问题     Weight(体重)is one of the taboo subjects. In America, it is OK, or even good, to be thin but it is an embarrassment(尴尬) to be overweight. In fact, the thinner you are, the more beautiful you are thought to be. You’ll find that most models(模特) are nothing more than skin and bones. A woman who is thin is easy to become popular. Of course, there are lots of people do their best to be thin. They may use all kinds of ways, such as doing exercise, or dieting(节食). But, sometimes, dieting may bring about some healthy problems.
    Americans are very careful about their weight and most of the time they do not tell others how much they weigh even if they are quite thin. Therefore, you’d better not ask about it. But if you really want to talk about this subject, it’s always safer to say, "Oh, it looks like you have lost weight. " However, if you would like to be honest and polite, I suggest that you should choose your words carefully, perhaps by saying:"Hey, you look great. Very healthy looking. " And always remember, you can not use the word "fat".
Many girls want to be thin because they want to be models.

选项 A、Right.
B、Wrong.
C、Doesn’t say.

答案C

解析 题句的意思是“许多女孩子想变苗条是因为她们想成为模特”。通读短文,我们发现在第一段第六句中提到许多人想尽办法变苗条(there are lots of people do theirbest to be thin),但具体原因以及题句中的girls却没有提到。虽然前一句中提到了模特,但那只是为了说明“越苗条越美”这种看法。事实上,由常识也可知,并非每个追求苗条的女性都想或者都能成为模特,因此本题应属“未提及”的信息。
