单选

根据下列短文，回答下列各题。
If women are mercilessly exploited(剥削)year after year，they are only themselves to blame．Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out offashion,thev are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores．Clothes whichhaye been wom only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.Whenyou come to think of it。only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜)Dacked full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste．Many womenspend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn．Women whocannot 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 realb important to society．Fashion desihners are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth，comfort and durability(耐用)．They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact thatwomen will put up with any amount of discomfort，as long as they look right．There can hardlybe a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thindress on a winter day，delicately 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 areobvious．Do the constantly changing fashion of women’s clothes，one wonders，reflect basic quali-ties of inconstancv and instability?Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by fashion de-signers．Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stabilihy and feasibility?Thats for you to decide．
Designers and big stores always make money_________.

A.bv mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B.because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C.by constantly changing the fashion in women’s clothing
D.because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing

Exercise，everyone advises!But immediately，when you try，you run into trouble．Thereis so much contradictory，sometimes in correct advice about exercising that become confused．Test yourself on the following true-false quiz．It tell you what you need to know．
1．To lose weight you should always“work up a good sweat”when exercising．
False．Sweating only lowers body temperature to prevent overheating；it does not help you reduce weight．You may weigh less immediately after a Workout，but this is due to water loss．Once you replace the liquid，you replace the weight.
2．You bum more calories jogging one mile than walking the same distance．
False．You use，the 8aRle amount of energy whether you walk or jog the mile，since inboth cases you are moving the sanle weight the 8anle distance．The speed doesn’t matter．ofcourse，if you jog rather than walk for 30 minutes，youll cover more distance，and thereforeburn more calories．
3．If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising，youve exercised too much．
True．Five minutes or so after exercising，your breathing should be normal，your heartshouldn’t pounding，and you shouldnt exhausted．Beneficial exercise is not too difficult，un-pleasant，and exhausting；it is enjoyable and refreshing．
4．Walking is one of the best exercises．
True．Walking helps circulation of blood throughout the body，and thus has a direct effect on your overall feeling of health．
