Who are the most beautiful women in the world? Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. They win the Miss Latin American, Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the term "Miss" as in "Miss Universe" is an honored title.
These days, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on women’s looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride.
Are Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? "They are not really more beautiful here,"says Selena, who trains girls for the contest. "It’s just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else."
The preparation takes many hours a day. The contestants stretch their bodies and practice then-walks down the runway. They work on their speeches and practice answering questions such as, "Whom do you admire most in the world?" They starve to stay slim.They take classes to learn how to style their hair and apply make-up.
It isn’t easy. One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 pounds after the contest. She said the only thing she wanted to do after the contest was to eat. The cost is high as well. Fortunately the television station that holds the contest pays the costs.
Yet most of the contestants say it’s worth the effort. A former Miss Universe is now mayor of a district in a large city. Although she had no political experience before that, she has been asked to run for higher political office. Another winner has her own television show. Winners have an advantage they could not get anywhere else. "It’s the only chance you have to make it. "says one contestant. "You can’t get these opportunities any other way."
The passage is mainly about______.
选项
A、beauty contests around the world
