It's all about ME!
“Me”.It's a small word with big meaning, and
that meaning is as individual to each of us as the way
we look. Through interviews, I was able to discover
[1]what “me” means to other people, and how they
have learnt to appreciate the beauty in themselves.
Psychologist①, Dr Hart
[1]此处为what和how引导的宾语从句,并列作discover的宾语。

Jade, 24, accounting② manager

wouldn't? So, [4]ever since I discovered selfie apps that could remove my freckles, enlarge⑤ my eyes and even slim my jawline, I have become addicted⑥. I [5]spend hours every day editing my selfies, posting them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments.Each “like” boosts my confidence⑦. Dad thinks I am a narcissist, but [6]what I say is that my pictures aren't hurting anyone, so who cares?

Dr Hart says:

Anthony, 21, college student
I never really cared about my appearance.[8] That's why I could never understand my sister, who has 17 lipsticks and can't decide which one to use every morning.I only used to have five identical⑮ pairs of trousers and five identical shirts.[9]When I first moved into my dormitory⑯ at college, this

[第一部分 教材助读]
made my roommates⑰ quite confused as they saw me in the same clothes day after day. Last month they registered me for⑱ a TV programme, A New You. It felt bizarre at first. I didn't like being reviewed from head to toe⑲.But I was surprised at how good I looked after the makeover⑳!For the first time in my life I saw myself as a handsome and well-presented young man.At that moment, I perceived㉑ that external beauty㉒ isn't totally worthless. It can be an expression of our personalities,helping us make a good and positive impression on others.
[第一部分 教材助读]
Dr Hart says:
[10]It's true that inner beauty is very important, but external beauty shouldn't be completely overlooked㉓.It plays a part in the image we present to the world, and making an effort with your appearance can leave a positive first impression on others and boost your confidence.
[10]此处It为形式主语,真正的主语为that引导的从句。

Emma, 17, senior high school student
Ever since I was little, I've been larger than other girls.For a long time, this really bothered㉔ me. People would stare㉕ at me because I was “big” and I hated the way I looked.My anxiety drove㉖ me to try every means possible to lose weight, including dieting and weight-loss pills, but this brought me nothing but㉗ pain and poor health.Everything changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus-size model,Tess Holliday. Although she's larger than
[第一部分 教材助读]
most other models, she's really attractive㉘ and has the confidence to be herself—even in an industry full of beauty stereotypes. Her story changed my ideas about [11]what it means to be beautiful. I realised that my health, mental and physical, is the most important thing.Now I exercise a couple of times a week but just to keep fit. I mean, isn't it better that I'm large and happy, instead of skinny㉙ and unhealthy?
[11]此处为what引导的宾语从句,作介词about的宾语;其中what在从句中作means的宾语;it为形式主语,真正的主语为动词不定式to be beautiful。
[第一部分 教材助读]

都是关于“我”!
“我”。这个小小的字蕴含着十分丰富的含义。对我们来说,这个意义就像我们的外表一样是因人而异的。通过采访,我发现“我”对其他人意味着什么,以及他们是如何学会欣赏自己的美的。
心理学家,哈特博士
杰德,24岁,会计经理
[第一部分 教材助读]
正如《丑女贝蒂》中的歌词所唱,“这是一个美丽的人的世界”。我比大多数人更明白这一点,因为我一直相貌平平。我是个很想打扮得漂亮的女孩。好吧,谁不想呢?所以,自从我发现自拍软件可以祛除我的雀斑,放大我的眼睛,甚至让我的下颌轮廓变得纤细时,我就上瘾了。我每天花几个小时修我的自拍照,发布它们,并且频繁地打开手机,迫切地查看评论。每一个“赞”都增强了我的自信。爸爸认为我是个自恋狂,但我要说我的照片没有伤害任何人,所以谁在乎呢?
哈特博士说:
[第一部分 教材助读]
沉迷于在线修图表明缺乏自信并渴求关注。然而,杰德为获得他人赞誉所呈现的形象是虚假的。假装成为别人的人往往会误判自己。
安东尼,21岁,大学生
[第一部分 教材助读]
我从不真正在乎自己的外表。那就是我永远无法理解我姐姐的原因,她有17支口红,然而每天早上都无法决定用哪一支。我以前只有五条一模一样的裤子和五件一模一样的衬衫。当我第一次搬进大学宿舍时,室友们看到我每天都穿着同样的衣服,这让他们很困惑。上个月,他们给我报名了一个电视节目《全新的你》。一开始(我)感觉很奇怪。我不喜欢被人从头到脚的审视。但是,一番收拾后,我对自己的良好形象感到惊讶!我人生中第一次看到自己成为一个英俊且风度翩翩的年轻人。那一刻,我意识到外在美并非一文不值。它可以表达我们的个性,帮助我们给他人留下良好且正面的印象。
[第一部分 教材助读]
哈特博士说:
内在美固然非常重要,但不应该完全忽略外在美。它在我们给世人呈现的形象中发挥着作用,注重外表能给别人留下正面的第一印象并增强你的自信。
艾玛,17岁,高中生
[第一部分 教材助读]
从小我的体格就比其他女孩大。在很长一段时间里,这着实困扰着我。人们会盯着我看,因为我是“大块头”,我讨厌我的样子。我的焦虑使得我尝试一切可能的方法去减肥,包括节食和吃减肥药,但这给我带来的只有痛苦和不健康。有一天,当我偶然发现超大码模特泰斯·霍丽迪成功的故事时,一切都改变了。尽管她比其他大多数模特体格都要大,但她确实很有吸引力,甚至在这个对美充满刻板印象的行业里,都有做自己的自信。她的故事改变了我对美意味着什么的看法。我意识到我的身心健康是最重要的事情。现在我一周锻炼几次,但只是为了保持健康。我的意思是,我又壮硕又快乐,而不是又瘦又不健康,这不是更好吗?
[第一部分 教材助读]
哈特博士说:
我完全赞同艾玛——健康是美丽的,我们应该自信地流露出那种美丽。我真正钦佩的是她以这种方式承认健康不仅使我们更美丽,而且也使我们更快乐!
