Piercings（穿洞）have moved up on the trend list in recent Tattoos（纹身）and body years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink. Like all other subjects, we’ll surely be faced with such situation. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let’s sit down and hear what they say.
Kerstin Otto from Washington:The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn’t be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button.Tiara from Indiana:I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them. I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong. There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.Lee from Illinois:
Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos
and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.Nagib from Washington:I wanted an earring. My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing. I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn’t let me. Now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn’t have looked good with it.Jackson from Ohio:I don’t think it’s wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything —I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary. When I see naked chicks on guys, I think. “You have no respect for women.”Brittney from New York:You don’t want to do stuff to your body. You don t need to do that because you were made perfect. You don’t need to add piercings. If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay. If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it. But otherwise, don’t mess with what you got. Maybe you should try something more substantial（充实的）to find beauty in yourself.

Erin from Indiana:
I think body piercing is cool. In most situations, you don’t really have to worry about it getting torn out. I go to Noblesville High School. I am a sophomore （that is the l0th grade）. Body piercing can be cool, only if it is not taken to too much of an extent. I would not want to get my nose pierced, just because I think I’ll look bad. But that is my personal opinion. I guess that type of thing is a cultural difference.
Tiara from Indiana:

Subotai from California:
I’m not prohibitive（禁止）of self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow’s.
Nagib from Washington:
I wanted an earring. My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing. I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn’t let me. Now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn’t have looked good with it.

查看习题详情和答案>>to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house.
It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant(游荡的) horse trainer
who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training
horses. As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he
was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. "
"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday. He
wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the
location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. "
"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to the teacher. Two
days later he received his paper back. On the front was a large red F with a note that read, 'See me after
class.' "
"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, 'Why did I receive an F?'"
"The teacher said, 'This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You
come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.
You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay
large stud(马群)fees. There's no way you could ever do it.' Then the teacher added, 'If you rewrite this
paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.' "
"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do.
His father said, 'Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very
important decision for you.' "
"Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.
He stated, 'You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream.'"
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "I tell you this story because you are sitting in
my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper
framed over the fireplace." He added, "The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same
schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he
said, 'Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream
stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids' dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not
to give up on yours.'"
Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
B. An unforgettable experience
C. Fly with your belief
D. Struggling of life
B. The boy didn't have enough ability to do that.
C. The dream was too far away from him.
D. All of the above
B. The teacher failed to help many kids to achieve their goals.
C. The teacher always refused to praise kids.
D. The teacher treated the kids in an unfair way..
B. He wanted to tell others his house was a best place to put on the events to raise funds.
C. He hoped people could understand what was important to help young people to achieve their goals.
D. He thought his story was good enough to attract others.
B. intelligent but rebellious
C. farsighted and determined
D. rich and knowledgeable
