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.

社会现象类阅读解题技巧:
这类文章通过写人记事来揭示文章的主题,显示其社会意义,一般采用顺序或倒叙来叙述。题目经常是一些细节问题。考查的方面可以是原因和其中引发的思考。阅读这类文章要理清思路。
1、浏览试题,明确要求。
在阅读文章前,最好先浏览一下文章后面的题干和选项。知道了问题后再去看文章,可使思路更敏捷,而且也便于阅读时留意文中出现的与选项有关的信息。
2、通读全文,抓住主要内容。
在不影响理解的前提下,尽可能地阅读以便在尽可能短的时间内理解文章或段落的内容。阅读时,如遇到不熟悉的单词、词组或一时看不懂的句子,不要停下来苦思冥想,继续读下去,通过上下文的词语和句子可能就理解了。
3、抓住中心思想和段落大意。
通读全文时,要特别注意主题句。每篇文章或每个段落都有与文章有关的句子,尤其是科技、政论性文章的主题句一般都在文章的开头或结尾,插在中间的很少。所以,文章的第一段或开头的第一、二个句子往往包含着文章的中心思想、作者的意图或全文的概述,因此要特别注意,彻底理解。
4、有针对性地仔细阅读,找寻所需信息。
在前面的基础上,可进行有针对性地阅读了。把与问题无关的内容一扫而过,而对于和问题有关的内容认真阅读,还可以用笔在下面做出记号。再把这些信息与问题的要求结合起来,逐条分析,综合判断,找出正确答案。
5、进行合理的推理判断。
对文章有了全面的了解之后,可以按照文章要求以及上下文之间的关系,做出推理判断。在进行推理判断的时候,需要综合考虑句型、语法、句子之间的逻辑关系、文化背景等方面的因素。
6、认真复读,验证答案。
要用全文的中心思想统帅各个题目,研究其内在联系和逻辑关系,并依次审核那些还未打上的题目,确保理解无误。
