THE HEIGHT OF FASHION
 If, like myself, you have recently suspected that women are growing taller these days and wondered what particular dietary supplements are contributing to this spurt in growth, then be assured - this is no magical twist to evolutionary development, it is simply the current obsession with shoes. This trend, like many before it, shows that some people are willing to suffer any amount of pain or discomfort and even jeopardise their health in the name of fashion.
 It may be a cliché, but women especially are quite willing to admit that they are ‘slaves to fashion’. If we look a long way back in time there was a period when tiny waists were to die for - and many women nearly did! They wore corsets so tight that they displaced internal organs and even cracked their ribs. Men were not immune to paying the price for vanity either. In seventeenth-century Europe the popular male practice of using white face powder to give themselves that pale, interesting look could be rather dangerous as the early powders contained arsenic! 
 One of today’s major fashion health hazards is the six-inch heels made popular by celebrities and catwalk models the world over, despite various public tumbles. It’s certainly true that the extra height is slimming and glamorous and the high heels make even the dumpiest person’s feet look quite stunning. What is a problem, however, is when the wearers of such footwear attempt to actually move! Apart from the likelihood of falling over and twisting an ankle, the possible damage to the body is significant. It goes without saying that the feet can be badly affected - resulting later in life in distorted toes and bunions - but the problems can extend to the whole skeleton, as the posture the wearer has to adopt to stay upright can cause severe back problems. Add to this the fact that the wearer may also be carrying a fashionably big bag over one shoulder and it’s clear that the poor vertebrae don’t really stand a chance.
 There is one advantage to the fashion for such high heels. Social interaction is obviously restricted as most wearers can do little more than stand in the same place or sit. This allows the shorter, flatter footed amongst us to run rings round them at parties!
Question 39: What happens at parties?
A. Women wearing high shoes are waited upon by shorter and flatfooted ones.
B. More people approach you to start a conversation.
C. High shoes make a good topic of conversation.
D. Other people have the chance to enjoy the occasion. 
Question 40: Unhealthy fashion trends.....
A. can influence both genders. 	B. are popular with women.
C. are a relatively recent phenomenon.	D. cost an excessive amount of money.
Question 41: In the first paragraph the writer tells us.....
A. high-heel shoes help women grow taller.	B. how to increase our growth. 
C. how to be healthy and look good.	D. that external appearance can be the most important thing. 
Question 42: What is "it goes out without saying" similar in meaning to?
A. it is obvious 	B. it is impossible	C. it is irrational	D. it is essential
Question 43: Very high shoes.....
A. can easily give charm to ankles.	B. can make some of us look fatter.
C. can make people’s feet look ridiculous.	D. can make us look elegant. 
Question 44: Wearing high shoes....
A. alters our posture dramatically. 	B. can be dangerous for others.
C. has an immediate effect on our feet.	D. make even human feet look more stunning
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions.

Question 47: Their party was a din. I was unable to concentrate on my work.
A. The din from their party enabled me to concentrate on my work.
B. The din coming from their party could make me not concentrate on my work.
C. Their party made a din for me to be able to concentrate on my work.
D. Their party was such a din that I was unable to concentrate on my work. 
Question 48: They were afraid to complain about the noise. They feared to annoy the neighbours.
A. Their complaints about the noise were afraid to annoy the neighbours. 
B. They were afraid to complain about the noise so as to annoy the neighbours. 
C. They were afraid to complain about the noise lest they annoyed the neighbours. 
D. They were afraid to complain about the noise so that they annoyed the neighbours. 
Question 49: Dad came home. He went out again soon.
A. The time Dad came home, he went out again right then.
B. Hardly did Dad come home when he went out again.
C. No sooner had Dad come home than he went out again. 
D. As soon as Dad came home, he went out again at once.
Question 50: Mum bought a lottery ticket. She won a big prize three days later.
A. Before Mum won a big prize three days, she had bought a lottery ticket.
B. After Mum had bought a lottery ticket three days, she won a big prize.
C. Mum bought a lottery ticket three days after she had won a big prize.
