Rome, Paris and New York are the world's top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, form high-low skirts to the hottest new shoes. However, have you ever wondered the negative(消极的)ideas that they've brought


In April 2016, the Advertising Standard Authority(ASA) in Britain stopped an ad from Gucci that has models dancing around and having fun, because the models in the ad were all quite thin. (Gucci, a famous brand(品牌)in the fashion industry and the company in question, said, "It was a personal idea as to whether a model looked unhealthily thin." It isn't new to us. The ASA stopped an ad in the year 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor's note which could prove that they are at a healthy weight.
This brings up the question of weight, a hot topic for some people. What is the healthy weight for models? While I couldn't find an exact number, I did find this. According to ABC News, "Twenty years ago, the average(平均)fashion model weighed 8 percent less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23 percent less." This is worrying. When has it ever been okay for anyone, models included, to weigh less than the average?
People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help him have the advantages that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may try to do this through unhealthy ways. People may also think that they are overweight,   compared to the images(形象)of models' thin bodies. They see something wrong with their bodies, whether they are overweight or not. This may make people feel bad, unconfident about their bodies. Sometimes people may have eating problems.
I'm not blaming(指责)the fashion industry. It's not their fault(错误)that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like their. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing problem of body image in the fashion industry. By stopping the photos and videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctors' notes from the videos, it's pushing for the idea that the traditional fashion industry's body image standard should be changed and something more needy to be questioned.

A.Gucci has the right to choose models they like.

So how can we fight FOMO? Should we stop using social networks? "That isn't possible for many people,’’ says Dr. Taylor. "But before bed tonight, put your phone in another room. And before you go to sleep, think about the interesting things you're doing this week. And remember how lucky you are.’’

Who's building the new China? It's not the factory owners or the business men and women of China. It's someone else. We see them every day, They work day and night in the terrible working conditions and weather. They build the roads, the theaters, the cinemas and the supermarkets. They even clean up our rubbish. They are China’s migrant workers(民工).
More than 140 million workers have left their homes in the countryside to look for jobs in big cities all over China. They hope to be rich, but they realize they have many difficulties in making enough money. And one of the difficulties that these workers have is the pride and discrimination(歧视)from the people in cities. When night falls, everywhere I look I see the sad faces of the migrant workers. Many are living far away from those whom they love. Yes,they dress differently, they speak differently, and they have different habits, but they work hard .The people in cities regard them as outsiders, and most governments refuse to give them medical care and public schooling for their children. If China hopes to move into the future, many things need to change. The first is discrimination! We need to stop our discrimination against the migrant workers of China! They may not make as much money as some people in cities, but they are good honest people just trying to survive this game of life. These workers are very important and necessary to China’s economic (经济)development and have become an important force for the change of Chinese society. They are building the new China, so we should help them.

Britain was once covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live here. There were wolves, bears and wild cattle with less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.

However, all this changed. Now Britain’s population has increased to 65 million. Three-quarters of Britain consists of fields, towns or cities. Although 25% of land is countryside,new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals than ever before. Britain is one of the few countries in the world without a large wild carnivore(食肉动物).

Some people want to change this. Some say that Britain needs to become more natural again and suggest trees and plants that once grew in Britain should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in Britain should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”.

Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees have been planted and there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests—but soon there might be!

A.Their living conditions are destroyed by humans.B.They are being killed by their natural enemies.
