Body image (身体形象) — the way people feel about their looks — is a big problem for many people today.

But what’s the cause? In the study, many people point at the media (媒体). Turn on the TV, or look through the Internet and you’ll probably see beautiful models, handsome actors and healthy and strong sports stars.

Many young people feel stressed to look like these “perfect” people. According to a study, more than half the teenage girls in the USA think they should be on a diet. And almost 20% teenage boys are worried about their bodies and weight.

Body image problems don’t disappear as we get older, either. In the UK, for example (化妆品) than any other age group. Older men are having less and less hair, so they also spend a lot of money.

Is there a solution to this problem? A study in the UK advised that body image lessons should be provided in schools. Others suggest we need to judge (判断) people by what they do, not what they look like.

MBTI is a personality (性格) test. Many people in China are crazy about it now. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?”       1    

Many people find the test helpful. It groups people into 16 types. So they can make decisions more quickly. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “    2     I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They may think like this.

    3     Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with my friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’ ”?

Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older.     4     Don’t label (标签) yourself!

When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic(通用的).       5     So, don’t take it too seriously.

A．I’m an ‘I’ person.

B．But there are also problems.

C．Or, you can be both an “I” and an “E”.

D．They take the test to find out the answer.

E．They can be used to describe many people.
