Do you often feel the quality of the goods we buy these days isn’t as good as it ought to beIn the past, when things were made by hand, it seems there was a lot of pride in individual workmanship. People were really proud of things they made.But now, of course, individuals don’t make things. Most things are made on assembly lines and one person only has a very small part in putting something together so there isn’t any workmanship any more.A good example of this is a friend of mine, Mary. She bought a toaster last summer at a sale. She used it, I guess, pretty often, but she only had it a couple of months when suddenly the plastic base of the toaster cracked wide open, and at the same time the heating system in the toaster burned out.She took it back to the store, but the clerk in the store said they wouldn’t take it back, and they wouldn’t give her money back, because she bought it on sale. So the only thing she could do was to buy a new one.I’m sure Mary is more careful when she buys things now, and that’s what we all have to be. It can be learned from the passage that ().
A. workmanship now can not be found as it was in the past
B. the toaster was broken because Mary used it too much
C. the quality of goods now isn’t as good as it was
D. it is fair enough for the store not to give money back to Mary

Culture unchangingly molds(影响) human biology. Culture encourages certain activities, discourages others, and sets standards of physical health and attractiveness. Sports activity, which is influenced by culture, help build phenotyep(具有共型的一类有机物). American girls are encouraged to pursue-and so, they do well in-competitive track and field, swimming, and diving. Brazilian girls are encouraged to avoid public activities. In Brazil fewer females swim, drive, and run than is the case in America. Culture standards of attractiveness also affect athletic activities. Americans nm or swim not just to compete but to keep trim(漂亮的) and fit. Brazil’s beauty standards accept more fat, especially in female buttocks and hips. Years of swimming mold an enlarged upper torso, a massive neck, and powerful shoulders and back. Successful women swimmers tend to be big, strong, hard and bulky, but Brazilian culture says that women should be soft. A Brazilian beauty should have big hips and buttocks rather than big shoulders. So Brazil seldom sends female swimmers or runners to the Olympics. The countries that produce successful female swimmers are the United States, Germany, and Russia or any other one but not Latin countries including Brazil. Why does Brazil seldom send female swimmers to the Olympics().
A. Because successful women swimmers tend to be big, strong, hard and bulky, but Brazilian culture says that women should be soft.
Because Brazilian women don’t like swimming and running.
C. Because Brazil’s beauty standards accept less fat, expecially in female buttocks and hips.
D. Because Brazilian girls are encouraged to take part in public activities.
