Perhaps, every woman still remember this famous saying, "No woman can be too rich or too thin." This saying often attributed to the late Duchess 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 my self have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. 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 un less 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 symbol of probable salvation and high morals and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to 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 with thinness is also fuelled 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 balance diet without a lot of fat can 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.
The author criticizes women’s obsession with thinness______.
选项
A、from an economic and educational perspective
B、from sociological and medical points of view
C、from a historical and religious standpoint
D、in the light of moral principles
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。文章第五段提到出于对健康的考虑,妇女会更加迷恋于追求苗条。而后作者从社会学的角度反驳了这一观点,认为胖人的增多与生活方式有关。接着作者又从医学的角度分析了饮食不合理更容易导致消化系统的癌变,而不是体重的问题。因此,选项B是正确答案。
