Singer's death triggers plastic surgery safety concerns

In 2005, "Super Girl", a TV talent show in China, turned college student Li Yuchun into a nationwide celebrity, but few could remember another contestant Wang Bei until recently, when she died during plastic surgery.

Health authorities confirmed that Wang, 24, died on Nov. 15 due to complications from anesthetic during plastic surgery in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province.

Postings about Wang's death drew extensive attention from the public, triggering safety concerns about the rising plastic surgery business.

Late 2005 Super Girl contestant Wang Bei

"The investigation results should be made public without delay," says the Ministry of Health on Saturday, calling on local health authorities to step up supervision over the medical cosmetology industry.

"She's so pretty, why bother having surgery?" asked a netizen named "short life" at the website https://www.wendangku.net/doc/1816092078.html,.

Most netizens expressed their sympathies online, but questioned her decision in the first place.

The demand for plastic surgery is surging in China, as many young people believe cosmetic surgery will earn them a better position in pursuing a job or a romantic relationship（1）.

In an extreme case, a 30-year-old woman had received over 30 plastic surgery treatments in the past ten years, according to a doctor in a plastic surgery hospital in Wuhan, who refused reveal his name.

"Beauty gives me confidence," said 27-year-old Tang Yun, who underwent an operation to shave her jawbones a year ago in east China's Jiangsu Province. "If makeup helps girls be pretty, why not try plastic surgery?"

Ms. Shen, who has undergone more than six cosmetic operations over the past five years, including eyelid tucks, liposuction and a nose job, said it was a kind of addiction. "I was stimulated by a great feeling the first time, I've never been more confident," said Shen.

Although her friends thought her pretty enough, she still could not help going for more treatments until doctors declined to treat her. "They told me to turn to psychologists instead of surgery doctors," she said. "I think they were right."

BOOMING PLASTIC SURGERY BUSINESS

A face with eyelid tucks, a Roman nose and a pointed jaw, is usually considered beautiful by young Chinese, and some of those who are not born with these features will turn to plastic surgeries.

"We have, on average, 30 to 50 patients undergoing plastic surgery every day, and most of them for eyelid and nose jobs," said Li Binbin, a doctor at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Plastic Surgery Hospital in Beijing's Shijingshan District.

According to Li, an eyelid and nose job costs 2,000 yuan (300 U.S. dollars) to 3,000 yuan per operation while jawbone-grinding surgery, which is much more complicated and comes with greater risks, could cost up to 50,000 yuan.

The huge profit has prompted a number of hospitals and beauty salons to provide plastic surgery services, although some are not qualified（2）. "At least 2,000 hospitals and beauty salons offer cosmetic surgery, and even a hair salon can do eyelid tucks for 300 yuan," said Li.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS

Rumors said Wang Bei received six plastic surgery operations altogether, which psychologists believed to be the result of a "serious mental disturbance".

"Being anxious, people nowadays are trying to seek a quicker way to succeed, and they believe plastic surgery is one of the most convenient ways" said Dr. Xu Kaiwen with the psychological counseling center at Peking University.

"It's actually self-denial. Most of them do not recognize themselves and need psychological help," Xu said.

"They chose to have surgery, hoping to ease their anxiety. But what a surgery could change is just the appearance, rather than the attitude towards life, work and friends." "They need more psychological therapy than plastic surgery," he said.

Questions:

1.What is plastic surgery?

2.What do you think of plastic surgery?

Should cosmetic surgery be banned?

When you hear of cosmetic surgery, what do you think of? A Hollywood star trying to delay the effects of aging? People who want to change the size of their stomachs, breasts, or other body parts because they see it done so easily on TV?

“Cosmetic surgery” (also known as “plastic surgery”) is surgery that is unnecessary from a medical perspective, but is carried out to improve appearance.

Cosmetic surgery is an ancient practice. In the 8th century BC, the Indian surgeon Sushruta Samhita described what is known today as rhinoplasty (surgery to the nose) and otoplasty (to the ear). Body alteration more generally has been carried out by all peoples, from tribal tattoos to the neck-extending Kayans of Thailand.

