Passage Two
You may have heard some of the fashion industry horror stories: models eating tissues or cotton balls to hold off hunger, and models collapsing from hunger-induced heart attacks just seconds after they step off the runway.
Excessively skinny models have been a point of controversy for decades, and two researchers say a model&39;s body mass should be a workspace health and safety issue. In an editorial released Monday in the American Journal of Public Health, Katherine Record and Bryn Austin made their case for government regulation of the fashion industry.
The average international runway model has a body mass index (BMI) under 16-low enough to indicate starvation by the World Health Organization&39;s standard. And Record and Austin are worried not just about the models themselves, but about the vast number of girls and women their images influence.
"Especially girls and tens", says Record. "Seventy percent of girls aged 10 to 18 report that they define perfect body image based on what they see in magazines." That&39;s especially worrying, she says, given that anorexia(厌食症)results in more deaths than does any other mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
It&39;s commonly known that certain diseases are linked with occupations like lung disease in coal miners. Professional fashion models are particularly vulnerable to eating disorders resulting from occupational demands to maintain extreme thinness.
Record&39;s suggestion is to prohibit agents from hiring models with a BMI below 18.
In April, France passed a law setting lower limits for a model&39;s weight. Agents and fashion houses who hire models with BMI under 18 could pay $82,000 in fines and spend up to 6 months in jail. Regulating the fashion industry in the United States won&39;t be easy, Record says. But with the new rules in France, U.S. support could make a difference. "A designer can&39;t survive without participating in Paris Fashion Week", she says, adding, "Our argument is that the same would be true of New York Fashion Week."
What do Record and Austin say about fashion models&39; body mass?

A. It has caused needless controversy.
B. It is focus of the modeling business.
C. It is but a matter of personal taste.
D. It affects models' health and safety.

【说明】
鉴于配置管理在信息系统集成和IT运维项目中的重要作用,某企业计划在企业层面统一建立配置库,以规范公司的配置管理,并责成公司的商务经理杨工兼任公司的配置经理,全面组织和协调公司的配置管理事项。杨工接到任务后,按照公司目前系统集成和运维的架构,将配置库分为系统集成项目配置库和运维项目配置库,不过这种配置库管理只是从名称方面进行了区分,实际上只有一个配置库。由于公司大部分运维项目来自于公司的系统集成部,所以底层数据是共享的,没有分割开来,运维人员和系统集成人员经常针对同一个配置项进行修改。
在配置库运行4个月之后,公司组织了一次对配置库的审计,发现配置库存在大量的问题,杨工面对这样的局面,对自己在配置管理中的角色也感到非常迷茫。他收集了目前公司配置库管理方面存在的问题,这些问题比较突出地体系在以下几个方面:
(1)有的项目组将配置项细化到了软件产品的模块,而有的项目组以项目简单为由,根本没有进行配置管理,并且各项目组内部对配置管理的需求也不统一,随时间变化波动较大。
(2)很多开发人员和运维人员不知道在不同的库里应该放置什么内容,而且各种配置项的配置格式也不同意,导致配置库难以达到预期的效果。
(3)配置库增删比较混乱,很多配置项还找不到最后的版本,而且很多配置内容也放置混乱,各种哭的分隔管理起不到预期的效果。
【问题1】(6分)
请结合以上案例,简要说明配置管理的目标和主要活动。
