II (Reading)
1. Read the following text carefully
TOP-MODELS

They are beautiful, famous, rich, talked about and always at the center of attention. There are a lot
of models in the world, that’s why they have little chance of becoming successful and well known.
If a girl wants to have a career as a model, she has to be wise, exceptionally pretty and she has to
have style.
She has to be tall, slim, photogenic, healthy and she has to have good body proportions.
People consider models’ looks and behavior to be unnatural, but we must remember that they are people,
too. They can be ordinary models, who work in small towns, in most cases for personal satisfaction; photo-
models, who don’t have to be tall, only pretty, and the best of them are top models who are popular all
over the world. There are only about thirty top models.
They have a disciplined life. It means that they have to eat carefully, keep fit and always look great.
They earn millions because of their beauty in many ways: they wear creations made by the most famous
world designers like: Armani, Versace, Calvin Klein, etc; they have contracts with world renowned cosmetics
houses such as: Max Factor, Revlon, Vichy, etc. They take part in advertising campaigns (Coca-Cola for
example) but they spend most of their time on fashions shows where the latest fashion hit is presented.
The best fashion agencies in the world are: Elite, Ford, Metropolitan… and fashion centers are: Milan, Paris,
New York and London.
Some of them became actresses like Marilyn, Sharon Stone… but most don’t manage it. We think
that they have everything and that they are always happy, but it’s not true, because in that world of
dreams, great ambitions and cruel competition it is very hard to survive especially for young girls who are
naïve and don’t know how to show their beauty in the right way.
