Have you ever heard the term "body image"? It refers to the way we see our own bodies and how we feel about them. Some people have a good body image—they know that while their bodies might not be pecfect, they are still healthy and happy.

But many others—especially women—have a "broken" view of their bodies. They feel like they can never be skinny enough.

I have seen this among my own female(女性的) friends. I often see them complain about their weight on my Wechat moments(微信朋友圈), even though they are already in good shape. I want to tell them to stop worrying and complaining, but it's not really my place to do that.

This phenomenon(現(xiàn)象)has been a problem in the US and other countries for many years. But it seems to me that Chinese society places extra pressure on women to look perfect.

Some of you may remember the"A4 challenge" of 2016. Women posted pictures of themselves online, comparing their waist( 腰部) to the width of a sheet of A4 printing paper. A4 sheets are only about 20 cm wide. For most people, that would mean that they are at an unhealthy weight.

Unluckily, society and the media(媒體) will probably always promote(提倡) these kinds of strict beauty ideals. But the thing to remember is that as long as you are not extremely overweight or extremely skinny, you're probably in good health and are fine just the way you are.

1.What does “ having a good body image” mean?

A.“women are always in good shape”

D.“women love to post pictures on their Wechat moments”

3.What does the author(作者)think of the “A4 challenge”?

A.He thought it was fun. B.He disagreed with it.

C.He wanted to take part in it. D.He was angry about it.

4.What can we infer(推斷) from the story？

A.Strict beauty ideals should be promoted.

B.Chinese society places very little pressure on women.

C.Winning the “A4 challenge” means that you are healthy.

D.There are some people who will never be satisfied with their bodies.

On my birthday my parents told me they had my _______ outside in the back yard. At once I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, _______ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so _______! I thought I hurt my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment _______ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I _______ the old bike and rode it, feeling bad that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.

As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me _______ much more than just a rusty（生銹的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love.
