In a study of 4，000 people， 56% of women described being unhappy with their physical appearance. Furthermore， 89% wanted to lose weight， and 15% had used weight loss strategies for at least 5 years of their life.

The fact that 89% of women want to lose weight shows how unattainable the measures of feminine （女性的）beauty are.For genetic and biological reasons，there are many different kinds of beauty.If we compare ourselves to the impossible measures that only 10% of the population can achieve naturally， we will always be“ugly”.Even models who measure up to the“ideals”of beauty and fashion have also expressed dissatisfaction with their bodies.For example，Irina Shayk said that she feels insecure and ugly.

Women who don't feel beautiful develop a style of passive emotional coping when faced with their image. Conversely，active emotional coping refers to actions taken to gain control of the situation. This coping style involves the psychological activation of our resources todo things such as stress management.

Current studies show that women are less influenced by their body mass index，and more influenced by the image they have of themselves.Therefore，a woman with model features who has a passive coping style when it comes to her body may not feel beautiful.However，a woman with less“popular” features， using an active coping method，may feel more beautiful.

Really，the Western beauty standard is detrimental because extreme thinness is the prototype（典型） for what women should look like.This beauty ideal，asunatainable as it is extreme，has been internalized by many women. In return， women have experienced negative effects in the way they see themselves.

Negative self-concept influences the manner in which a woman faces her self-image.We develop our self-concept through interactions with others.If， every day，women receive informationabout how their bodiesshould look，our self-concept willdiminish （降低）.This is especially true if wedon't trytocontrol ourown resources and strengths.

28.Why does the author mention Irina Shayk in Paragraph 2？

A.To explain what beauty means. B.To encourage women to learn from her. C. To prove that ugly women can be models too. D.To show some measures of beauty are hard to achieve

29.Whatcanbe inferred from the current studies？

A.Confident women may feel more beautiful. B.Women pay more attention to their image.

C.Models are less influenced by their image. D. Coping styles can be found in most women.

0.What does the underlined word“detrimental”in Paragraph 5 probably mean？

A. Official. B.Unlimited. C.Achievable. D.Harmful

We all have dreams.Yetso few of us realize them.Often，a dream dies as quicklyas it is born because we lack the confidence to keep it.When Iwas old enough to understand the realities of life，Irealized that society putsa high value on youth，beautyand intellectual achievement.This discovery gave me some idea to develop my dream.

I know beauty is somethingIwillnever have，so Ididn't dream of becoming beautiful.But I didn't see it as something bad because it forced me to concentratemy energy to develop my other qualities.What people see in the disabled is only their appearance of being disabled. People are not impressed with the ability that lies inside every disabled person.

My dream was simple.I dreamed of becoming a typist.I always hoped to be able to master the typewriter.This magic machine would be my passport to getting a job.Icome from apoor family and the best that my parents could give me was a good school education.But，of course，this achievement proved to be no sure guarantee of geting a job in an ofice.The employment field was a highly competitive place， especially for a disabled job-seeker.

However，Irefused to give in.Idecided to takea six-month training course in typing.I filld in the detailed information in the application form and wrote down typingas my training course.When Ihanded over the form to the interviewer，she looked at me and then moved her eyes to my body.She left and discussed with another member of the staff.When the interviewer returned，she advised me to change my choice from typing.“Why don't you take up dressmaking so you can earn while at home？”she said. “Offices prefer to hire smartly dressed， pretty girls with beautiful hands，” she added.

注意：續寫詞數應為150個左右。

I knewIdidn'thave those qualifications.

At the end of the course，Iwas chosen to type the files from the government office.
