22、She was supposed to be paying her debt to society, but as Naomi Camplbell was walking to work for her community(社区)service she was the one being paid.Campbell, 36, has never looked so happy — and no wonder. Her five-day community service sentence in New York has served as the basis of a fashion shoot for W magazine, the monthly companion to Women’s Wear Daily, which is regarded as the American rag trade bible.
W’s editorial director, Patrick McCarthy, said the 20-page feature would run in the July issue.
“We’re having great fun watching her every day,” he said. “It’s going to make a great story … Naomi was very keen to do it, she thought it would be a lot of fun.”
Campbell has used the short walk from her car to the doors of the Sanitation(卫生)Department’s District 3 Garage as a catwalk, each day presenting a new suit carefully matched with must-have sunglasses and handbags.
Her agency, IMG, says Campbell’s basic rate is about ?25,000 ($A60,000) a day.
News that Campbell had used what was supposed to be a punishment — she mopped floors and cleaned toilets — as a promotional money-spinner has angered New Yorkers.
New York lawyer Raoul Felder said that while there was nothing illegal about Campbell’s deal, her behaviour had “made a mockery of our system of justice and insulted(侮辱)every hard-working person in this city”.
Campbell was sentenced in January to five days’ community service after admitting she’d been guilty to throwing a mobile phone at an assistant.

21、With big handbags becoming a key fashion accessory(配件)for working women, health experts are warning they can also become a key health concern.
Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and straps have become longer, resulting in many users complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems.
“I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and pick it up,” said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas. “We take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they’re anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds...We’re really going to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big purse craze.”
William Case, a physical therapist(临床医生)in private practice in Houston, Texas, urged designers “to place a cute, educational caution tag(标签)on all bags to inform of potential neck and shoulder dangers.” Above all, he recommended correct posture while carrying big purses, keeping the head and shoulders upright. Patients should also frequently change the size and weight of purses carried.
“The extra-large purses are quite phenomenal. They look beautiful when the women wear them, but I don’t know how aware they are of the potential problems,” Case said.
Placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient(有效率的)ways of carrying a load, according to a professor from Cornell University in New York State. “This causes a great imbalance,” he said. “If a big bag is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If not, then keep it light.”
