Passage 1
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 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; necklines 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 .They only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up ? any amount of discomfort,as long as they look right. There can hardly be a who hasn t at some ^ in hi8 life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day,or del.cately Pass 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, he constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of incons-and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their nchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.

A New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B The constant changes in women,s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D Fashion designers should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
