26、You may have heard some of the fashion industry horror stories: models eating tissues or cotton balls to hold off hunger, and models collapsing (昏倒) from hunger-induced (因饥饿所致的) heart attacks just seconds after they step off the runway (T台).

Excessively skinny models have been a point of controversy (争论) for decades, and two researchers say a model’s body mass (体重) should be a workspace health and safety issue. In an editorial released Monday in the American Journal of Public Health, Katherine Record and Bryn Austin made their case for government regulation of the fashion industry.

The average international runway model has a body mass index (BMI) under 16-low enough to indicate starvation by the World Health Organization’s standard. And Record and Austin are worried not just about the models themselves, but about the vast number of girls and women their images influence.

“Especially girls and teens,” says Record. “Seventy percent of girls aged 10 to 18 report that they define perfect body image based on what they see in magazines.” That’s especially worrying, she says, given that anorexia(厌食症) results in more deaths than does any other mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

It’s commonly known that certain diseases are linked with occupations like lung disease in coal miners. Professional fashion models are particularly vulnerable (脆弱的) to eating disorders (失调) resulting from occupational demands to maintain extreme thinness.

Record’s suggestion is to prohibit agents from hiring models with a BMI below 18.

In April, France passed a law setting lower limits for a model’s weight. Agents and fashion houses who hire models with BMI under 18 could pay $ 82, 000 in fines and spend up to 6 months in jail. Regulating the fashion industry in the United States won’t be easy, Record says. But with the new rules in France, U.S. support could make a difference. “A designer can’t survive without participating in Paris Fashion Week”, she says, adding, “Our argument is that the same would be true of New York Fashion Week.”

【1】What do Record and Austin say about fashion models’ body mass?

A. It has caused needless controversy.

B. It affects models’ health and safety.

C. It is but a matter of personal taste.

D. It is focus of the modeling business.

【2】What are Record and Austin advocating in the Monday editorial?

A. Prohibition of models eating non-food stuff.

B. A change in the public’s view of female beauty.

C. Elimination (淘汰) of forced weight loss by models.

D. Government legislation (立法) about models’ weight.

【3】Why are Record and Austin worried about the low body mass index of models?

A. It contributes to many mental illnesses.

B. It defines the future of the fashion industry.

C. It has great influence on numerous girls and women.

D. It keeps many otherwise qualified women off the runaway.

【4】What do we learn about France’s fashion industry?

A. It has difficulty hiring models.

B. It has now a new law to follow.

C. It allows girls under 18 on the runway.

D. It has overtaken that of the United States.

27、If you're looking for a way to achieve naturally glowing skin, you needn't look further than face yoga. That's what Akiko Grabin, a face yoga teacher believes.

The main reason people give it a shot is because of its effect on skin, with Grabin claiming that it can prevent wrinkles, or at least smooth their appearance. And there's some evidence to back these claims. Research from 2018 found that 30 minutes a day of facial exercises over a 20-week period might improve the appearance of skin in middle-aged women.

Takatsu is credited as the creator of the Face Yoga Method. She wrote about how she started it on her website, saying she came up with the concept following a car crash in which her body was injured and her face was left looking asymmetrical (不对称的). Standing in front of the mirror one day, Takatsu had a realization: “if I exercise my body muscles, I should be able to do the same for my face.” After Takatsu started practicing this method, people began praising her appearance and were eager to know how she achieved such results. The Face Yoga Method was born.

But Dr Imaan Joshi, a cosmetician working in a beauty agency, remains skeptical of the practice. She believes face yoga can have “some beneficial effects” in terms of relaxing muscles, but says there's no evidence it can reduce or prevent wrinkles. Joshi explains that wrinkles form from repetitive, life-long movement of facial muscles, accompanied by loss of collagen (胶原）and fat as we age. “So, there's no realistic way of getting rid of wrinkles apart from reducing or freezing the movement of these muscles.”

【1】Why do people try to do face yoga?

A．Doing face yoga can do good to people's health.

B．Face yoga is the best way to achieve smooth skin.

C．Doing face yoga is beneficial to people's skin.

D．Face yoga is highly recommended by experts.

【2】What inspired Takatsu to create face yoga?

A．The wish to heal her injured face.

B．The praise for her appearance.

C．The lecture she attended

D．The comments on her website.

【3】What does the underlined word “cosmetician” in the last paragraph mean?

A．A professor who studies physical exercise and health.

B．A teacher who teaches biology.

C．A physician who improves people's looks.

D．An adviser who provides the old with nutritious diets.

【4】Which statement may Joshi agree with?

A．Face yoga is an effective way to get rid of wrinkles.

B．The claim that face yoga can relax muscles lacks evidence.

C．Repetitive movement of facial muscles causes loss of collagen.

D．More movements of facial muscles can result in the formation of wrinkles.

29、Carnival: One Day in Rio

Last year I went to the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, and it blew my mind. It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister’s friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me all the highlights. He did not let me down.

Well, the carnival is most definitely all about the samba. It’s a style of music and dance which has its roots in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being colonized, so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals. It’s the kind of music that you can’t help dancing to, and I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, my hips and shoulders were swinging almost involuntarily.

Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade, the icon of Brazilian culture, inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship title, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come. So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.

【1】What was the main cause for the author’s tension in the beginning?

A．The doubts about the visit.

B．The nervousness over the crowd.

C．The inability to find a local guide.

D．The anxiety about visiting a new country.

【2】What can we learn about samba from this passage?

A．Samba has its roots in America.

B．Samba is not the taste of the writer.

C．Samba has a long and mixed culture.

D．Samba music is usually slow and soft.

【3】The author didn’t regret missing the parade because ________.

A．she met some amazing local people

B．she didn’t have the tickets for the parade

C．she celebrated the festival in a local way

D．she enjoyed the carnival by making her own parties

【4】According to the passage, which of the following words can best describe Ronnie?

A．Modest and determined.

B．Humorous and ambitious.

C．Creative and sympathetic

D．Reliable and considerate.
