“I’m on a diet.”
“Myoverweight is killing me.” Do these phrases sound familiar? They’re said timeand time again by young girls, who are constantly being pressured to look“perfect”. But what makes a person “perfect”?

I’d say that a perfect person is someone who is happy and confident,though our society and the media seem to think differently.

Everywhere you look, you see “perfect” images of what younggirls should be. We’re shown images of perfect skin, perfect teeth, silky hairand a gorgeous (极好的)figure. Yet the same magazines and television shows disagree with themselves bytelling us that size 16 is normal.

The media put famous peopleunder even more pressure, expecting far too much from them. Calista Flockhart,who plays Ally McBeal, is accused of being too thin, while Jennifer Lopez andChristina Ricci are told they are overweight. The press makes impossibledemands on famous people, and then they attack them when they fail to live upto them.

They say that being thin will improve your self-esteem andsuggest numerous diets. I wonder just how many people feel as though their self- esteem is actually being eaten away by hundreds of smooth photographs theypublish of perfect, air-brushed models.

None of us is perfect, andtrying to be perfect just leaves you feeling bad about yourself.

1. What does the author thinkis the reason for young girls to try to look “perfect”?

A. They enjoy doing so.

3. Why does the author thinkfamous people are under even more pressure?

A. Because they are expected too much by the public.

B. Because they are expecting too much from life.

A. how particular the media are about public figures for theirimage

B. how influential they can be on the general public

C. how miserable they can be to the general public
