29、e(消极的)ideas that theyve broughtIn April 2016, the Advertising Standard Authority(ASA) in Britain stopped an ad from Gucci that has models dancing around and having fun, because the models in the ad were all quite thin. (Gucci, a famous brand(品牌)in the fashion industry and the company in question, sa

30、id, It was a personal idea as to whether a model looked unhealthily thin. It isnt new to us. The ASA stopped an ad in the year 2015 for the same reason.

34、ating problems.Im not blaming(指责)the fashion industry. Its not their fault(错误)that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like their. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing problem of body image in the fashion industry. By stopping the photos an

35、d videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctors notes from the videos, its pushing for the idea that the traditional fashion industrys body image standard should be changed and something more needy to be questioned.1What does Gucci mean by what it says?AGucci has the right to choose mode

Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves. One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equ

53、ipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the Sol-4. It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker. The Sol-4 works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off la

54、rge mirrors. The mirrors direct (把对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity. The cooker i

55、s also much friendlier than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals （人）would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke. At present, the cooker o

56、nly works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight. Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem. Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Afric
