If women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) 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.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend large 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 changing their old-fashioned dresses. 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 necessary 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 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(稳定耐用)? That is for you to decide.

Designers and big stores always make money_________.

    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

To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as ___________.

    A. a waste of money                    B. a waste of time

    C. an expression of taste                 D. an expression of creativity

New fashions in clothing are created for ___________.

    A. the commercial exploitation of women

    B. the women’s strength of character

    C. basic qualities of inconstancy and instability

    D. an important contribution to society

By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious” (Line One to Line Two, Paragraph Four), the writer means that ___________.

    A. women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at

    B. women are better able to put up with discomfort

    C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers

D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son and his girlfriend in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children and the younger children would do a wonderful job of accompanying（陪伴）the older ones. Later, I discovered that I was completely wrong.

I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news. But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.

It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. “I’ll give him a lesson, ” I said．I decided they must be outside．Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a winter night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with.

Finally, in desperation（绝望）, I called his girlfriend’s house. His girlfriend answered. “Yes,” she said brightly, “He’s right here.”

He came on the phone．I was not my usual calm, patient. After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modern teenagers. “Where are the children?” I said. He said they were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake. Well, it turns out that I shouldn’t have believed it. It was only part of the truth.

The following Saturday evening we were at my parents’ home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts — a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.

1.The author went out and left her eldest son in charge of the younger children because________.

A．she knew that his girlfriend was a good baby-sitter

B．she believed he could take good care of the younger ones with the help of his girlfriend

C．the older children have always loved the younger ones

D．she could not find a baby-sitter on that winter night

2.Shortly after the author left home one evening, she discovered that _________.

A．her son had brought his girlfriend home

B．her son had left home with his girlfriend

C．she shouldn’t have completely trusted her son

D．she should have taken the children along with her

3.“It was only part of the truth.” implies that the children not only enjoyed ice-cream but also _________.

A．had their pictures taken                  B．received some gifts

C．had a birthday party                     D．showed off their best clothes

4. Which is the best title of this passage?

A．An Evening Out                         B．Modern Teenagers

C．Mother and Children                     D．A Precious Birthday Gift

Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. Women usually stand in front of a wardrobe full of clothes, announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the international 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.

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 deliberately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
