Almost 60 percent of overweight women in Britain say they would not allow their partner to see them naked, a body image survey showed last Thursday.
Despite the current craze for curvy figures, too much body fat has a devastating impact on every aspect of a woman’s life, Slimming Magazine said. The magazine’s annual survey of 2,000 women, all of whom regarded themselves as overweight, revealed that more than 80 percent believed their excess weight was damaging their health, ruining their sex lives and holding back their careers.
“Overweight women don’t want to be stick insects, they just want to fall within an average weight range and feel healthier, sexier and more confident,” said Alison Hall, the magazine’s editor.
”What the media is talking about at the moment is that curves are back. People want to be more like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jennifer Lopez, and that’s great. But we’re into making sure women are at a good weight for their height.”
The survey showed 76 percent of women believed overweight people were seen as being less intelligent than slim people are. Some 80 percent thought it was easier for slim women to climb the career ladder.
Government statistics show that more than half the British population is now overweight, but 81 percent of women received no guidance from their general practitioners, the survey said.
National Health Service spokeswoman Gail Robinson said the government did not record information about dieters seeking advice from their doctors.

Forever Young (Joan Baez)
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true.
May you already do for others,
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars.
And climb on every rung.
And may you stay…forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous?
May you grow up to be true.
May you always know the truth,
And see the light surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong.
May you stay…forever young.
Forever young, forever young.
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May you feet always be swift.
May you have a strong foundation,
When the wind changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your songs always be sung.
And may you stay… forever young.
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
H. Read the passage, using the way you have learned in this class .
Oceanography has been defined as “ the application of all sciences to the study of the sea.”
Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “ What is at the bottom of the oceans?’ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which sounding were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.
Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.
