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 can we learn from the last paragraph?
选项
A、Americans, old or young, are obsessed with plastic surgery.
B、Face-lifts and liposuction are the most expensive plastic surgery.
C、Outer beauty means more to young people than inner beauty.
D、Young people often get discount when having plastic surgery.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。由题干中的the last paragraph定位到最后一段。本段说:当年长的人群仍然在搜索关于面部拉皮手术和吸脂术步骤的信息时,在艰难的经济时期,年轻的网络用户也在关注着如何改善他们的外在美,不同的是他们只能选择折扣价。由此可知,虽然重心不同,但是不管是年龄偏大的人还是年轻人,对整形手术都非常关心。因此[A]为正确答案。上了年纪的人比较关心吸脂手术和面部拉皮手术,但文章并没有说这一类手术价格最昂贵,因此排除[B];本段说青少年注重外在美,但没有说他们对内在美的看法,因此排除[C];文章没有说青少年在做整形手术时经常可以享受折扣优惠,故排除[D]。
