The struggle for food has long been a drama for millions of impoverished (穷困的) Brazilians. But these days the nation is transfixed by another sort of starvation: anorexia (厌食) among the successful and well off (富裕的,处境好的).
The deaths of four young women in recent weeks from anorexia, a disorder characterized by an abnormal fear of becoming obese, an aversion (厌恶) to food and severe weight loss have been splashed across the front pages of newspapers nationwide.
The subject has become a morbid (病态的,恐怖的) fascination for Brazilians, and is even the theme of a popular TV soap opera. It has also touched off a debate within Brazil’s fashion industry that has long presented the rail-thin model as the paragon (模范) of female beauty.
The most recent victim was Beatriz Cristina Ferraz Lopes Bastos, a 23-year-old teacher whose death Sunday at a hospital in Jau, 200 miles northeast of Sao Paulo, was reported by national television news programs. Local media reports said she was 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed just 77 pounds.
"Another victim of anorexia," the newspaper Globo said on its website Tuesday, alongside a glamorous photo of the blonde Bastos, who was also a skilled pianist, amateur historian and author of a literature column for a hometown Web site.
The newspaper Folha de S. Paulo reported she described herself as "thin" on an Internet discussion group and friends said they had to "fight with her to eat." A former boyfriend, Leandro Murgo, told reporters Bastos was a chubby (丰满的,圆胖的) teenager and became fixated on losing weight.
Anorexia became big news in Brazil last month with the death of 21-year-old Ana Carolina Reston, a successful model who died of generalized infection caused by anorexia nervosa. She reportedly carried just 88 pounds on her 5-foot-8 frame.
"Take care for your children because their loss is irreparable (不能挽回的)," Reston’s mother, Miriam, told Globo after her death. "Nothing can make the pain go away. No money in the world is worth the life of your child."
Two days later, on Nov. 16, college student Carla Sobrado Casalle, 21, died in the southeastern city of Araraquara (阿勒山[土耳其东部]), also with symptoms linked to anorexia. She was just under 5-foot-9 and weighed 99 pounds. A third anorexia victim died later in the month. [br] We learned from the third paragraph that Brazilians ______.
选项
A、all disagree that rail-thin model is the paragon of female beauty
B、believe that rail-thin shape is the paragon of female beauty
C、believe that anorexia is a good way to lose weight for being beauty
D、dispute that rail-thin shape is the paragon of female beauty especially through aversion to food
答案
D
解析
第三段告诉我们:巴西人已经十分关注厌食减肥,他们对于电视剧中出现的这一主题是有争议的,他们认为过瘦已经不是女性美的标准了。因此,只有D项符合原文意思。
