Over the last decade, demand for the most common cosmetic surgery procedures, like breast enlargements and nose jobs, has increased by mom than 400 per cent. According to Dr Dai Davies, of the Plastic Surgery Partnership in Hammersmith, the majority of cosmetic surgery fantastic lengths to improve their appearance fly a desire to look normal. "What we all crave is to look normal, and normal is what is prescribed by advertising media and other external pressures. They give us a perception of what is physically acceptable and we feel we must look like that."
In America, the debate is no longer about whether surgery is normal; rather, it canters on what age people should be before going under the knife. New York surgeon Dr Gerard Imber recommends "maintenance" work for people in their thirties. "The idea of waiting until one needs a heroic transformation is silly," he says. "By then, you’ve wasted 20 great years of your life and allowed things to get out of hand." Dr Imber draws the line at operating on people who are under 18, however. "It seems that someone we don’t consider old enough to order a drink shouldn’t be considering plastic surgery."
In the UK cosmetic surgery has long been seen as the exclusive domain of the very rich and famous. But the proportionate cost of treatment has fallen substantially, bringing all but the most advanced laser technology within the reach of most people. Dr Davies, Who claims to "cater for the average person", agrees. He says, "I treat a few of the rich and famous and an awful lot of secretaries. Of course, £3,000 for an operation is a lot of money. But it is also an investment for life which costs about half the price of a good family holiday."
Dr Davies suspects that the increasing sophistication of the fat injecting and removal techniques that allow patients to go treated with a local anesthetic in an afternoon has also helped promote the popularity of cosmetic surgery. Yet, as one woman who recently paid £2,500 for liposuction (吸脂) to remove cellulite (脂肪团) from her thighs admitted, the slope to becoming a cosmetic surgery veteran is a deceptively gentle one." I had my legs done because they’d been bugging me for years. But going into the clinic was so low key (低调的,不声张的) and effective it whetted my appetite. Now I don’t think there’s any operation that I would rule out having in could afford it." [br] The phrase "draws the line at"(para.2) most probably means______.
选项
A、starts
B、suggests
C、enjoys
D、refuses
答案
D
解析
理解题。这题要求从上下文猜测词义。根据第二段,Dr.Derard Imber认为,30几岁的人就应该接受面容的“维护工作”,如果要等着做—次性大手术,这不仅会浪费20年好时光,而且手术已无法进行。但是, Dr.Derard Imber拒绝给18岁以下的人做整容手术,一个还不到饮用酒精饮料年龄的人不应考虑整容手术。因此,D为正确答案。
