3、e 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 women is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sa
4、dly 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
5、 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
6、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.

7、ly picking her way through deep snow in highheeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.

12、p with discomfort C) men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers D) men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead
13、 to rewards; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological drives(欲望)as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drin
14、k or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise. It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome. Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to reward the babies and so teach the
15、m to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens reponses in situat
16、ions where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement switch on a display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left
17、or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side. Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would smile and bubble(发出咯咯声) when the displa
18、y came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.