（Kayans of Thailand）

But modern medicine has made the possibilities of cosmetic surgery far more extensive. Anaesthesia has made procedures less unpleasant and less dangerous. In the aftermath of each of the two World Wars, cosmetic surgery leapt forwards as the demand for reconstructive surgery created skills and techniques that could be as easily applied to (perceived) improvements to image as to medical necessity（1）. Consequently, cosmetic surgery has become increasingly popular.

In 1948, fewer than 300 board-certified plastic surgeons were in practice in the USA; today the number is more than 4,000. In 2004 12 million cosmetic operations were conducted in the USA alone. Where America has led, much of the world has followed. Television shows and newspaper supplements are now devoted to cosmetic surgery and makeover programmes advocate it.

Today more and more parts of the body can be “improved.” Once the possibilities for surgery were relatively restricted, now almost anything can be the subject of cosmetic surgery（2）.To name but a few, common operations include abdominoplasty(a “tummy tuck” or reshaping/firming of the abdomen), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), buttock implants/reductions, chemical “peels” (removal of acne scars and sagging skin), chin and cheek augmentation, lipectomy (or liposuction – removal of fat from the body), and rhytidectomy(a“face lift”) Among the most popular procedur es are the otoplasty and rhinoplasty mentioned earlier, and finally and most commonly, surgery for the breasts: both mammaplasty ("breast enlargement/reduction") and mastoplexy (“breast lift”) –collectively known as “boob jobs.”

This article considers only cosmetic surgery carried out purely to improve appearance, and does not address plastic surgery for medical reasons, for example post-disfigurement reconstruction or remedial surgery.

（2）过去整容术的可能性相对受到限制，而现在几乎任何部位都可以接受整容。Questions:

Topic Seventeen: Anti-smoking 1. Why do some young people pick up smoking? Personally, I think there are three reasons for young people picking up smoking. First, they want to follow the trend, to be in the crowd. Most of the young people don’t know what t hey should do. They just do what their peers do. Second, some youths want to show their identity, to attract attention of their peers and their parents, to show that they are not little children any more. They are already in their adulthood. They want to tell their parents they want to do things adults do. Third, for some young people, smoking is considered as a way to relax and get rid of bad feelings from work or family. They enjoy the process of smoking. Smoking helps them forget unhappy incidents. 2. How harmful is smoking to smokers? Smoking may result in a lot of serious consequences. First, scientists have found that there exist a lot of dangerous chemical substances in cigarettes, which are contributing factors to various fatal diseases such as lung cancer and heart attacks. Second, smoking also has a negative influence on the health of people working with or staying near smokers. There are many smokers' family members who are diagnosed with various respiratory diseases every year. Third, smoking often results in addictive behaviors on the part of smokers. Smokers tend to get chronically addicted to cigarettes and once they have developed this bad habit, it would be extremely hard for them to shake off the shackles of cigarettes. 3. Is smoking also harmful to nonsmokers? In what way? Yes, Cigarettes do not just harm the people who smoke. They also harm the people who are near cigarettes and breathe the smoke. Even if you don’t smoke but are exposed to second-hand smoke on a regular basis, your body will absorb nicotine and other harmful substances just as smokers’ bodies do. In addition, the longer you are around second-hand smoke, the greater the level of harmful substances in your body. As a result, you might have an increased risk of developing smoking-related disorders, including:Lung cancer,Heart disease and so on. 4. Do you think it is right to allow smokers to smoke on air-conditioned or enclosed area? Why or why not? In my opinion,smoking should be prohibited in all public places like elevators and air-conditioned offices,restaurants and cafeterias. .Nonsmokers have the right to request smokers not to harm the interests and health of nonsmokers with their habit.If a smoker is not sensitive enough to other people’s needs,then there’s no other way than asking him or her to stop smoking.However,in making the request,I would try to be polite and make the smoker understand that I,as a nonsmoker,can’t stand second-hand smoke. 5. In what places has smoking already been banned? Are you in favor of this policy or not? Why? Nowadays in China, smoking is banned in many public places, such as cinemas, threators , supermarkets, hospitals, meeting rooms and so on. As far as I am concerned, I am strongly in favor of this policy. First of all, smoking is bad for health. And in public places it often leads to second-hand smoking, which is bad for the smoker as well as people around. Second, if you are talking with a person while you are smoking, what will happen? He or she will consider the necessity of whether to go on talking or not, because your behavior shows that you don’t care much about what you are talking. Smoking makes you lose

Oral Topic for Discussion 1、American individualism and Japanese collectivism：their origin and their role in modern society. 2、Express your view points on the saying “science is to be valued because it gives us control over our fate”and“poetry makes nothing happen”. 3、Express your viewpoint on the saying“money is everything”. 4、Discuss with your partners the problems that overpopulation causes. 5、The advantages and disadvantages of the internet.

