12、 her focused but funloving attitude.“In a game,I try never to put too much pressure on myself.The more I concentrate on having fun,the better I play.” She says.“I have good and bad days,just like everyone else,but I know the sun will always come up after a bad day.So all I have to do is to adjust my

17、having fun,because they were all extremely skinny.Banning ads due to the models extreme figures isnt new.The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason.In France,it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctors note providing that they are at a healthy weight.So what is the healthy weight fo
18、r models?Twenty years ago,the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman.Today,they weigh 23% less.People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do.This provides a standard of beauty,and therefore people who want to achieve thos
19、e things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways.People may think that they are overweight,due to the images of models thin figures.They see something wrong with their bodies whether they are overweight or not.This is a key factor in a lowered body image,low selfesteem,depression and possi
20、bly even eating disorders.Im not blaming the fashion industry by any means.Its not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs.I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry.By banning
21、 photos and videos,speaking out against them and pushing for doctors notes from the models,its pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industrys body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.28According to the text,why was one of Guccis ads banned?ABecause
22、 the models didnt act according to the rule.BBecause its models are much too thin.CBecause none of its models had a doctors note.DBecause its models were dancing in an unhealthy way.29We can infer from the numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3 that .Amany women on a diet to become modelsBpeople dont know
