四、阅读理解
“I wish I had straight hair.” “I’d like to be taller.” 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 that’s 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 behaves kindly towards his body. That includes our size and shape, skin（皮肤）colour, appearance（外貌）and any physical disability（缺陷）. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research（CAR）, says that having body confidence is about “accepting your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positive（积极的）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 do well at school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you are spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image（形象）, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention（注意）to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you.” She also suggests（建议）treating your body well by eating different kinds of food, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