01. American individualism and Japanese collectivism A：Hi, I heard that you are going to start a business after graduation. B：Yeah, I just have an idea. And some time ago, I attended the SYB of our school. Do you hear of American individualism and Japanese collectivism. I think it is worth to have a comparison in contemporary society. A：yes, of course. The individualism and collectivism play an important role In our daily life, especially in the company. B：So, do you know how values of Americans and Japanese evolve? A：know about it a little. The American value evolves from Hunting Societies, in which the accent was autonomy and individualism. The Japanese value comes from Planting Societies. Only a dozen families working together can produce a surplus. And the notion of interrelation, interconnection and interdependence was contributed. B：Yeah, you are right. And as we all know, Japan often suffer from natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Maybe it is also an very important historical reason. A: Do you think which one can play a more important role in modern society? B：Both American value and Japanese value have produced very successful results. But I believe that with economic development, neither individualism nor collectivism can meet the demands of the global community alone. A: yes, I agree with you. Extremely speaking, individualism can make us indifferent and cynical to others, and the society will lack harmony. Collectivism cannot provide maverick creativity and individual incentive. B：Hence, combining the two values is the best policy in the new economic environment.

人教版七下地理知识点梳理

前言：上学期的地理为世界地理总论，这学期的地理为世界分区/区域地理。在学习本册书的时候会用到上册学习过的知识，同时又会增加新的知识点，所以要求同学们在预习下册书的时候遇到相关知识要去联系上册学习过的 内容。这个知识梳理同学们可以配合课本一节一节看，大部分内容我是按照教材编写顺序梳理的，但考虑到有些知识点的前后关联会有所调整。后期开学还会重新梳理。 预习提示：1.结合知识梳理仔细看教材，相关图片也不要漏掉，图文结合，尽可能做到图文转换. 2.有计划的预习. 第六章我们生活的大洲——亚洲 第一节位置与范围 知识点一：亚洲的地理位置 半球位置：大部分位于东半球和北半球； 海陆位置：占据亚欧大陆大部分，三面临海：东—太平洋、北—北冰洋、南—印度洋 经纬度位置：大致位于南纬11度--北纬81度，东经26度--西经170度之间。 知识点二：亚洲是世界第一大洲： 1、①面积最大②跨纬度最广，地跨热、温、寒三带③东西距离最长 2、大洲分界线（上册已学） 亚欧分界线——乌拉尔山脉、乌拉尔河、里海、大高加索山脉、黑海、土耳其海峡； 亚非分界线——苏伊士运河亚洲和北美洲分界线——白令海峡 3、亚洲6个地理分区：东亚、东南亚、南亚、西亚、中亚、北亚，知道不同分区的一些主要国家。 第二节自然环境 了解：环境有自然环境和社会人文环境之分。自然地理环境是由气候，地形，水文，土壤，岩石，生物等自然地理要素组成。在地球表面上各个区域的自然环境要素及其结构形式是不同的，因此各处的自然环境也就不同。初中阶段一般说到某个区域的自然环境特征主要是从气候，地形，和水文这三个方面总结。

