After the face lift, the forehead tightening and the nose job, something might still show an old person’s age: his voice

For patients who think their trembly, hoarse words don’t match their newly film face and figure, there’s a procedure that claims to make them sound younger too: the voice lift..

There are two general kinds of voice lifts. In some cases, implants（植物）are inserted（插入）through an incision（切口）in the neck to bring the vocal cords（声带）closer together. Doctors also inject fat or other substances（物质）to make the cords bigger so that the voice sounds younger

“If I spoke a great deal, or I was shouting on a particular day, at the end of the day I would feel very tired,” said Robert Anzidei, 75, a retired man who had the voice lift several years ago. “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is a great improvement.”

The voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers and telephone operators who need to have strong voices and want to take years off the sound of their voices

A new Beijing student code does not encourage you to risk your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others dangerous situations.Gone are the old calls，which had been in place since 1987，for students to“fight criminals courageously”and “sacrifice themselves to save others”．

Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A wellknown example was Lai Ning，who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers’“heroic acts” started a nationwide debate about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng，a parent in Beijing，said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves，before learning from heroes.

But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the words‘fight criminals courageously’do not mean we deny the spirit of‘fearlessness’and ‘readiness’to help others.”said Li Jing，an official in Beijing.“But，we should be more rational about the spirit of sacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed.“Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward，” he said.“but you need make sure you are able to offer help.For example，it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning，but didn’t know how to swim.In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

C．Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.
