Question

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)要求完成文后各小題。
Nowadays people are making themselves beautiful in Korean ways.
"Thank goodness you have double eyelids(雙眼皮). Your parents will save a lot of money." said a family friend when I was five years old. Double eyelids, which almost all the white people have, are rare among Northeast Asians. Only 25% of South Koreans are born with double eyelids.
I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money until this summer. When I came back to Seoul, everywhere I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics(整形診所) and advertisements with South Korean women—tall, thin, with milky skin, long legs, nice big eyes and perfect noses. I found that South Korean beauty meant looking as "white" as possible.
Cosmetic surgery has a kind of magical attraction(吸引) to women — the promise of beauty. Women are often sure that suffering is necessary and worthy in order to be beautiful. This suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to a better-looking child and a better life.
Appearance is starting to be more important in work places. People with good appearance can have more chances. For example, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and very tall, gets more job chances than his best friend, who is short and heavy, though both of them came from the same college, had the same good marks in their studies. In fact, many South Koreans believe that physical beauty equals happiness.

【解析】文章大意：本文主要講述了在韓國(guó)，外在形象很重要，一些整形診所是很常見的而且也很受歡迎。
（1）根據(jù)原文第一段：“Only 25% of South Koreans are born with double eyelids.”可知僅有25%的韓國(guó)人是天生的雙眼皮，故填Only 25% (of South Koreans).
（2）根據(jù) " I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money until this summer."可知作者直到這個(gè)夏天才理解有雙眼皮可以給自己的父母省錢，故填This summer. / Until this summer。
（3）根據(jù)：“Cosmetic surgery has a kind of magical attraction(吸引) to women ”可知整形診所對(duì)女人有很大的吸引力，故填Yes, it does.
（4）根據(jù)：“It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to a better-looking child and a better life.”可知長(zhǎng)相好，可能找到一份更好的工作，故填People with good appearance.
