Unit 2 The Olympic Games language points课时作业

Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　I was involved in unhealthy eating and exercise behaviour on and off for five years. For the majority of these five years, I appeared "normal" to the untrained eye. But I was suffering eating disorder (饮食紊乱). And I was struggling.

　　Recovery felt too hard. In the early stages of my recovery, I had to actively distance myself from triggering (诱发) material. But it didn't work for me. At last I decided not to struggle alone. I needed to admit to everyone else that I was struggling.

　　I made time for people who inspired me. One of those people was my best friend, Scarlett. She, without doubt, has helped save my life. I say this because she has inspired me to not only accept my body but embrace (拥抱) it. She has also shown me that being strong and smart is beautiful. She never escapes from delicious food, which has encouraged me to do the same.

　　We challenged the society's view on beauty together. We debated everything from body shaping to the fitness industry. We broke down social media and Photoshop. We discussed medication and panic attacks. Nothing_was_taboo. And that was exactly what I needed.

　　I needed someone who didn't just listen but understood. Having a mentor who guided me through the recovery process has, without doubt, been the key to my recovery. Having someone in my life who actively debunks (揭穿) the idea that losing weight is the answer is invaluable. I'm so glad I have such a friend in my life.

　　Observing the way Scarlett treats herself continues to inspire me and encourage me to pursue full recovery. My relationship with my body, food and exercise has changed and much of that I contribute to her influence and example.

　　I will keep moving forward. I will keep eating often and well. I will allow my body to be at whatever weight it wants to be at I will do this not just for me but to be an example to others who may need that little bit of inspiration, just like I did all those months ago.
