You may have heard some of the fashion industry horror stories: models eating tissues or cotton balls to hold off hunger, and models collapsing from hunger-induced heart attacks just seconds after they step off the runway.
Excessively skinny models have been a point of controversy for decades, and two researchers say a model’s body mass should be a workplace health and safety issue. In an editorial released Monday in the American Journal of Public Health, Katherine Record and Bryn Austin made their case for government regulation of the fashion industry.
The average international runway model has a body mass index(BMI)under 16—low enough to indicate starvation by the World Health Organization’s standard. And Record and Austin are worried not just about the models themselves, but about the vast number of girls and women their images influence.
" Especially girls and teens," says Record. " Seventy percent of girls aged 10 to 18 report that they define perfect body image based on what they see in magazines. " That’s especially worrying, she says, given that anorexia(厌食症)results in more deaths than does any other mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
It’s commonly known that certain diseases are linked with occupations like lung disease in coal miners. Professional fashion models are particularly vulnerable to eating disorders resulting from occupational demands to maintain extreme thinness.
Record’s suggestion is to prohibit agents from hiring models with a BMI below 18.
In April, France passed a law setting lower limits for a model’s weight. Agents and fashion houses who hire models with a BMI under 18 could pay $ 82,000 in fines and spend up to 6 months in jail. Regulating the fashion industry in the United States won’t be easy, Record says. But with the new rules in France, U. S. support could make a difference. "A designer can’t survive without participating in Paris Fashion Week" , she says, adding,"Our argument is that the same would be true of New York Fashion Week. "
What do we learn about France’s fashion industry?
选项
A、It has difficulty hiring models.
B、It has now a new law to follow.
C、It allows girls under 18 on the runway.
D、It has overtaken that of the United States.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。第七段以法国为例解释说明雷科德的建议。第一句提到,法国四月份通过了一项法律,对模特的体重规定了更低的限制。第二句详细解释道,任何雇用体重指数低于18的模特的公司都会受到处罚。因此B)“现在有一项新的法律要遵守”符合原文表述,故答案为B)。