知识点一：亚洲的地形 1、地形特点：⑴地形类型复杂多样，中部以高原、山地为主。 ⑵面起伏大，地势中部高，四周低。 2、亚洲地理锦集（教材第8页阅读材料部分，需背诵以下内容，并要了解它们的位置） 青藏高原—世界上最高的高原，被称为“世界屋脊”； 喜马拉雅山脉—世界最高大的山脉； 珠穆朗玛峰—世界最高峰，海拔8844.43米； 西西伯利亚平原—亚洲最大的平原 阿拉伯半岛—世界最大的半岛 马来群岛—世界最大的群岛 贝加尔湖—世界最深和蓄水量最大的淡水湖 里海—世界最大的湖泊（咸水湖） 死海—世界陆地最低点 知识点二：亚洲的河流 1、特点——发源于中部的高原山地，呈放射状流向周边的海洋。 2、主要河流（结合P7图6-8） 知识点三：亚洲的气候 西亚—热带沙漠气候：全年高温少雨马来群岛—热带雨林气候：全年高温多雨 东岸三种季风气候：热带季风气候：全年高温，分旱季和雨季 亚热带季风气候：夏季高温多雨，冬季低温少雨 温带季风气候：夏季高温多雨，冬季寒冷干燥 亚洲内陆地区—温带大陆性气候：气温年较差大，全年降水少亚洲地中海沿岸—地中海气候：夏季高温干燥，冬季温和多雨亚洲北冰洋沿岸—寒带气候，终年寒冷中部高大的山脉和高原—高原山地气候 3、（熟读，理解）气候特点解析： ①气候复杂多样：亚洲地跨寒带、温带和热带，东、北、南三面濒临海洋，西北深人到亚欧大陆内部；地形复杂多样。受纬度位置、海陆分布、地形的影响，亚洲的气候复杂多样。除温带海洋性气候和热带草原气候以外，世界上的各种气候在亚洲都有分布。 ②季风气候显著：亚洲背靠世界上最大的陆地——亚欧大陆，濒临世界上最大的大洋——太平洋，海陆热力性质差异十分显著，形成了世界上最典型的季风气候区。热带季风气候、亚热带季风气候、温带季风气候都有分布，其中热带季风气候、温带季风气候惟独亚洲有分布。

英语口语考试topic

Topic1.Self-introduction My name is Jiangmengke , and my English name is Ordeal. I was born in Changzhou, a beautiful small town in the regions south of the Y angtze River. I have a big family with five people, my mum, my dad ,my elder brother, my younger sister and me. My father is a boss, running a factor on a small scale, whose secretary is my dear mum. In addition, my brother lives in America for further study. As a nineteen-year-old girl ,the same with others, I am interested in Korean TV series very much ,since there are many handsome boys and beautiful girls in it .Usually I like reading novels ,especially the beautiful lovers? novels. However , my favourite activity is doing sports, such as tennis which will strengthen my body. What?s more, I like singing very much, because it can make me feel happy. At last ,I want to say something about my characteristics . I am really a girl like a boy . Everyone can get along with me . When my friend are in trouble , I will try my best to help them .At the same time ,if my friends betray me ,I will never forgive them. https://www.wendangku.net/doc/1816092078.html,cation In China , we are promoting the concept of fair education . However , I have to say , it is hard to make it come true , since China has a large population , and there is too much difference between the rich areas and the poor ones. Although our government has invested a big amount of money in the education field , there still remain many problems . Recent years , many provinces begin to carry educational reform , but then , the result is not so satisfying . The reformer meant to reduce the study burden of the students , however , since the past educational approaches have exerted great influence on the students , once we force them to change their original thinking ways ,they must be confused. As a result , many of them will fail in their subjects. From my point of view, we don?t have to learn from the western education system, since our education system is really good. Maybe in our education system, we student lack the creative capability, but we have the formidable operational capability. On balance, I think ,our education system is good, just needs some improvement. Topic3.Fashion Nowadays, a growing number of people realize the significance of the fashion. Fashion is a trend that everyone pursue. Sometimes It means some beautiful clothes, and sometimes it means some luxuries that we can?t afford. From my point of view, it is not a good idea to pursue fashion regardless of your income. Nowadays there is a group called “moonlight”. In order to pursue the so-called fashion, they spend their money beyond their consumption capability. The group have raised a heated discussion. It occurs to me that it?s no longer a kind of fashion, instead, it is a morbid consuming behavior. Taking the clothes as an example, fashion is not the most beautiful clothes but your own wearing style which can reflect your temperament. We don?t have to buy too much expensive clothes; just some simple but suitable ones are enough. On the other hand we are students who have no income, so to choose the comfortable clothes is a good idea. In this way ,everyone can be fashionable. In a word, fashion is not what everyone likes but what you like. Topic.4.Sports Sport involves exercise, and that is good for your body, your mind and your feelings. Exercise keeps you busy, works your muscles, helps your body work better and releases chemicals into
