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.
While young people are surfing on the Internet, they are very interested in______.
选项
A、how to be physically and mentally healthy
B、how to make themselves look young
C、how to prevent and cure diseases
D、how to have more attractive appearance
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的surfing on the Internet定位到第三段第四句。本句说:青少年网络用户蜂拥而至与外貌有关的网站,网站的主要内容都围绕在塑身、减肥和皮肤护理等方面。当然,整容类的网站也绝对少不了。由此可知,他们最关心的是怎么让自己的外表看上去更光彩照人。因此[D]“如何变得更加吸引人”为正确答案。文章没有涉及到精神健康,所以排除[A];他们本身年龄就很小,只有18-24岁,所以保持年轻不是他们所担心的问题,故排除[B];而[C]“如何预防和治疗疾病”是年长者所关心的,故排除。
