Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 44.
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 35: In the first paragraph the writer tells us_________.

Question 38: What is "it goes out without saying" similar in meaning to?
A. it is essential	B. it is irrational	C. it is obvious 	D. it is impossible
Question 39: Unhealthy fashion trends_________.
A. are a relatively recent phenomenon.	B. can influence both genders. 
C. are popular with women.	D. cost an excessive amount of money.
Question 40: Wearing high shoes_________.

C. make even human feet look more stunning	D. can be dangerous for others.
