   Cosmetic (整形 )  surgery is usually performed to correct a physical abnormality or to

enhance an otherwise normal physical feature and thus improve appearance. Cosmetic

surgery is an extremely broad field that may offer reconstructive surgery for a patient after a

damaging burn or other physical injuries yet can also be used to smooth out wrinkles or

reshape a nose. Cosmetic surgery was first used regularly after World War I, when treatment

and reconstruction of war injuries gave hope to young soldiers.

   As recently as fifty years ago, as the rich and famous began opting for elective

cosmetic surgery, the subject was whispered about and considered taboo. Celebrities（名人）

would disappear for months and then appear after secret cosmetic surgery looking younger,

prettier, and thinner. Over time, cosmetic surgery has become accepted and even

encouraged in some circles. Today there are even television reality shows about it.

         Some of the more popular forms of cosmetic surgery are liposuction(抽脂术 ), in which

excessive fat is sucked out of the body with a tube and vacuum device; laser facial

resurfacing, which smooths lines on the face around the eyes and mouth and eliminates

facial  blemishes （瑕疵); and hair replacement surgery, which fills in balding areas using a

patient's own hair. There are many more forms of cosmetic surgery， including variations of

these.

     Anyone interested in cosmetic surgery should consider the risks and remember that it

is, ultimately, surgery. Not all procedures come out exactly the way doctors and patients

foresee, and recovery is just like any other surgery, complete with pain and the possibility of

infection(感染). While cosmetic surgery is an option, patients should choose doctors wisely,

obtain several references, and keep realistic expectations.

25. Which kind of person doesn't need a cosmetic surgery?

    A. A person who suffers a damaging burn.

    B. A person who wants to reshape nose.

    C. A person who needs to smooth out wrinkles.

     D. A person who wishes to get rid of headache.

26. What is the main reason for a celebrity's opting for cosmetic surgery?

    A. The celebrity wants to disappear for months.

    B. The celebrity watches television shows about cosmetic surgery.

    C. The celebrity wants to be younger, prettier, and thinner.

     D. The celebrity is accepted by the entertainment circle.

27. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

     A. The forms of cosmetic surgery.            B. The definition of cosmetic surgery.

     C. The effects of cosmetic surgery.           D. The advantages of cosmetic surgery.

28. What is the author's attitude towards cosmetic surgery?

     Last night my husband and I were on the way to a show. We were both hungry and

wanted to grab a quick bite on our way there, so we swung through a Jack-In-the-Box-

Drive-thru Restaurant and placed our order.

    When we got up to the window the lady smiled at me, which is sometimes rare and

asked how I was doing while she was collecting our money for the food. I replied, "Fine,

and how are you'?"

      She went to get our order ready and I asked my husband to pass my "Drive-thru Smile

bag" to me. He handed it to me and watched in amazement as I gathered together a "You

make a difference" paper, including a smile card, a smile stamp and a smile button.

     She came back to the window almost before I finished putting it all together. Without

looking too closely she passed the bag and said, "Thank you. Have a good day." I said,

"Wait! This is for you." As I placed the little smile gifts in her hand a smile spread across

her face. As she looked at the items it got a little bigger but when I thanked her for her

smile there was no holding back. She gave the biggest smile and she was laughing. It was

very heartwarming.

      My husband was very impressed by it. It made him smile too. It just takes a little effort

to connect in a human way to everyone we have dealings with, even with something as small

as a Drive-thru transaction.

      Remember, we all make a difference!

     If you've ever been to a social gathering, you might feel awkward and uncomfortable.

While social gatherings can be very enjoyable, especially when you are surrounded by

people whose company you enjoy, there are social events that you sometimes find yourself

wishing you were someplace else. Such occasions can sometimes be the cause of much

anxiety and self-consciousness. You may even feel like everyone else is having a good time

except for you. Yet the truth is that everyone has felt shy and awkward on occasion. One of

the best ways to overcome self-consciousness or get past your feelings of shyness at social

gatherings is to focus on the people around you. If you can remember that other people

might also be feeling awkward or shy, you might find the thought of speaking to them less

overwhelming.

      The next time there is a social event you feel nervous about attending, you may want to

try this exercise: Spend some time with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. When you feel

ready, create your own zone of comfort by visualizing yourself surrounded in a warm white

light that is protective yet accepting of others. Imagine people at the event being drawn to

you because of the open and warm feelings that you are showing. When you arrive at the

event, take a moment to spread this same light of loving acceptance to everyone around you.

Smile and greet people warmly. Try going up to someone who is standing alone and

introduce yourself. When you show acceptance and openness, people can't help but respond

to you in kind.

     Focusing on how we can make other people at a social gathering feel at ease can help

us forget about our own insecurities. The next time you attend a social gathering, invite

people to join you in your zone of comfort that you have so lovingly and intentionally

created. Let yourself enjoy being encircled in the warmth of their friendships.
