Fashion is clothing that is in style at a particular time. The concept of fashion implies a process of style change, because fashions in dress, as well as in furniture and other objects, have taken very different forms at different times in history. Thus, the English playwright William Shakespeare observed in the 16th century that "the fashion wears out more apparel (衣服) than the man".
Back in Shakespeare’s day, only upper-class people dressed fashionably; the mass of the rural peasants wore simple clothing that hardly changed over many generations. Since the beginning of the 20th century, however, fashions have changed rapidly. We would look strange indeed if we wore the styles our great-grandparents wore. And most people—at least in the West—follow fashion to some extent, because fashion refers to much mom than the exclusive and expensive clothing produced by leading designers. Even schoolchildren are aware that fashions exist, and change, in running shoes. Nevertheless, we do tend to distinguish, however imprecisely, between basic clothing, such as blue jeans and T-shirts, and the latest fashions created by fashion designers.
Fashion reflects the society of which it is a part. It has been influenced by wars, conquests, laws, religion, and the arts. Individual personalities have also had an impact on fashion. Royal families and heads of state have sot fashion, and in the 20th century media stats have emerged as leaders of fashion. French writer Anatole France said that if he could come back to Earth 100 years after his death and have only one thing w read, he would choose a fashion magazine because that would show him the way people lived.
Fashion also has its critics, who have at times blamed fashion for being irrational, frivolous (轻佻的), and immoral. Why should pink be in fashion one season and gray the next season? Why do people follow fashion like sheep when they have enough clothes already? A common criticism is that fashion designers accelerate fashion change to create new business. Yet no new fashion succeeds until people are ready to accept it. The final decision about what to buy, or whether to buy anything at all, belongs to the consumer. In essence, fashions change because many people like new and different styles.
Why does fashion change according to the passage?
选项
A、Because people prefer variety in life.
B、Because some people want to create new business.
C、Because old things are always replaced by new things.
D、Because some persons promote fashion change to make more money.
答案
A
解析
文章最后一句话谈到了时尚变化的根本原因“从本质上讲,时尚之所以变化是因为很多人喜欢新事物和不同的风格。”因此,选项A“因为人们喜欢生活中有变化”是最符合文章内容的。而选项C“因为旧的事物总是被新的事物所取代”具有很强的迷惑性。其实,这不是导致时尚变化的原因,而是时尚变化的表现。
