I　 learned a　 long　 time ago　 that hair has meanings—plenty of meanings. Growing up　 in　 the 1960s, my friends and I struggled without parents’ control over the length and style of our hair.

At　 the　 time,　 hair　 represented　 our　 need　 to　 break　 free　 from　 adults　 in　 our　 lives.　 Long　 hair represented our freed inner selves.

My clients are often surprised when I asked them questions about their hairstyle—why they choose it, how else they’ve worn their hair, how they feel about it, and so on. However, while it may　 seem　 to　 be　 a　 simple　 topic,　 even　 today　 our　 hairstyles　 still　 have many　 psychological　 and emotional meanings. Understanding some of those meanings can lead to understanding of many different aspects of a person’s mind. How we view our hair,　 for example, can show something about how we view ourselves.

Our　 hair　 can　 show　 physical　 and　 emotional well­being,　 desirability,　 and　 even　 social　 and financial　 status. When　 it　 becomes　 dull　 or　 fragile,　 it　 can　 communicate　 emotional　 and　 physical diseases. But hair can also show unrecognized and often unspoken daydreams about oneself and one’s world. One woman—a successful professional—wore her long hair in a thick bun(发髻).

But　 one　 day　 she　 showed me　 that　 tangled(缠结的) hair was kept　 in　 the bun. She　 said　 that　 she never brushed out the tangles because the hair showed her secret image of herself as a helpless, disturbed woman, like Ophelia in the play Hamlet.

Another woman came to therapy in a huge shirt and huge pants that she believed they could hide the weight she had put on since the birth of her child. She talked about how much she hated her　 body　 and　 how　 helpless　 she　 felt　 about　 doing　 anything　 about　 it.　 But　 her　 hair　 was　 always beautifully　 coloured　 and　 decorated. When　 I　 pointed　 out　 that　 she　 seemed　 to　 have　 a　 different relationship with her hair　 from she did with her body, she said　 that her hair had been　 thinning and　 that she was　 trying　 to make　 it　 look as good as she　 could.　 I pointed out　 that what she was doing　 with　 her　 hair　 and　 her　 body　 was　 kind　 of　 contradictory,　 and　 wondered　 if　 she　 had　 any thoughts about that.

She was surprised. But as we talked about her contradictory attitudes towards different parts of her physical self, we began to open up all sorts of other thoughts and ideas about her inner self.

And interestingly, as we continued opening those internal doors, changes started to happen. She started eating differently and exercising　 regularly. One day some months　 later, she appeared　 in my　 office　 in　 skinny　 jeans　 and　 a　 tight　 sweater,　 and　 her　 hair was　 pulled　 back　 in　 a　 ponytail.　 “I decided to see what would happen if I stopped trying to hide myself, ” she said with a big smile.

“And…?　 ”　 I　 asked.　 “People　 keep　 smiling　 at　 me　 in　 the　 street. My　 husband　 hugged　 me　 this morning for the first time in ages. And I feel good! ”

Besides, self­respect in both men and women can be damaged by thinning hair；they may feel　 alone　 even　 though　 they　 are　 really　 not. Given　 our　 cultural　 focus　 on　 physical　 appearance, youth, and health, hair loss can be unpleasant for both men and women. The market is filled with hair­enhancing　 treatments, but　 there　 are　 those who　 have decided　 to be　 against　 the　 system　 and change to the “bald is beautiful” position. But it is much harder for women to take the “bald is beautiful” approach to hair loss. We tend to try to hide it in one way or another.

But no matter what approach you use, it is important to remember that the thickness of your hair　 has　 nothing　 to　 do with　 your　 value　 in　 the world. Remember　 that　 you　 have　 nothing　 to　 be ashamed of if you have thinning hair. Thinning hair may not be something you can change, but it doesn’t have to control how you represent the person who lives underneath it.

It’s high time you had your hair cut ; it’s getting_ ____ .

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Myth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.

Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends, this make your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.

Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.

Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.

Myth: If you swallow gum，it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.

Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says NeiIzenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health Organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach--- so if you gum up the works on a regular basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.

Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.

Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet? “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结) within a minute or two”. Suggests Dr. Izenberg.

1.The length of your hair is determined by ________

A. cutting it often　　　 　 B. your gene

C. the food you eat　　　　 D. clearing up the dead split ends

2.According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will __________.

A. help you lose weight fast

B. help you lose weight slowly

C. cause you to become fatter

D. make you burning food more quickly

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach

B. Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it

C. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow in a few days later

D. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situation
