Body image is a person's opinions, thoughts, and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. Having a positive body image means feeling pretty satisfied with the way you look，appreciating your body for its capabilities and accepting its imperfections. Body image is part of someone's total self-image. So how a guy feels about his body can affect how he feels about himself.
Recognize your strengths. Different physical qualities and body types are good for different things — and sometimes the things you did well as a kid can change during puberty (青春期）.What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, flexibility, strength, or coordination leads you to excel at a certain sport. Or perhaps you have some non-sports skills. Just exploring talents that you feel good about can help your self-respect and how you think of yourself.
A good body doesn't always translate into athletic success. Too often, the way guys see their body image is closely associated with their performance on a sports field or in the gym. But what if you don't like team sports or you got cut from a team you really wanted to make?
If you don't like team sports，find another form of physical activity that gets you going. This will help you stay in shape and help you to appreciate the skills you may not have realized you had in a team environment.
If you like team sports but didn't make a particular team，use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at, not to regret what you aren't best at.
Look into starting a strength training program. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good builds don't just happen — they take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet. There's no need to work out too much. A healthy routine can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Another benefit of working out properly is that it can cheer up yourself ——lifting weights can lift your spirits.
Don't harm your body, respect it! To help improve your view of your body, take care of it. Treating yourself well over time results in a healthier，stronger body ——and that contributes to a better body image. Practicing good living habits — regular showering ； taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin； wearing clean clothes, etc.——also can help you build a positive body image.
Be yourself. Your body is just one part of who you are — along with your talent for comedy, a quick wit, or all the other things that make you unique. Your talents, skills, and beliefs are just as much a part of you as the cover they come in. So try not to let minor imperfections take over.
55. The HM)st important point of body image lies in it that ijt is closely associated with ______
A. one's physical appearance B. one's athletic achievements

B
Beverley had been feeling dull, bored and a bit out of it. He mentioned his mood (state of mind) when going to Andrew for a sports massage. He wondered whether he should take up Tai Chi. But Andrew didn’t think so.
“Tai Chi is great for people who want to feel grounded, but that isn’t your problem,” he said. “What you need is something more exciting, like dancing.”
In future, therapists(理疗专家) may well suggest that you fight your sadness with a course in kickboxing, and family doctors might suggest that you take a rest in the mountains instead.
We’ve long been aware that exercise has benefits beyond the physical ones; that activity can relax you, and help psychological well-being by reducing stress, anxiety and sadness.
Now some trainers and sports psychologists are going further and examining how to identify the correct exercise for a client’s(当事人) specific state of mind and personality.
Professor Stuart Biddle, an exercise and sports psychologist based at Loughborough University, England, has researched the effects of exercise on moods.
One of his findings was that, if your problem is low self-esteem, weight training should be your bag. “Working with weights builds strength,” he says, “and creates a stronger body image.”
Anger management, meanwhile, demands bursts of explosive(爆发性的) activity, from sports such as boxing or tennis.
This is because anger makes the body release（释放）adrenaline(肾上腺素), which causes heart rate and blood pressure to rise and muscles to become tighter —— the physiological changes required if you are to defend yourself.
Research shows that the “punch-bag(用拳头击打沙袋)” method of releasing disappointment and anger through hitting a boxing opponent(对手) or tennis ball, can help with fighting issues.
They have also found that teamwork is good for self-esteem and that those who are brought together to work in a social setting become more lively.
Which type of exercise will best help is, of course, down to the individual. Clearly, before you can find the best physical activity for yourself, you have to know your needs.
Ask yourself a few questions such as: What do I need in my life? Which issues are difficult for me? Am I sad or troubled? Only then can you decide whether you need taking up, or taking down.
5.Why did Andrew think Beverley shouldn’t take up Tai Chi?
A. Because Beverley was too weak.
B. Because Beverley was too foolish.
C. Because Beverley’s mind was out of control.
D. Because Beverley lacked activity.
6. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Psychologists haven’t realized the relationship between exercise and health.
B. People have already realized the relationship between exercise and spirits.
C. Boxing and tennis are the best ways to increase one’s self-esteem.
D. Trainers and psychologists don’t agree with each other on exercise.
7. Professor Stuart Biddle thinks that ____ .
A. anger should be examined by doctors
B. anger should be taken away by medicine
C. anger should be given off by activities
D. anger should be held back by oneself
8. The main idea of this passage may be ____ .
A. sports build up your body
B. sports are helpful to your mind
C. heart trouble is due to anger
D. anxiety and sadness are harmful to you

We’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.
Worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?
We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.
In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.
Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.
Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.
It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.
1.What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?
A. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.
B. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.
C. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.
2.Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?
A. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.
B. A lot of effective diet pills are available.
C. Body image has nothing to do with good food.
D. There are too many overweight people in the world.
3.The example of Finland is used to illustrate (说明)_________.
A. the cause of heart disease
B. the effectiveness of a campaign
C. the fashion of body shaping
D. the history of a body-conscious country
4.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Overweight or Underweight? B. WHO in a Dilemma
C. No Longer Dying of Hunger D. Actions or Excuses?

Teenagers are under a lot of pressure to be thin. They resort to starving, vomiting and eating only diet foods to try and be thin. Television is a big influence on them. They watch shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place and feel they need to look as thin as the actresses on these shows. Society is brainwashing young people into believing that being thin is important and necessary.
Diet commercials are constantly appearing on our television screens telling us that once we lose weight, we will be happy. While you’re standing at the grocery store you are surrounded by magazines claiming to have the newest and best diet. Each month another new diet appears claiming to be the diet to end all diets. If diets really worked, then why are there so many of them? The reason a new diet pops up each month, is that last’s month’s diets did not work. The truth of the matter is that DIETS DON’T WORK.
The diet and fashion industries are not totally to blame for society’s obsession with thinness. We are the ones keeping them in business. We buy into the idea that we can attain the “ideal” body image. We allow ourselves to believe the lies being thrown at us constantly. We are throwing away our hard earned money trying to live up to the standards that society has set for us. It’s unfortunate, but in today’s society, people have forgotten that it’s what’s inside a person that counts, not what’s on the outside. We need to start loving and accepting each other for who we are, not what we look like.
Once again, I would like to stress the fact that diets don’t work. Eating three healthy meals a day, a few snacks and doing moderate exercise, will allow your body to go to its natural set point. Next time you decide that you are going to start another diet because you feel you are too fat, stop, sign up for a self-esteem class instead. That would be money well spent.
1.What are Beverly Hills 90210 and Meltrose Place ?
A．Fashion shows. B．Two famous place in America.
C．Popular TV shows. D．Two TV channels.
2.According to the author, which of the following statements is NOT true ?
A．Our society is flooded with diet commercials.
B．The latest diet is necessarily better than all the previous ones.
C．People in North America become crazy over Dieting.
D．All diets are useless in fact
3.Why are there so many diets popping up according to the second paragraph?
A．Because teenagers are under a lot of pressure to be thin.
B．Because there are more and more fat teenagers.
C．Because the diets have no effect.
D．Because teenagers are fascinated by the newest and best diet.
4.We can infer from this passage that __________ .
A．if your diet doesn’t work, the only thing you can do is to accept your body image .
B．attending a self-esteem class will help you keep fit.
C．we shouldn’t pay attention to the size of our body.
D．what’s inside a person is much more important than his/her appearance.

That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 73 .
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen. 74 . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits --- regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on --- can help you build a positive body image.
