Heredity is not the only thing that influences our color. Where and how we live after we are born is important too. For instance, our skin color greatly depends on how much sunshine we get.
Centuries ago, most people in Europe were peasants and had to work in the fields all day. On the other hand, noblemen did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan. As a result, noblewomen did their best to keep their skins as light as possible. A skin so pale was considered a mark of great beauty and nobleness.
During the Industrial Revolution, farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working for long hours in those dark places makes their skins pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to sunny countries. They lay around on the beaches and got a tan, which became a sign of wealth. In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills that darken the skin without exposure to sunlight.
So there are three answers to the question “Where does our color come from?”—It comes from the genes we inherit. It comes from the conditions in which we live. And it can come from a bottle that we buy at the drugstore on the corner.

推理判断题。短文第一句就点明了文章的主题:Heredity is not the only thing that influences our color. (遗传不是影响我们肤色的惟一因素。)接下来的内容都围绕这个主题展开,结尾也进一步与此呼应,贵族的情况不是文章讨论的中心,而只是举例论证主题的需要,并且文中也没提到几个世纪前的贵族喜不喜欢旅行,因此排除A项,影响肤色的因素有遗传,阳光和化妆品,C选项过于片面;皮肤晒得黝黑被视为是富有的象征是工业革命时期的情况,D选项中的nowadays与此不符。因此答
