The United Kingdom had banned another fashion ad.A complaint was made to the company's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) about two models who appeared in Gucci's Cruise 2016 campaign.The ASA,which handles complaints across all the media,considered one of the models "unhealthily thin" based on still photos that appeared at the end of a video ad online.
   Considering that the model's body "appeared to be out of proportion (不成比例) with her head and lower body" and noting her "unhappy facial expression and dark make-up",the organization stated that keeping the model in the ad was not good.The ASA required Gucci to remove her still image from the video,which first appeared on The Times' website.
   Gucci responded to the complaint by telling the ASA the ad was "aimed at the older audience" and that it did not believe that the model could be seen as unhealthy,but the company did remove the image from its campaign.
   The image is just the latest in a number the ASA had banned in the past,and the ruling comes a years after France has voted to ban models under a certain body mass index.
   In my point of view,the ASA had done the right thing.Nowadays,many young girls follow model's examples.Such images will make young girls think that being unhealthily thin means beauty.They may want to look so thin,too.In order to lose weight,they may sacrifice their health.Many young girls are high school students.If they suffer poor health,they won't be able to study well.
   Media are responsible for teaching young girls the right things.They should let them know that being unhealthily thin isn't beautiful.Young girls should also be taught that health is much more important than external (外部的) beauty.
   I'm sure that we will see fewer of such images in the future if they are banned and that young girls try less hard to look thin.

(1)Why did the ASA ban the ad?
B
B

A.Because all the media objected to it.
B.Because it might mislead young girls.
C.Because it didn't focus on old people.
D.Because it had nothing to do with the campaign.
(2)What do we know about one of the models in the ad?
D
D

A.She wore beautiful light make-up.
B.She went on a diet to lose weight for the ad.
C.She looked great with a serious facial expression.
D.Her head was out of proportion to the size of her body.
(3)How did Gucci react to the ASA's decision?
C
C

A.It showed the model's body mass index.
B.It put the image on The Times' website.
C.It took the image away from the video.
D.It refused to accept the decision.
(4)In the author's opinion,
B
B

A.what the ASA did was unreasonable
B.beauty doesn't mean being unhealthily thin
C.today' media are quite responsible for the young
D.many high school girls pay little attention to their health

  • 3.For hundreds of years,women in Myanmar's Kayan area have worn bronze rings around their necks and other parts of their body.The rings are a traditional symbol of beauty.They also extend the necks of the women,making them very long.
       But now,younger Kayan women are turning away from the tradition of their ancestors.Mu Tu is one of the few women who knows how to make the traditional rings and put them on.She is 48 years old.She says,"The shorter sets are easier to make.Everyone has their own preference.So if someone doesn't like what you've put on,you have to take it off and start over."
       83-year-old Maria Khaing has been wearing rings on her neck,wrists and knees since she was eight."My dad told me I looked like a boy,and he would buy me a gun to hunt as a man.But I said every girl is wearing the ring,so I want to wear the rings,too."Maria never removes the rings,even when cooking,eating or working."It is comfortable.At first it was hard but now it's fine.I eat and food goes down,"she said.
       Wearing neck rings was once expected of all Kayan women.But more and more have started toshun the practice.Maria's granddaughter,20-year-old Za Oo,is among those who have not kept with the tradition."They're heavy and uncomfortable.Also I don't know much about them,that's why I don't wear them," she said.
       What is known is that besides extending the women's necks,the practice also crushes collarbones(鎖骨) and causes discomfort when swallowing.Even Mu Tu admits that safety is a concern."If you don't make the rings correctly,someone can choke,"she said.
       Whether safety or changing fashion,many young Kayan women are turning their backs on the tradition.Experts say there are now fewer than 100 long-neck women in Myanmar.That is down from about 300 to 400 in the 1990s.

    (1)How many years has Maria Khaing been wearing rings on her neck?

    A.48 years.
    B.83 years.
    C.20 years.
    D.75 years.
    (2)What does the underlined word "shun" in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?

    A.Promote.
    B.Stop.
    C.Analyse.
    D.Observe.
    (3)Za Oo didn't wear rings on her neck because
    .
    A.her father wanted her to be a hunter
    B.she thought the practice not safe
    C.she knew little about the tradition
    D.she found it not fashionable to do so
    (4)What can we learn from the passage?

    A.The rings will always be a symbol of beauty to Kayan.
    B.Many Kayan women know how to make neck rings.
    C.The practice of wearing rings can lead to getting choked.
    D.Many long-necked Kayan women have removed the rings.
