Women Staying in Mini-Skirts for Longer
British women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of 40, according to research by Debenhams.
Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt after the age of 33, the store said. "It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies and are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement. "If this trend continues, there's no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s and early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe."
The figures emerged when the store examined the latest age profile of women buying short, 36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of 36-year-old at the start of millennium (千禧年) to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old -- a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.
The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym (健身房) culture, providing women with well toned bodies for longer may be the reason. The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.
The Debenhams' study showed that a modern woman's love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesn't buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistband of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.
Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 and 19, reducing in size from 46 to 36cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 and 27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their fast stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store said.
However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of 27 and 34, as those early relationships break down, and new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee for the very first time since school days at the age of 42.
British women like to wear mini-skirts up until an old age because of the following reasons except()
选项
A.women are more and more confident in their bodies.
B.women's attention to body building makes them have well toned bodies to wear mini-skirts.
C.the climate of Britain getting warmer recently makes women wear minis for a longer time.
D.more and more women are now living on their own.
答案
C
解析
细节题。句意:英国的女性一直到很大年纪还穿迷你裙是因为下列原因,除了____。这个题题干不好定位,可以改为定位选项。A项利用关键词confident可以定位到第二段 第二句“表明女性对她们的身材很自信,乐于适时而穿衣”;B项利用关键词body buidling和toned bodies可以定位到第四段,意为“健身的流行使女性保持很好的体形也是一个原 因。越来越多的英国女性独立生活也是一个因素”,由此可知B项和D项都是原因;C项 利用关键词climate进行定位,原文无相关信息,所以不是女性爱穿迷你裙的原因。
