gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it acrime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.The parliament also agreed to banwebsites that"incite excessive thinness"by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives.They suggest beautyshould not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That's a start.And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models fromstarving themselves to death-as some have done.It tells the fashion industry thatit must take responsibility for the signal it sends women,especially teenage girls,about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans,if fully enforced,would suggest to women (and many men)thatthey should not let others be arbiters of their beauty.And perhaps faintly,theyhint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellectrather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.The French measures,however,rely too much on severe punishment tochange a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing.Underthe law,using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index ofbody mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing onmaterial adornment and idealized body types.In Denmark,the United States,anda few other countries,it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashionimages that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.In contrast to France's actions,Denmark's fashion industry agreed last monthon rules and sanctions regarding the age,health,and other characteristics ofmodels.The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:"We areaware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on bodyideals,especially on young people."The charter's main tool of enforcement is todeny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week(CFW),which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute.But in general it relies on aname-and-shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of bodyideals may be the best step.Even better would be to help elevate notions of beautybeyond the material standards of a particular industry.英语（一）试题.3.（共14页）21.According to the first paragraph,what would happen in France?[A]Physical beauty would be redefined.[B]New runways would be constructed.[C]Websites about dieting would
