问题    From hair sprays to hairpieces, from reducing diets
to twenty-four-hour fitness centers, from false
eyelashes to blue contact lenses, we show our concerns                      【M1】_____
for how we look--and we support a multibillion
-dollar industry in process. And how do we                                  【M2】_____
calculate the prices we pay in mental anguish
over our personal appearance? Should we not quite
measure up to the ideal the culture demands us?                             【M3】_____
It seems most of us believe the words of
philosopher Thomas Fuller: "By the skin you                                 【M4】_____
may judge the nut. ’ For most people in the United
States, the husk should not be flawless. Reflect for a                      【M5】_____
moment on some of the ways people in the United
States make judgments based on personal appearance,
dress, and the objects we carry or place on                                 【M6】_____
our bodies. Studies show that being overweight in
the United States reduces income, lowers the chances
of getting married, and help decrease the amount                            【M7】_____
of education one receive. When deciding whether
or not to strike up a conversation with a total stranger,
we are influenced in the way that person looks. Ruben                       【M8】_____
says we make inferences (often faulty) about another’s "intelligence, gender, age,
approachability, financial well-being, class, tastes, values, and cultural background"
from attractiveness, dress, and personal artifacts. Our culture’s obsession with attractiveness
is so deep-seated, and begins early in life, that, as one study revealed, even very【M9】_____
young children select attractive friends over less attractive one.          【M10】_____
【M4】
