(1) an
it (never/) buys things in finished form and hangs

Whenever you see the old film, even on made as early
(26)
as ten years before, you cant help being strucked
(27)
by the appearance of the woman taking part. Their
hair-styles and make-up look dated; their shirts look
either too long nor too short; their general appearance
(28)
is, in fact, slightly ludicrous. The men taking part, on
the other hand, are clearly recognizable. There is
something about their appearance to suggest they belong
(29)
to an entirely different age. This illusion is created
by changed fashions. Over the years, the great
(30)
majority of men has successfully resisted all attempts
(31)
to make them to change their style of dress. The
(32)
same cannot be said for women. Each year a few
so-call top designers in Paris and London lay down
(33)
on the law and women the whole world over run to
(34)
obey. The decrees of the designers are unpredictable
and dictatorial. Sometimes they decide arbitrarily that
skirts will be short and waists will be height; hips
(35)
are in and buttons are out. 共9页: 上一页 [1] 2 [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] 下一页
