Freezing to Death for Beauty

People in Beijing wear a lot of clothing during winter to fend off the cold. In the United States, however, people wear 51 , partly because the car is the primary mode of transportation. Cars take 52 straight to their workplaces, which are heated well. The American diet is full of calories, so their 53 can afford to bum heat more quickly.

Some, however, really just go for the look 56 the risk of health. These girls have nothing to prevent their legs 57 the wind, and no socks to protect their feet. A mini skirt and a pair of stilettos are all that they wear.

I have always 60 , whenever I pass these girls, how they manage to refrain from shivering and just smile like spring had arrived.

And then there are the guys. The girls can be said to 61 health for beauty. But why do guys 62 so little? It is not like, once they shed some layers, they suddenly become better-looking. They are not exactly being fashionable when they 63 wear sporty shorts and shower slippers in the midst of winter. It's not cute.

Of course, people have the freedom to look whatever 64 they want. I am just surprised that, given the vast difference between winter and summer temperatures in Connecticut, they can still 65 like they are partying on the beach in the middle of February.
