Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses.
The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear "sensible shoes" with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference.
The motion states: "Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely inappropriate for the day-to-day working environment.
"Feet bear the main burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders.
"Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints.
"Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code.
"More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected."
Nadine Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticised the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace.
"I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye," she said. "If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics (手段) by discussing women’s stilettos to divert tension away from Labour chaos."
Michelle Dewberry, a former winner of The Apprentice, said the motion was patronising (自认为高人一等的)。
"This is absolutely ridiculous and I think these union officials should be spending their time dealing with more important issues", she said. "I’m at work in five-inch heels and perfectly able to do my job. Heels are sexy, they boost your confidence and they are empowering to women. I can’t imagine these officials debating a motion about how tightly men should wear their ties. Wearing heels is a personal choice." [br] According to the passage, stiletto heels refer to______.
选项
A、heels most appropriate for catwalks
B、shoes that fit retail sector workers best
C、heels within the limit of an inch
D、very high heels that women wear
答案
D
解析
结合第二段,工会认为高跟鞋是对女性的不尊重,也会给她们造成伤害,提议女性穿鞋跟不超过一英寸的鞋,而Stiletto heels是可能被禁止在工作场合穿的鞋,由此可以推断出答案为[D]。文中说高跟鞋也许在好莱坞的走秀红毯上看起来光艳四射,但并没有说Stiletto heels最适合在走秀中穿,故排除[A]。文中说到零售业的雇主强迫女员工穿高跟鞋,并不代表高跟鞋就非常适合零售业的工人穿,故排除[B]。根据工会提议穿鞋跟不超过一英寸的鞋可排除[C]。
