      No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.

      The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer cloches. Consequently. I have been on a diet for the better-or worse-part of my life. Being rich wouldn't be bad either. but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land. leaving me millions of dollars.

      Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity's seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals.and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.

      Today the opposite is true. We have shifted lo thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat-or even only somewhat overweight-is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.

      Our obsession (迷恋) with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before. and that in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases. however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem-too much fat and a lack of fiber-than a weight problem.

      The real concern. then. is not that we weigh too much. but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fatcan also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vainglory (虚荣).

      1.[C]在文章第1段,作者指出“瘦被认为是这样的一种美德”;而在第4段,作者又提到“我们已经把瘦当成是一种新的美德标志”,故C正确。

      2.[A]文章第2段提到“我自己也幻想能穿上窄小的名牌衣服。因此,为了……我也节食减肥”。因此,A正确。

      3.[B]文章第3段“什么开始时候吃黄油成了罪过,多长点肉就会让人失去魅力?”和“在一些宗教团体里,财富是有望得到……而身体发福是富有和健康的标志。”说明看法是变化的,所以B正确。

      4.[B]文章的第4段和第5段提到了道德和健康,因此可看出,作者是从社会学和医学的角度批评了人们的观点,所以B正确。

      5.[A]文章第6段提到瘦身之后或者本来就不胖的人,如果以为可以自然而然健康起来而不必关注自己的整个生活方式,那才是危险的。由此可推断她们应该多注意她们的生活方式.A符合题意。
