問題詳情：
Beauty is only skin deep. This expression means that beauty is only a surface quality. And some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin. But people, especially women, will risk a lot for beauty.
In the United States, many people use sunlight or non-natural light to darken their skin. But in the African country of Senegal（塞內加爾）, lots of women take health risks trying to do the opposite.
The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products on a usual basis. These products can have chemicals which can burn the eyes and skin and possibly cause cancers.
A beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening products. The shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results but bring more damage. She says that some women want to lighten their skin every day. But for her, she likes to be a shade of brown.
Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reasons women all over the world make changes to their appearance. They want to look beautiful, to find a husband, to stand out in a crowd or to simply look great for a special event.
This thinking troubles Senegalese filmmaker Khardiata Pouye Sall. So she made This Color That Bothers Me, a film about the subject of skin lightening. “I used the most shocking images so that women would see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman would tell herself that dark skin is not beautiful.” Ms. Sall says the government needs to better control the marketing and sale of skin lighteners. But she adds education is the best way to persuade people against using them. 13. The underlined part “the opposite” in Para. 2 refers to the fact that _________. A. some women pay more attention to skin cancers B. some women use products to lighten their skin C. some women want to get lasting beauty D. some women think the black skin beautiful 14. Which of the following does Adama Diagne probably agree with? A. Chemicals should not be used in beauty products. B. Beauty products can really improve women’s skin quality. C. No effort could be too much for women to become beautiful. D. The stronger the products are, the more damage they do. 15. Ms. Sall made the film This Color That Bothers Me to _________. A. show the true meaning of beauty B. explain how beauty products damage the skin C. tell people how to use beauty products properly D. educate people on the dangers of beauty products
