Internet data shows that younger adults have become the main audience crazy about changing their appearance. Once the world of the female in her fifties, plastic surgery(整形手术) has become the focus of the younger Internet users.
The recent death of Stephanie Kuleba, an 18-year-old high school cheerleader who died as a result of plastic surgery, brought our attention to the fashion of becoming a more “ideal” body among 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. plastic surgery. org). Over 25% of the visitors, which is up from 19.6% two years ago, fell within the 18 to 24 years old.
Plastic surgery has become an American obsession (痴迷). Checking other countries, such as the UK and Australia, the 18 to 24-year-old’s being interested in plastic surgery is an obvious US phenomenon.

While television on surgery may be driving the interest of a younger audience, one factor appears to be a key in preventing such teens from changing their bodies: the failing U.S. economy. There has been a decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. While older age continue to search for information on procedures such as liposuction(抽脂), it’s younger Internet users who in tough econ
omic times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, though at a discount price.

I still remember the first day of fourth grade. Later that day, my teacher read us a chapter from The Witches by Roald Dahl. Instantly, I was impressed by Roald Dahl’s clever and amusing style of writing, as well as the complex details of his story. It was as if the writing had flown off the paper and been illustrated (插画) into a picture book. To this day, I consider Roald Dahl my hero because of his exceptional play of words that has led me to understand the power of writing.
Through writing, Roald Dahl was able to show readers the wonderful but mysterious path of life. He shared with others the strong feelings of great success, joy, tragedy and violent anger. Reading his books is often like riding emotional roller coasters, where one moment, you are alongside the characters, laughing at their foolishness, but the next moment crying for their mistakes.
I remember when I first read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a classic novel about a penniless family whose son, Charlie, found a golden ticket that changed their lives. The story was centered on how anyone has the chance for success, but unfortunately also the chances of letting their ego(自我) override their moral values (道德价值).Through Roald Dahl’s carefully planned plot, Charlie showed me the childish joys of life are often overlooked， when they are actually the foundations for success. He showed me the bitter realities of life, where sometimes, others will move on without you. But mostly, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opened my eyes to the world of reading -- where there would always be a character by your side, guiding you through your own life journey.
Although I have never met Roald Dahl personally, I was able to understand and gain insight (洞察) into his personality through the characters he developed in his novels. Roald Dahl used his understandings to skillfully strengthen the characters’ thoughts and actions. Roald Dahl is my hero. He is able to put lifelong lessons and his brilliant imagination into a simple novel that can be understood by anybody.
Roald Dahl’ s writing is admirable not only because of his attractive and interesting stories, themes and characters, but also because of the great efforts he put into developing, his unique and individual style of writing.
1.What can we learn about Roald Dahl’ s writing?
A. It’ s full of illustrations.
B. It’ s humorous and vivid.
C. It’ s difficult to understand:
D. It’ s intended for adult readers.
2.What can we infer about Roald Dahl from Paragraph 2?
A. He enjoyed riding roller coasters.
B. He often created stupid characters.
C. He was easily affected by others’ feelings.
D. He could arouse strong emotions in readers.
3.What do we know about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
A. It deeply influences the author.
B. It talks about Charlie S weaknesses.
C. It s based on Roald Dahl s experiences.
D. It’ s Roald Dahl’ s most successful novel.
4.What does the author say about the characters Roald Dahl created?

B. They have simple thoughts.
C. They reflect Roald Dahl’ s inner world.
D. They are developed from Roald Dahl’s friends.

Things to Start Doing for Yourself
Here is a positive to-do list for the upcoming year：
Start spending time with right people. There are the people you like? who love and appre-ciate you, and who encourage you to improve. They not only accept who you are now? but also accept who you want to be. 1.
Start facing your problems head-on. It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them. 2. With your problems, take baby steps in the right direction, inch by inch. These inches count, which add up to yards and miles in the long run.
3. Be honest about what’s right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest a- bout what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest about every aspect of your life because you are the person you can forever count on.
Start valuing the lessons your mistakes teach you. 4. Significant achievements are al-most always realized at the end of a long road of failures. One of the “mistakes” you fear might just be the link to your greatest achievement.
Start forgiving yourself and others. We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others. 5. It means you’re letting go of the hatred (仇恨) and pain, and choosing to learn from the pain and move on with your life.
Start cheering for other people’s victories. Notice what you like about others and tell them. Be happy for those who are making progress. Cheer for their victories. Be thankful for their blessings (赐福) openly.
A. Forgiveness is the medicine.
B. Mistakes are the stepping stones of progress.
C. They are the ones who make you feel more alive.
D. Start being honest with yourself about everything.
E. Problems will not disappear unless you take action.
