黑。
A
Recently I spoe to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what ind of job prospects they thought they had.
Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What ind of help is that?” I ased, epecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.
“Surgery (外科手术) ”，one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the nife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They brea your legs, put in special etending screws, and slowly epand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5 Cm taller!”
At that point, I was shoced. I am short, I can’t deny that, but I don’t thin I would put myself through months of agony (痛苦）just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thic soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!
It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”，and that is an ideal that just does not eist in reality.
No one is born perfect, yet magaines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, sills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.
21. We can now from the passage that the author wors as . A.a model B. a teacher C. a doctor D. a reporter 22. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to . A.marry a better man/woman B. attract more admirers C.get an advantage over others in job-hunt D. become a model 23.According to the passage, the author believes that .
