as______.
选项
A、a waste of money
B、a waste of time
C、an expression of taste
D、an expression of creativity
答案
B
解析
本题问女士们把过了时的服装拿出来改来改去,在作者看来是什么。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章的第二段中找到相关信息。这一段指出,许多女士不惜每年耗费大量的钱财更新那些几乎从未穿过的衣服;有的女士花不起那么多钱买新的,就宁可浪费许多时间,改造现有的服装:把长裙改短,把短裙放长;把领口线放低,或把领口线移高等。而且第二段第一句话就指出,不断变化的时装只不过是有意制造费物。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“作者认为把过了时的服装拿出来改来改去是浪费时间”。
