The Bible tells us that this was the original reason for wearing clothes: Adam and Eve, once they realized that they were naked, "sewed fig leaves together, adn made themselves aprons." Historically, however, shame seems to have played very little part in the developmenmt of costume. In ancient Egypt, Crete and Greece, the naked body was not considered immodest; slaves and atheletes habitually went without clothing, while people of high rank wore garments that were cut and draped so as to show a good deal when in motion. Some modern writers believe that the deliberate concealment of certain parts of the body originated not as a way of discouraging sexual interest, but as a clever device for arousing it. According to this view, clothes are the physical equivalent of remarkslike "I've got a secret"; they are a tease, a come-on. It is certainly true that parts of the human form considered sexually arousing are often covered in such a way as to exaggerate and draw attention to them. People done up in shiny colored wrappings and bow affect us just as a birthday present does: we're courious , turned on; we want to undo the package....

G、We might conclude from the apsssage that a tight dress can be more sexy to some than a topless bathing suit. H、Behavior we consider basic may not be basic to othe cultures.简答题"The very idea of retirement is a relatively new invention. For most of human history, people worked until they died or were too infirm to lift a finger (at which point they died pretty fast anyway). It was the German statesman Otto von Bismarck who first floated the concept, in 1883, when he proposed that his unemployed countrymen over the age of 65 be given a pension.
