France
，
which
prides itself as the global innovator of fashion ,
has decided its
fashion industry has
lost an absolute right
to
define physical
beauty for
women.
Its
lawmakers gave preliminary approval
last week to a law that would make it a crime to
employ
ultra-thin
models
on
runways
.
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 beauty should
not be defined by looks that end up
im
pinging on health. That’s 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
women , 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
2
people
should
look
to
intangible
qualities
like
character
and
intellect
rather
than
dieting their way to size zero or wasp-
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 not meet a
govemment-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
voluntary standards for models and
fashion images that
rely more on peer
pressure for enforcement.
In contrast to France’s actions,
Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on
rules and sanctions regarding the age,
health, and other characteristics of models. The
newly
revised
Danish
Fashion
Ethical
Charter
clearly
states:‖We
aware
of
and
take
responsibility
for
the
impact
the
ideals,
especially
on
young
people‖.
The
charter’s
main tool of enforcement is (CFW),
which is run by the Danish

For
the
first
time
in
history
more
people
live
in
towns
than
in
the
country,
In
Britain
this
has
had
a
c
urious
result.
While
polls
show
Britons
rate‖the
countryside‖alongside the royal
family,Shakespeare and the National Health Serivce
(NHS)
at
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
everyone
forever‖
It
was
specifically
to
provide
city
dwellers
with
space
for
leisure
where
they
could
experience―a refreshing air .‖Hill is
pressure later led t
o creation of
national parks and
green
belts.
They
don’t
make
countryside
any
more
，
and
every
year
concrete
consumes more of it
. it needs constant guardianship.
At the next election none
of the big parties seem likely to endorse this
sentiment.
The
conservatives
planning
reform
explicitly
gives
rural
development
priority
over
conservation
，
even
authorsing
―off
-<
/p>
plan‖building
where
local
people
might
object.
The
concept
of
sustainable
development
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 Campaign to protect
rural 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 stirling
ackroyd recently
identified enough sites for half a million houses
in the London area
4
alone
，
with
no
intrusion
on
green
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
Osboyne
favours
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 town and villages have grown
and will
26
Britain is public sentiment about the countryside
A has brought
much benefit to the NHS
B didn’t start till the Shakespearean
age
C is fully backed by the royal family
D is not well
reflected in politics
27 According to Paragraph
2
，
the achievements of the
National Trust are now
being
A gradually
destroyed
B
effectively reinforced
C properly protected
D largely overshadowed
28 which of the
following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A Ukip may gain
from its support for rural conservation
B the
conservatives may abandon ‖off
-
plan―building
C the liberal
democrats are losing political influence
D labour is
under attack for opposing development
29 the author holds that
George Osborne is preference
A reveals a strong
prejudice against urban areas
B shows his disregard for
character of rural areas
C stresses the necessity of easing the
housing crisis
D highlights his firm stand against
lobby pressure

30 in the last
paragraph
，
the author shows
his appreciation of
A the size of population in Britain
B the enviable
urban lifestyle in Britain
C the town-and-country planning in
Britain
D the

There will
eventurally come a day when The New York Times
ceases to publish
stories on newsprint
.Exactlly when that day will be is a matter of
debate.‖So
metime
in the
future ‖,the paper’s publisher said back in
2010.
Nostalgia
for
ink
on
paper
and
the
rustle
of
pages
aside,
there’s
plenty
of
incentive
toditch
print.
The
infrastructure
required
to
make
a
physical
newspaper
—
printing presses ,delivery
trucks-
isn’t just expensive it’s
excessive at
a
time
when
online-
only
competitors
don’t
have
the
same
set
of
financial
s are
migrating
away
from print
away .And though print ad sales
still dwarf thire online and mobile
counterparts,revenue from print is still
declining.
Over
way be high and circulation lower ,but rushing to
eliminate its print edition
would be a
mistake ,say BuzzFeed CEO Joah Peretti.
Pereti says the
Time should’t waste time getting out of the print
business,
But only if they go about it the right
w
ay .‖Fighting out of a way to
accelerate
that transition
would make sense of them,‖he said,―but
if
you discontinue it―you’re
going to have your most loyal customers
really upset with you.‖
Sometimes,that’s worth
making a change i gives the e
xample
seen
as a blunder,‖he said.―The move
turned out to be if peretti would rale
prices and make it into more of a
legacy product.‖
The most loyal customers
would still get the product they favor,the idea
goes,and
they’d
feel
like
they
were
helping
sustain
the
quality
of
something
they
believe
in
,‖So
if
you’re
overpaying
for
print,you
could
feel
like
you
were
helping,‖Perettisaid
―Then increase it at a higher rate each year and
essentially try to
generate
additional
revenue.‖In
other
words,if
you’re
going
to
make
a
print
6
product ,make
it for the people who are already obsessed with it
.which way be what
the time is doing
already .Getting the print edition seven days a
week costs each
–
a
year-more than twice as much as a
digital-only subscription.
New York Times is considering ending
its print edition partly due to
[A]the pressure from its
investors.
[B]the complaints from its readers.
[C]the high
cost of operation.
[D]the increating online ad sales.

that,in face of the present situation,the Times
should

strategic adjustments
[B]end the print sdition for good.
[C]seek new
sources of readership.
[D]aim for efficient management.
can be
inferred form Paragraphs 5and6 that a
―legacy
product‖
[A]will have
the cost of printing reduced.
[B]is meant for the most
loyal customers.
[C]helps restore the glory of former
times.
[D]expands the popularity of the paper.
i believes
that,in a changing world,
[A]traditional luxuries can stay
unaffected.
[B]aggressiveness better meets
challenges.
[C]cautiousness facilitates problem-
solving.
[D]legacy businesses are becoming
outdated.
of
the following would be the best title of the
Text
?
[A]Make Your Print
Newspaper a Luxury Good.
