American Facial Plastic Surgery Is Young to Turn
Internet data shows that younger adults have become the primary audience obsessed with television programs about altering people’s appearance. Once the domain of the female in her fifties, plastic surgery has become the obsession of the younger Internet users.
The recent tragic death of Stephanie Kuleba, an 18-year-old high school cheer leader who died as a result of a plastic surgery, brought our attention to the pursuit of a more " ideal" body amongst teenagers. In fact,search data confirms this phenomenon. One of the most popular sites visited from the search term "plastic surgery" is the official site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (www. plasticsurgery. org). Over 25% of visitors to the site fell within the 18 to-24-year-old—that’s up from 19.6% two years ago.
Plastic surgery has become an American obsession. Checking other markets, such as the U.K. and Australia,the 18-to-24-year-old fascination with plastic surgery is a definitely U. S. phenomenon. Looking at other health related sites visited by 18-to-24-year- olds, reveals just how obsessed this age group is with appearance. Unlike the older groups who visit sites related to diseases and keeping healthy,younger Internet users flock to sites that dwell on personal appearance, such as those focused on body-building, weight loss and skin-care. And definitely plastic surgery.
While surgery-themed television may be driving the interest of a younger audience,one factor appears to be key in moderating teens from altering their bodies: the failing U. S. economy. If we track the trend in searches on topics such as "plastic surgery", there has been a sharp decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. It may very well be related to the noticeable income group of visitors—U. S. households that earn less than $ 30,000 per year. In fact, if we look at the search patterns around popular surgeries, over the last year the term "cost" appear most commonly.
While older age groups continue to search for information on procedures such as face-lifts or liposuction, it’s the younger Internet users who in tough economic times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, though at a discount price.
What may affect young people’s decision on whether to have plastic surgery?
选项
A、The safety of the operation.
B、The total expense of the surgery.
C、The need for having the operation.
D、The results of the surgery.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的whether to have plastic surgery定位到第四段第四句。该句说,在整容流行网站的搜索模式中,“花费”是去年出现最多的一个词,而且本段第一至三句也表达同样的意思,指出美国经济萧条导致整容手术数量下降,这是因为人们的收入减少了。所以[B]“手术所需的开销”是青少年决定是否进行整容手术的决定性因素之一,为正确答案。文章没有提到青少年对手术的安全性、效果和必要性的关注,所以排除[A]、[C]和[D]。
