问题     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 worst 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 use or purchase them 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 (使通气) 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 (足病医生), 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 high heel wearer than for a flat shoe wearer. Wearing heels also creates the threat of getting a heel caught in a sidewalk crack or a sewer-grate (阴沟棚) 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.
It can be inferred from the passage that women should______.
选项 A、see through the very nature of fashion myths
B、boycott the products of the fashion industry
C、go to a podiatrist regularly for advice
D、avoid following fashion too closely
答案A
解析 在文章第1段倒数第2句作者指出：时尚神话使女性相信穿上高跟鞋能使她们更漂亮、气质更优雅。但实际情况却是高跟鞋只会给女性带来身体上和精神上的伤害。因此作者应是呼吁女性识破时尚神话的真正实质，拒绝购买和穿高跟鞋。因此，A与文章的意思吻合；而B和D的说法文中没有提到，也过于绝对了，C并不是作者的目的。
