9、women. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runaways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness”by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest

10、 beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. Thats a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death-as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends wom

11、en, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans, if fully enforced,would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly,they hint that people should look to intang

12、ible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero orwasp-waist physiques.The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does n

13、ot meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set volu

14、ntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.In contrast to Frances actions, Denmarks fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Ch

15、arter clearly states: “We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people.”The charters main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW), which is run by the Danish

16、Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to helpelevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.2

17、1. According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?ANew runways would be constructed.BPhysical beauty would be redefined.CWebsites about dieting would thrive.DThe fashion industry would decline.22. The phrase “impinging on”(Line2, Para.2) is closest in meaning toAheightening the value

In Britain this has had a curious result. While polls show Britons rate “the cou

21、ntryside”alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political support.A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save “the beauty of natural places for ev

22、eryone forever.”It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience “a refreshing air.”Hills pressures later led to the creation of national parks and green belts. They dont make countryside any more, and every year concrete consumes more of it. It needs

23、constant guardianship.At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment. The Conservativesplanning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conservation, even authorizing“off-plan”building where local people might object. The concept of sustainabledeve

24、lopment has been defined as profitable. Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planning where councils oppose development. The Liberal Democrats are silent. Only Ukip, sensing its chance, has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using green land. Its Campaign to Protect Ru

25、ral England struck terror into many local Conservative parties.The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people are, in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents StirlingAckroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million houses in the

26、London area alone, with no intrusion on green belt. What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.The idea that “housing crisis”equals “concreted meadows”is pure lobby talk. The issue is not the need for more houses but, as always, where to put them. Under lobby pressure, George Osborne favo

27、urs rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets. This is not a free market but a biased one. Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their characte

28、r. We do not ruin urban conservation areas. Why ruin rural ones?Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands, Britain is Europes most crowded country. Half a century of town andcountry planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence, while still permitting low-dens

29、ity urban living. There is no doubt of the alternativethe corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.26. Britains public sentiment about the countryside_Adidntstart till the Shakespeare

The author holds that George Osbornes preference_Ahighlights his firm stand against lobby pressure.Bshows his disregard for the character of rural areas.Cstresses the necessity of easing the housing crisis.Dreveals a strong prejudice against urban areas.30.
