问题     There are many ways to learn about the people of other lands. Some of these ways can be very interesting. One way is to study the clothing other people wear.
    For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.
    First, there are different reasons for wearing clothes. One reason is to protect the body against weather. Another reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of Moslem religion.
    A second reason for the difference in clothing over the world is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the fabrics used in clothing may be cotton, fur, leather, silk, wool or many of the man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton. Studying the type of material may give you some idea about the people of a distant land.
    The way clothes are made varies from country to country. This is another reason why people wear differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the fabric and the clothing he needs.
    Worldwide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. Customs vary from continent to continent and from country to country. Let’ s look at clothing customs and how they can affect the style of dress. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim(边)that tilts(倾斜)up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim that tilts down. Both hats are used to protect the farmer from sun. The difference is the custom of each country. Some of these customs come down through thousands of years.
    Right now, the clothing industry is very large. Some main clothing spots in the world are London, New York City, Paris and Rome. These cities are also big fashion spots. They set the trend for cities around the world.
The phrase "set the trend "in the last sentence probably means______.
选项 A、set the example
B、give the direction
C、popularize a fashion
D、start a new clothing industry
答案C
解析
