Question

For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.

   Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We dream about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal. 1.Then, at last, we find ourselves there.

   But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. 2. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self – worth, and, of course, love.

   It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. 3.In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it is happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body?  4.  Many of us try hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. 5.

A. Why not look inside?

B. We try every means to be slim, but in vain.

C. We work very hard to realize this dream.

D. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.

E. Why not do some make up?

F. Beauty standards vary with culture.

G. Next time, we will keep it off.

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了人们认为一切的痛苦就是因为自己的身材，盼望实现自己减肥成功的时候，那么这个愿望实现后会紧接着又其他的烦恼，文中给出了一些建议，不要去过度重视自己的身材，人们之间的审美价值随文化的不同而不同，试着去改变自己的内心的态度，也许世界的一切都会改变。

1.根据We dream about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal.我们梦想我们期待已久的愿望实现后会是什么样子。所以很自然后面应该是我们努力地去实现它，故选C。

2.根据we continue to believe that next time it will be different.我继续相信下一次会有所不同，再根据下文的next time 可知，这里也需用相同时间状语的句子，故选G。

3.根据It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty.需要很长的时间认识到关于漂亮的内容，可知这里开始叙述漂亮的话题，故选F。

4.根据if it is happiness that we want,why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body?为什么不去放更多的经历在我们所需要的幸福上，而是关注我们的身材呢？因为这句是用why not…表示建议，同样下文也可以用同样的句型来表达建议，故选A。

5.根据We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves.我们找到一个方法来使我们内心舒适，多交一些朋友并且珍爱自己。这里说的一些建议，最后总结当我们改变了我们的态度，世界的一切都会好了，故选D。
