| 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 |
| Beauty: The Korean Way "Thank goodness you have double eyelids (双眼皮). Your parents will save a lot of money," said a family friend when I was five years old. Double eyelids, which almost every Caucasian (白种人) has, are rare among Northeast Asians. Only 25% of South Koreans (韩国) are born with double eyelids. I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money until that summer when I came back to Seoul. The moment I arrived in the city, I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics (整容诊所) everywhere, along with billboards (街上大型广告牌) featuring South Korean women who had Western characteristics— |
 |
| tall, thin, with a milky complexion (肤色), long legs, nice big eyes, and the perfectly-angled nose. I figured out that South Korean beauty meant looking as "white" or Caucasian as possible. South Korea is known to have the highest ratio (比例) of cosmetic surgeons to citizens worldwide. It is very common for girls to get eyelid surgery as high school graduation presents. What made South Koreans fall so madly in love with cosmetic surgery? Cosmetic surgery has some kind of magical appeal (吸引力) to them-the promise of beauty. Women are often convinced (深信不疑) that suffering and sacrificing (牺牲) is necessary and worthy in order to be beautiful. And this suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to better-looking children and a better lifestyle. This beauty ideal (期望) is not a trend (时尚), but a very real standard that is growing deeper within South Korean society. Appearance is starting to play a bigger role in the workplace to the extent that men are also resort to (求助于) cosmetic surgery. For instance, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and over six feet tall, gets many more job offers than his best friend, who is shorter and heavier, even though both of them graduated from the same college and had the same GPA (平均绩点) and certificates. In fact, many South Koreans believe that physical beauty (形体美) equals happiness. 1. How many South Koreans are born with double eyelids? 2. There are cosmetic surgery clinics everywhere in Seoul, aren't there? 3. What does South Korean beauty mean? 4. When do girls usually get eyelid surgery in South Korea ? 5. Are South Koreans very fond of cosmetic surgery? 6. What do many South Koreans believe ? 7. What do you think of beauty? |
