Historians can trace the foundations of plastic surgery as far back as about 2,600 years ago to ancient India where facial surgery were carried out. The techniques were recorded in the early Hindu texts and were used primarily on soldiers injured during conflict.
The birth of cosmetic reconstructive surgery truly occurred many hundreds of years later, and over the past ten years plastic surgery has become very popular with more and more people refusing to grow old gracefully. It is however not limited to young women considering the fact eating disorders are on the rise among young men; men and women alike are interested in cosmetic surgery and it even gains popularity in
mainstream
culture. It seems that no longer are people judged on their abilities alone but on their appearance, and more and more of people are choosing to go under the knife in an effort to shape themselves into an objective and arbitrary ideal beauty.
The "image" of beauty portrayed by the media is usually related to the objectives, young, very slim, and most often white. Having a body weight of 15% below normal for one’s height, age and weight is considered ideal. In other words people should be anorexic to meet the media’ s image of beauty. The message is that only their imposed image of beauty is acceptable, and those who are larger, shorter, thicker, or browner are not. This ideal image and weight, however, is unattainable for 99% of women. Ironically, most images of models appearing on magazines have been airbrushed to perfection to attain that "perfect" image of beauty.
Sadly, for many people, the quest for beauty has turned into an all-out obsession. Unsurprisingly, the newfound obsession is a convenient marketing tool because 99% of the female population is not satisfied with their appearance and therefore will be more likely to buy slimming, cosmetics or turn to plastic surgery. The dieting industry makes an incredible $33 billion a year. The industry uses media to keep people thinking that they should maintain the slender or even skinny shape. This image of beauty is simply unattainable and the desire for it will never be met so the demand for the industry will never decrease. And the very industries that profit from fueling inadequacy, a feeling of not being good enough, will continue to prosper. [br] What is the ideal image of beauty in the perspective of the mass media according to the passage?
选项
A、Tall, strong and white.
B、Elegant, healthy and white.
C、Short, thick and brown.
D、Young, slim and white.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词“ideal image”,定位于原文第三段第一句,“Theimage of beauty portrayed by the media is usually related to the adjectives,young,veryslim,and most often white.”明确指出,大众媒体描绘的美女形象是,年轻、很苗条、白净。所以,正确答案是D。选项B为干扰项,优雅与健康常常是生活中大家的看法.但并没有在文中提及。
