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] How does Michelle Dewberry see the motion?
选项
A、It should be supported for the sake of women’s health.
B、The Union officials shouldn’t have debates on any motions.
C、It’s unnecessary and women have right to decide what to wear.
D、The union leaders should decide on the tightness of ties instead.
答案
C
解析
末段都是Michelle Dewberry的观点,她认为这项提议非常荒谬,工会官员们应该把他们的时间花在处理更重要的事情上面,最后说穿不穿高跟鞋完全是个人的选择,[C]正是对本段的同义转述,故答案为[C]。[A]项与This is absolutely ridiculous矛盾,故排除。[B]项与union officials should…dealing with more important issues(工会领导应该……去处理那些更重要的问题)矛盾。文中提到Michelle Dewberry无法想象这些官员们在一起讨论男人的领带应该系多紧将会是什么样子,她仅仅是讽刺,真实意图并非是说工会领导应该决定领带该系多紧,故排除[D]。
