Dear Erik，

Surprise！ I believe you didnt expect a note from your mom in your lunchbox！ How is your

Because I had to leave so early this morning， I wrote this note last night and put it into your

lunchbox to wish you well on your speech （演讲） today. With all of your amazing research， writing，

Ⅲ 阅读理解。

At times， we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However， the pictures we see on TV

and social media （社交媒体） can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The

truth is that everybody is different—and thats a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our

bodies is really important for our self-confidence （自信）.

Body confidence is when someone accepts and is kind towards their body. Jade Parnell from

the Center for Appearance Research （CAR）， says that having body confidence is “about being

accepting of your body and what it does for you”.

If you feel positively （積极地） about your body， you are more likely to take care of it. Research

has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school.

However， feeling agitated about your body could make you step back， do less well at school and

even feel down.

Its important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image，

Parnell says， “Try to talk positively about your own body and other peoples bodies. Try not to pay

too much attention to appearance （外貌）. Instead， think about what your body does for you： do your

legs make you run really fast？” She also advises looking after your body well by eating different

kinds of foods， exercising to feel good and to have fun， and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that

you are more than how you look.

（ ）1. The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media.

A. may show everyone is different B. are perfect for people to follow

C. may give wrong ideas of looks D. show people how to be kind

（ ）2.The underlined word “agitated” probably means “ ” in Paragraph 3.

A. scared B. serious C. careless D. worried

（ ）3. Parnell will agree that you should.

A. accept your body as it is B. stop talking about others bodies

C. remember what you used to be like D. spend less money on your appearance

（ ）4. What does the writer mainly advise readers to do？

A. Eat less junk food. B. Be kind to their friends.

C. Take more exercise. D. Build up body confidence.
