Passage One
If movie trail ers are supposed to cause a reaction, the preview for "United 93" more than succeeds. Featuring no famous actors, it begins with images of a beautiful morning and passengers boarding an airplane. It takes you a minute to realize what the movie's even about. That’s when a plane hits the World Trade Center. the effect is visceral(震撼心灵的). When the trail er played before "Insid e Man" last week at a Hollywood theater, audience members began calling out, "Too soon!" In New York City, the response was even more dramatic. The Loews
Theater in Manhattan took the rare step of pulling the trail er from its screens after several complaints.
"United 93" is the first feature film to d eal explicitly with the events of September 11, 2001, and is certain to ignite an emotional d ebate. Is it too soon? Should the film have been made at all? More to the point, will anyone want to see
it? Other 9/11 projects are on the way as the fifth anniversary of the attacks approaches, most notably Oliver Stone's " Worl d Trade Center." but as the forerunner, "United 93"will take most of the heat, whether it d eserves it or not.
The real United 93 crashed in a Pennsylvania fiel d after 40 passengers and crew fought back against the terrorists. Writer-director Paul Greengrass has gone
to great lengths to be respectful in his d epiction of what occurred, proceeding
with the film only after securing the approval of every victim's family. "Was I
surprised at the agreement? Yes. Very. Usually there’re one or two families who more reluctant," Greengrass writes in an e-mail. "I was surprised at the
extraordinary way the United 93 families have welcomed us into their lives and
shared their experiences with us." Carol e O'Hare, a family member, says, "They
were very open and honest with us, and they mad e us a part of this whol e
project." Universal, which is releasing the film, plans to d onate 10% of its opening
weekend gross to the Flight 93 National Memorial Fund. That hasn't stopped
criticism that the studio is expl oiting a national tragedy. O'Hare thinks that's
unfair. "This story has to be tol d to honor the passengers and crew for what they
did," she says. "But more than that, it raises awareness. Our ports aren't secure.
Our borders aren't secure. Our airlines still aren't secure, and this is what
e to hear."

There is nothing new about TV and fashion magazines giving girls unhealthy
ideas about how thin they need to be in ord er to be consid ered beautiful. What is
surprising is the method psychologists at the University of Texas have come up
with to keep girls from d eveloping eating disord ers. Their main weapon against
super skinny (rol e) models: a brand of civil disobedience dubbed “body activism.
Since 2001, more than 1,000 high school and coll ege stud ents in the U.S. have
participated in the Body Project, which works by getting girls to und erstand how
they have been buying into the notion that you have to be thin to be happy or
successful. After critiquing (评论) the so-called thin ideal by writing essays and
role-playing with their peers, participants are directed to come up with and
execute small, nonviolent acts. They include slipping notes saying “Love your
body the way it is”into dieting books at stores like Bord ers and writing l etters to
Mattel, makers of the impossibly proportioned Barbie d oll.
According to a study in the latest issue of the Journal of Consulting and
Clinical Psychology, the risk of developing eating disorders was reduced 61%
among Body Project participants. And they continued to exhibit positive
body-image attitud es as long as three years after compl eting the program, which
consists, of four one-hour sessions. Such lasting effects may be due to girls’　realizing not only how they were being influenced but also who was benefiting
from the societal pressure to be thin. “These people who promote the perfect
