Even before they start school, many young girls worry that they are fat. But a new study suggests watching a movie starring a stereotypically(模式化地)thin and beautiful princess may not increase children’s anxieties.

Nearly half of the 3 to 6 year old girls in a study by Professor Stacey Tantleff-Dunn and doctoral student Sharon Hayes said they worry about being fat. About one-third would change a physical feature, such as their weight or hair color.

The number of girls worried about being fat at such a young age concerns Tantleff-Dunn because of the potential effects later in life. Studies have shown young girls worried about their body image are more likely to suffer from eating disorders when they are older.

The encouraging news for parents is that taking their young daughters to see the new Disney film “The Princess and the Frog” isn’t likely to influence how they see their bodies.

“The media have a great effect on how young girls see their bodies. That’s why it’s important for parents to use movies such as ‘The Princess and the Frog,’ to start conversations with their children about weight, skin color and their views of beauty. They can explain that princesses’ tiny waists are not realistic for girls and that children don’t need Cinderella’s golden hair or Snow White’s porcelain(瓷制的) skin to look good,” Tantleff-Dunn said.

“We need to help our children challenge the images of beauty, particularly thinness, that they see and idolize, and encourage them to question how much appearance should be part of their self-worth,” said Tantleff-Dunn. “We should help them build a positive self-image with an appreciation for many different types of body features.” And as their children’s most important role models, parents also should avoid criticizing their own bodies.

Tantleff-Dunn worries that young girls caring too much about their appearance may .

A. have diet trouble in the future

B. cause trouble when they are older

C. have mental problems later in life

D. have difficulty in communication

What is especially considered as beauty by girls according to the passage?

A. Having black hair. B. Having a slim body.

C. Having golden skin. D. Having big bright eyes.

Parents can help kids build a positive self-image by .

A. encouraging kids to act as role models

B. preventing kids seeing beautiful models

C. telling kids the importance of appearance

D. avoiding complaining of their own bodies

The writer writes the passage mainly to

A. explain the meaning of beauty

B. introduce a new research finding

C. stress the influence of media on girls

D. teach girls how to become a princess

What is the relationship between violence and sports? Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive． ”

David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, “These are often celebratory riots— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly． ”

Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous — no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality．”

Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, “Some people don’t even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it’s OK to do almost anything. They think, ‘There are so many of us and not enough of them． ’ ”

Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as “big parties．” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly． ”

Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs?

A. There’s a connection between violence and sports

B. One cause of violence at sports events is alcohol．

C. There are many reasons for violence at sports events．

D. David Sampson and Dennis Brock have the same opinion．

Which of the following does NOT belong to a “mob mentality”?

A．“I must drink some alcohol to stop myself feeling shy． ”

B．“ It’s safe to do what many people are doing． ”

C. “There are so many of us and not enough of them． ”

D．“ No one knows I’m doing this． ”

How many experts are quoted by the writer of this passage?

A． Two． B． Four． C． Three． D． Five．

The last paragraph is mainly about ______．

A. how to turn games into big parties

B. why to install cameras in stadiums

C. how to prevent violence at sports events

D. how to avoid oneself behaving badly

What lesson can we learn from this passage?

A． Never drink any alcohol no matter where you are．

B． Whenever you are watching a game, you should keep quiet．

C． Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing something．

D． Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there．

Dear Amy,

I glad to discuss your present situation with you. People often miss parents for the first time they left home. However, most people have to leave home for higher educations or employment. You cannot live with our parents forever. You should realize that the separation will help improve your person ability. You need to make new friends and share ideas with whomever has something in common with you. Maybe you will still miss your parents, and your new friends will bring joy to your new life. Also I suggest you will enjoy yourself by taking the active part in different activities. You will get much pleasure.

Faithfully yours

Sharon
