There is nothing new about TV and fashion magazines giving girls unhealthy ideas about how thin they need to be in order to be considered beautiful. What is surprising is the method psychologists at the University of Texas have come up with to keep girls from developing eating disorders. Their main weapon against superskinny (role) models: a brand of civil disobedience dubbed "body activism".
Since 2001, more than 1,000 high school and college students in the U.S. have participated in the Body Project, which works by getting girls to understand how they have been buying into the notion that you have to be thin to be happy or successful. After critiquing (评论) the so-called thin ideal by writing essays and role-playing with their peers, participants are directed to come up with and execute small, nonviolent acts. They include slipping notes saying "Love your body the way it is" into dieting books at stores like Borders and writing letters to Mattel, makers of the impossibly proportioned Barbie doll.
According to a study in the latest issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, the risk of developing eating disorders was reduced 61% among Body Project participants. And they continued to exhibit positive body-image attitudes as long as three years after completing the program, which consists of four one-hour sessions. Such lasting effects may be due to girls’ realizing not only how they were being influenced but also who was benefiting from the societal pressure to be thin. "These people who promote the perfect body really don’t care about you at all," says Kelsey Hertel, a high school junior and Body Project veteran in Eugene, Oregon. "They purposefully make you feel like less of a person so you’ll buy their stuff and they’ll make money."
选项
答案
TV and fashion magazines
解析
细节题。本题询问女孩们是从哪接受这样的观念:想要漂亮,就得瘦。通过to be considered beautiful定位到(47)处。根据原文(47)处可知。电视和时尚杂志总是给予女孩们不健康的观念:想要美丽,她们就得很瘦,这毫无新意。因此,该题的答案是TV and fashion magazines。
