Plastic, it seems, is no longer fantastic. Even Hollywood, that factory of artifice, is demanding a return to reality when it comes to women’s bodies.
Disney Studio’ s recent casting call for female extras for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film included a surprise announcement; "Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants. " Surgically enhanced breasts might still be considered sexy or essential by airhead starlets and models, but the new buzzword in America is "authenticity". That’ s why, for women in the public eye, having fake breasts is looking increasingly less like a career move and more like career suicide. Another indication that fake breasts are going bust is the fact that television shows such as Extreme Makeover and The Swan (TV which promised to nip and tuck ordinary women into goddesses) have been cancelled, while statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that the number of breast enlargements in America fell from 365,000 to 312,000 last year.
In many surveys, research has shown that the larger the breasts, the more stupid a woman is considered to be. Other women, meanwhile, consider women with large breasts as a threat—so having a surgical enhancement is a lose-lose situation. Chantelle Houghton (from Big Brother remember her?) almost immediately regretted getting implants to boost her chest and admits that they were "taking over her life" , and she had to resort to physiotherapy to deal with the back pain they caused. Even Sharon Osborne, voted the queen of nip and tuck, said recently: "I wish I’d never had my breasts done. It’s like having a waterbed on your chest. I hate them. I want to have the bags taken out—then I’ll put them on eBay. "
The more stories we hear like this the better, because then perhaps young women will realize that large breasts aren’ t the assets they thinkthey are—or Hollywood has made them out to be.

答案
According to the article, artificial beauty created through plastic surgeries is losing ground to natural authenticity in Hollywood, a film industry used to prefer the image of charming and sexy ladies with large breasts, even though they were fake ones. That’ s a good news to hear because less young women will be misled to make unnecessary changes to their own bodies. Females in the movie or on TV often have slender figures, large breasts, white teeth and charming smiles. Compared with them, many ordinary young women become unsatisfied with their own appearance, thus hoping to be more beautiful by receiving plastic surgeries. However, there are lots of risks by receiving plastic surgeries. Some may even suffer from adverse impacts brought by botched procedures. As the old saying goes, everyone longs for beauty. We all desire to look good and leave a great impression on others. But too much emphasis on external appearance will do no good to a person’ s future development. One may even lost himself in the process of blindly pursuing the beauty standard set by others.
