In department stores and closets all over the world, they are waiting. Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they come in a variety of styles, textures, and colors. But they are ultimately the biggest deception that exists in the fashion industry today. What are they? They are high heels—a woman’s enemy (whether she knows it or not).
High heel shoes are the downfall of modern society. Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or sophisticated for wearing heels, but in reality, heels succeed in posing short as well as long term hardships. Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to wear or purchase high heel shoes in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering.
For the sake of fairness, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels. First, heels are excellent for aerating lawns. Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about. A simple trip around the yard in a pair of
those babies
eliminates all need to call for a lawn care specialist, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all those messy chunks of dirt lying around.
Second, heels are quite functional for defense against oncoming enemies, who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion accessories.
Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one’s physical health. Talk to any podiatrist, and you will hear that the majority of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women. High heels are known to cause problems such as deformed feet and torn toenails. The risk of severe back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a flat shoe wearer. Wearing heels also creates the threat of getting a heel caught in a sidewalk crack or a sewer-grate and being thrown to the ground—possibly breaking a nose, back, or neck. And of course, after wearing heels for a day, any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her swollen, aching feet.
What makes women blind to the deceptive nature of high heels?
选项
A、The multi-functional use of high heels.
B、Their attempt to show off their status.
C、The rich variety of high heel styles.
D、Their wish to improve their appearance.
答案
D
解析
本题关键词是deceptive nature和high heels,问题是:为什么女性看不到高跟鞋的欺骗性?答案可以定位至第二段。根据第二段第二句,时尚神话(Fashion myths)使女性相信穿上高跟鞋会更美丽或气质更高雅(more beautiful or sophisticated),所以即使后半句表明高跟鞋的欺骗性本质,即已经引起了短期乃至长期的痛苦(posing shop as well as long term hardships),女性对此仍视而不见,因此选项D与原文属于相同含义,为正确选项。原文第三和第四段的确提到了高跟鞋的多种“积极”功能,但实质上,这是作者诙谐的描述,不是女性对高跟鞋的欺骗性本质视而不见的原因,因此选项A属于答非所问。选项B在原文中并没有提及,属于无中生有。选项C来自原文第一段第二句,它们的式样、质地和颜色多种多样(they come in a variety of styles,textures,and colors),但这只是说明了高跟鞋具有吸引力的原因,而不是女性看不到其欺骗性的原因,所以选项C也属于答非所问。第一段:高跟鞋虽外表吸引人却具有欺骗性,是女性的敌人。第二段:高跟鞋体现了现代社会的衰落,女性应与此产业做斗争。
