Vera Wang, the queen of red-carpet dressing, didn’t go into the fashion business at the very beginning. She knew about its unattractive side, the hard work and, especially, the risks. And there were plenty of doubts along the way.

But every time one person understands what she’s trying to express with a certain design, she’s reminded of the reason why she became involved in fashion, and why she’s still in it: her efforts pay off when she’s helped a woman look and feel her best.

Wang, 63, was honored for lifetime achievement by the Council of Fashion Designers of America on June, 2013 at its famous awards show, which is often called “the Oscars of fashion.”

There’s rarely a Hollywood event or an A-list wedding where Wang’s name doesn’t come up. Her hit designs include Chelsea Clinton’s crystal-waistband wedding dress in 2010.

Wang also has two lower-priced lines. She’s developed a fragrance business and home-goods collection. And she has a branded flower bouquet business.

Wang wasn’t always sure this would be her path. She studied art history at Sarah Lawrence College and was a figure skater competing for a spot on the 1968 U.S. Olympic team. Her family wasn’t supportive of fashion as a career path, and although they had some financial means, they didn’t back her at first. So she went to work as an editor at Vogue, and then at Ralph Lauren, before starting her company in 1990 as a bridal brand. She earned fame and respect through hard work.

Her mentor（导师） described Wang as “a unique young woman filled with a rare passion for fashion.” “In all the years since, I have watched her drive, devotion and talent shape an entire world inspired by her own life—first as a bride, then as a wife and mother, but always as a strong and beautiful woman,” Lauren said.

1.What is Vera Wang’s attitude towards the fashion business?

A. She doubts whether she has made the right decision.

B. She considers it to be nothing but risks.

C. She thinks it worthwhile although not easy to do.

D. She is always sure that it will be her lifelong career.

2.The underlined sentence suggests that 　　　　　 .

A. Her designs are popular with famous people.

B. She is a successful actress in Hollywood.

C. She is an honored guest at an A-list wedding.

D. Her name often appears in a Hollywood event.

3.What can we learn about Vera Wang from the passage?

A. She came from a poor family.

B. She was also great at sports.

C. She showed no interest in lower priced business.

D. She became a dress designer directly after graduation.

4.Which of the following is not the reason for her success?

A. Her strong love for fashion.　　 B. Her parents support.

C. Her hard work.　　 D. Her talent.

Emily and her boyfriend had just had a fight. She felt alone and hopeless. Then she went into the kitchen and grabbed what she needed before going back up to her room quietly. She switched on the TV and started eating…and eating…for hours, until it was all gone.

What Emily didn't know at the time was that she was suffering from an illness called binge-eating disorder(BED)(暴饮暴食).

For years, Emily didn't tell anyone what she was doing. She felt ashamed, alone, and out of control. Why don't famous people confess (承认) to BED, as they do to anorexia? It's simple: There's a stigma（污名）involved. “Overeating is seen as very bad, but dieting to be skinny is seen as positive and even associated with determination," says Charles Sophy, a doctor in Beverly Hills , California.

"Some parents or friends may look at a teen with BED and think, 'Oh, a good diet and some will-power will do the trick.' But that's not true," says Dr.Ovidio Bermudez , a baby doctor at the Eating Recovery Center in Denver. "Eating disorders are real physical and mental health issues; it's not about willpower." The focus in treating BED shouldn't be on weight, because as with all eating disorders, the behaviors with food are a symptom of something deeper.

Like most other diseases, genetics may play a big part in who gets BED and who doesn't. If you have a close relative with an eating disorder, that means you're more likely to develop an eating disorder of your own.

Besides, many people with BED have tried at some point or another to control it by going on a diet, but paying more attention to food doesn't help. And it might even make things worse, like it did for Carla, who's 15 now and is recovering from BED. "My parents would always tease me about my weight, so when I was 14, I went on a very restrictive diet," she says. When you can't have something, you only want it more, so every time Carla would have a bite of something that wasn't allowed on her strict diet. She would quickly lose control and binge (狂欢).

1.What does the underlined word "anorexia" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Eating too much.

B. Eating junk food.

C. Loss of the wish to eat.

D. Always eating in a hurry.

2.According to Dr. Ovidio Bermudez, people with BED_______ .

A. just need a lot of willpower

B. can recover with a good diet

C. can recover with the help of others

D. need to deal with their health problems

3.What can we learn from Carla's story?

A. BED is an incurable disease.

B. BED has something to do with genes.

C. Going on a diet won't help BED patients.

D. BED patients should pay attention to their food.
