According to the writer, . A. being a kidult is nothing wrong B. kidults have mental problems C. our society is very dull D. some people can never grow up B 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. 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 . 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? That is for you to decide. 查看更多

 

题目列表(包括答案和解析)

     Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave
childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice
among young people across Asia.
      Some kidults collect toys they once played with.  Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many
adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped
cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(附属品).
      Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published
the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an
adult is actually reading a children's book!
      "Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure,
child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of
Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the
generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and
cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.
     Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value
childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their
age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
1. We can infer from the article that _________.
A. Kidults can't give up their toys their childhood
