以下是內容，我有對照過了!應該不會再有錯誤。

When America's Next Top Model winner Naima Mora's
friends told her she should try out for the
top-rating reality TV show,she'd say,"Those girls
are gorgeous.But I don't really think it's right
for me."The Detroit-bron dancer suffered from low
selfesteem and an unhealthy lifestyle.In an
exclusive interview with New Zealand Woman's Weekly,
Naima reveals,"I was a party animal.I hated myself
and treated myself so badly.I would drink until I
fainted or had blackouts.I was also dating a lot of
guys who weren't helping me."

When Naima eventually caved in to the pressure and
applied for Top Model,she was surprised to make the
cut-and even more so when she became one of the final
12 contestants.But over the weeks her confidence
grew until she finally saw what everyone had been
telling her for years:She is attractive young woman.

The penny dropped after a photo shoot that involved
her being lowered in a coffin into a freshly dug
grave to portray the deadly sin of envy.Naima
recalls,"When I saw the picture,I felt beautiful.
The experience of finding myself and my value as
a beautiful human being changed my life."Lake of
confidence is no longer an issue for the 21-year-old.
"I now believe in myself.I know I won because of who
I am.I'm kind,creative,compassionate,eager and
strong-willed.And I don't mean to sound arrogant but
I am becoming the world's favourite Top Model.It
feels absolutely amazing to have such a global impact
on my generation."

This self-belief is helping her in the real world
of modelling ,where Naima's career is blossoming.
As well as contracts with Ford Models and Cover Girl
cosmetics, she is also taking lessons for TV guest
appearances and an upcoming movie role.And she has
plans to become an author."Sometime soon I'll
release a book about my experiences as a Top Model-
it's been one crazy ride."

One crazy moment that sticks in Naima's mind is
when fellow Top Model contestant Michelle contracted
impetigo,which made her face break out in nasty
sores and caused some of the other models to believe
she had a flesh-eating virus.Naima remembers,"I
thought the other girls were letting things get way
out of hand.Had she had anything serious,I'm sure we
all would have caught it very soon because
we lived,ate and slept together."

Another memorable event was when Tyra Banks,the
show's supermodel host,exploded at a contestant
because she laughed after being eliminated."Tyra was
disappointed Tiffany didn't feel she deserved more.
Tyra is very much how I imagined her-she's kind,
determined,headstrong and focused."

Another"sweetie"Naima befriended was judge
Janice Dickinson."I call her a lot for emotional
support and modelling advice.She always makes me
laugh and cheers me up."Naima also counts fellow
contestants Kahlen and Brittany among her new best
friends,as well as former winner Eva Pigford.

But,for Naima,even better than the newfound
friendships is the travel.The show's sojourn in South
Africa was definitely her favourite trip."The most
amazing part was opening the door to Nelson Mandela's
former prison cell.Exploring a new country is always
exciting.Hopefully I'll make it to New Zealand soon-
Whale Rider is my favourite movie and from what I've
seen,it's a beautiful place to lose yourself in."

Naima's advice for any aspiring Kiwi models:"Follow
your dream and have a lot of integrity.Modelling is a
lot harder than it looks.There's a lot of pressure
and you can't take things personally.I've been told to
lose weight a few times amd I try to work out more.But
I know who I am-and that ain't a size zero!"
