[Analysis]本句话可以分为两部分，破折号前，It’s no surprise后是that引导的主语从句，it为形式主语，从句的主干是Jennifer Senior’s cover story is arousing much chatter; 破折号后，主干是nothing gets people talking like the suggestion；That 引导同位语从句说明suggestion的具体内容

[Analysis]本句的主干是it’s interesting wonder...句中it为形式主语，真正主语为不定式to wonder ...; if引导宾语从句，作wonder的宾语，其主干为the images aren’t contributing to our own dissatisfaction,而we see every week 是省略了that 的定语从句，修饰images; In the same way后的that引导同位语从句，补充说明way ,而getting “ the Rachel” might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer省略了引导词that，作hope的宾语。
