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.

1. 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

2. 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.

3.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

4. 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
