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.
Designers and big stores always make money______.
选项
A、by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
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
答案
C
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问时装设计师和大商场总是靠什么赚钱。利用查阅式阅读法,根据第一段所说的内容,如果妇女年复一年地受到无情的剥削的话,那只能怨她们自己。因为女士们一想到自己在众目睽睽之下穿着一身过了时的服装就不寒而栗,这也正是她们总被时装设计师和大商场利用的原因。由此我们可以推知,时装设计师和大商场总是靠不断变换妇女的时装来赚钱的。所以本题的正确答案应是C。
