42、 standards for various features （特征）of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standaid adopted for women is tlie opposite of tlie one for men. Take a look at tlie way voui clothes button. MenJs clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the w

43、orld's populationmen and womenare light-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for wonien. So why do women's clothes button from tlie left9History really seems to matter here Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th centuiy when rich women we

44、re dressed by seivants For the mostly right-handed sennts, having women's shirts button fi'om the left would be easier. On the otlier hand, having men's shirts button from the light made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn fiom the left with the right hand would be

Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public

48、's.C. It works better witli men than with women.D. It fails to consider righthanded people43 What do we know about the rich men in the 17th centuiv?JA.

49、 swords fiom the left44. Wbmen's clothes still button from the left today becauseA. adopting mens style is miproper for womenB manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change45 The passage is mainly developed byA. analyzing causesB. making compa
