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.
Why does the author mention the death of the 18-year-old cheerleader?
选项
A、To show cheerleaders pay more attention to their appearance.
B、To warn people that plastic surgery is not as safe as it is said to be.
C、To prove the fact that people will pursue beauty at any cost.
D、To draw attention to the issue of young people having plastic surgery.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。由题干中的the death of the 18一year-old cheerleader定位到第二段第一句可知,这一悲剧引起了人们对青少年追求更加“理想的”身材这一问题的关注。所以,提到这位拉拉队队长的死亡,是为了[D]“引起人们对青少年接受整形手术这一问题的关注”。这个例子的重点不在拉拉队长这一身份上,所以排除[A];文章其他地方没有再涉及整形手术是否有危险,所以排除[B]“为了警告人们整形手术不像它宣传的那么安全”;文章也没有提到整形会付出什么代价,故排除[C]。
