9、he 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 not
10、hing 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 can not afford to throw away clothing in this way waste hours of their time altering (改变) the dresses they have.Skirts are lengthened or shortened;ne
11、cklines 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 are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of th
12、e fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort,as long as they look right.There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day,or delicately picking her way through deep snow in highheeled shoes.When comparin

18、hed atB8.NEW YORK Picking a Christmas tree takes most people a few minutes, or a couple of hours if they head for the woods. Dave Murbach needs 11 months.Almost every day of every year, Murbachs thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyones breath away. Murbac
19、h is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattans Rockefeller Center each Christmas season. “Im always looking for a tree,” the centers chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. It s like a homework assignment hanging ov
20、er your head.” And if he gets it wrong, theres nothing hiding it. “Every day its up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says. This years tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the worlds largest cargo pla
21、ne, was lighted on December 2. The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments (装饰品). The search for the next years tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for
22、 wood chips and horse-jumping logs. Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through. Thats not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. An
23、d branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced. Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows
24、 the effect the tree has on people: “Its for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. Thats what I hope it sets off.” But Murbach says hes always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.41. Which is the correct order of the events in the passage? a. Murbachs thoughts turn
