TEXT C Now, more than ever, it doesn’t matter who you are but what you look like. Janet was just twenty-five years old. She had a great job and seemed happy. She committed suicide. In her suicide note she wrote that she felt "un-pretty" and that no man ever loved her. Amy was just fifteen when hospitalized for eating disorders. She suffered from both anorexia and bulimia. She lost more than one hundred pounds in two months. Both victims battled problems with their body image and physical appearance. "Oh, I am too fat." "My butt is too big and my breasts too small." "I hate my body and I feel ugly." "I want to be beautiful." The number of men and women who feel these things about themselves is increasing dramatically. I can identify two main categories of body-image problems: additive versus subtractive. Those who enhance their appearance through cosmetic surgery fall into the additive group; those who hope to improve their looks through starvation belong to the subtractive category. Both groups have two things in common: they are never satisfied and are always obsessed. Eating disorders afflict as many as five to ten million women and one million men in the United States. One out of four female college students suffer form an eating disorders. But why Card Kirby, a university of Nebraska mental health counselor, says that body image and eating disorders are continuum addictions in which individuals seek to discover their identities. The idea that we should look a certain way and possess a certain shape is instilled in us at a very early age. Young girls not only play .with Barbie dolls that display impossible, even comical, proportions, but they are also bombarded with images as well, "We immediately identify physical attractiveness to mean success and happiness." The media can be blamed for contributing to various body image illnesses. We cannot walk into a bookstore without being exposed to perfect male and female bodies on the covers of magazines. We see such images every day--on commercials, billboards, on television, and in movies. These images continually remind women and young girls that if you want to be happy you must be beautiful, and if you want to be beautiful you must be thin. This ideal may be the main objective of the fashion, cosmetic, diet, fitness, and plastic surgery industries that stand to make millions from body-image anxiety. But does it work for us Are women who lose weight in order to be toothpick thin really happy Are women who have had breast implants really happy What truly defines a person Is it his or her physical appearance or is it character Beauty is supposed to be "skin deep". But we can all be beautiful inside. People are killing themselves for unrealistic physical standards dictated by our popular culture. We need to be made more aware of this issue. To be celebrity-thin is not to be beautiful nor happy. It can also be unattractive. Individuals who are obsessed with their bodies are only causing damage to themselves and their loved ones. But as long as the media maintain their message that "Thin is in", then the medical and psychological problems our society faces will continue to grow.

TEXT B Why do adults believe that alcoholic awareness programs teach young people not to over-drink Recently, reading an article about the alcohol-induced deaths of two students from two different universalities in Colorado, I came across a theme on teen drinking applicable to parents, school administration, and local government: they just don’t get it. To use a pun by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who changes WMD to PMD (people of mass destruction), I call much of the adult generation PMNs--people of mass naivete I say this because adults seem to believe that no child of theirs would touch alcohol before 21. Since that’s unrealistic, the issue should be: how can kids learn to drink responsibly The answer: by practising. Like figuring out how to throw a baseball, a person needs to learn by trial and error. Now, I am not proposing that under-age kids should have access to alcohol at all times, but they will never known when they have reached their limit without drinking alcohol first. Trust me, we feel when we have surpassed our limit. It has often been stressed to my generation that there should always be a designated driver who does not drink. But, realistically, when people go to a bar, are they not supposed to drink My friend, a willing designated driver, was asked by a friend on the bar why he did not have a drink in his hand. He responded, "I am driving." She then repeated her question while laughing. In other words, college students face intense pressure to drink when they are out socially, even though some manage to withstand it. The solution I propose is two-fold. First, to parents: ff you have children in high school, understand that your kids will drink at parties. Despite the legal drinking age, they will find a way to obtain beer or liquor. While you are home drinking this holiday season, have a drink with your kids and their friends, or at the very least, allow the to have a drink. Ensure they are safe, but also guarantee that they know what they are doing. Please introduce them to alcohol before they go off to college so that, on the first weekend, they don’t drink themselves into the ER. They do this not because they want to drink to get drunk, but because they do not know any better. Second, to lawmakers: How are teenagers supposed to learn to drink responsibly when they cannot even drink legally with their parents Having a drink with your parents at a restaurant is a much more adult experience than drinking with them at home. The truth of the matter is that almost all under-age drinking is done outside the home, in social circles. So lawmakers should make an exception and allow teenagers, who are one or two years under the drinking age and accompanied by their parents, to have a drink at a restaurant. Most of us live in an environment that is geared toward drinking and overdrinking, and adults must face this truth. If they do not wake up and see reality, their kids one morning might not wake up from a night of drinking. Which of the following statements can NOT be inferred from this passage
