Beauty: The Korean Way "Thank goodness you have double eyelids (双眼皮). Your parents will save a lot of money," said a family friend when I was five years old. Double eyelids, which almost every Caucasian (白种人) has, are rare among Northeast Asians. Only 25% of South Koreans (韩国) are born with double eyelids. I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money until that summer when I came back to Seoul. The moment I arrived in the city, I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics (整容诊所) everywhere, along with billboards (街上大型广告牌) featuring South Korean women who had Western characteristics— |

tall, thin, with a milky complexion (肤色), long legs, nice big eyes, and the perfectly-angled nose. I figured out that South Korean beauty meant looking as "white" or Caucasian as possible. South Korea is known to have the highest ratio (比例) of cosmetic surgeons to citizens worldwide. It is very common for girls to get eyelid surgery as high school graduation presents. What made South Koreans fall so madly in love with cosmetic surgery? Cosmetic surgery has some kind of magical appeal (吸引力) to them-the promise of beauty. Women are often convinced (深信不疑) that suffering and sacrificing (牺牲) is necessary and worthy in order to be beautiful. And this suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to better-looking children and a better lifestyle. This beauty ideal (期望) is not a trend (时尚), but a very real standard that is growing deeper within South Korean society. Appearance is starting to play a bigger role in the workplace to the extent that men are also resort to (求助于) cosmetic surgery. For instance, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and over six feet tall, gets many more job offers than his best friend, who is shorter and heavier, even though both of them graduated from the same college and had the same GPA (平均绩点) and certificates. In fact, many South Koreans believe that physical beauty (形体美) equals happiness. 1. How many South Koreans are born with double eyelids? 2. There are cosmetic surgery clinics everywhere in Seoul, aren't there? 3. What does South Korean beauty mean? 4. When do girls usually get eyelid surgery in South Korea ? 5. Are South Koreans very fond of cosmetic surgery? 6. What do many South Koreans believe ? 7. What do you think of beauty? |

When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy, and he spent many years in the 1960s and 1970s in a special hospital for people with mental health problems.
When he left hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, in America. But when he was there, he did things in different ways. For example, he didn’t like the doctors’ white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients, and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams very much because he was too different.
Adams believed that people in hospital need more than just medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them, not just as patients, but as people too. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital, and often put a special red nose on his face so he looked like a clown and made the children laugh.
When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called The Gesundheit Institute, with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.
Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film, Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, “Hunter is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who’s a friend. I enjoyed playing him”
