This kind of

9、 surgery is called cosmetic surgery, and both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive (有竞争力的)in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to face-lifts(面部拉皮手术), liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants

10、(putting artificial parts into their bodies )to help them look younger. As companies downsize(缩编)and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. These operations are not with

11、out dangers, however.One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described, her experience as terrible. She said, “When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though hed given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everthing.“ She went on to explain, “I knew I h

13、 even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.Liposuction, taking fat out of the body, is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small

14、pipe is put into the cut. A machine like a vacuum cleaner is then used to suck the fat out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not evenly done, liposuction can

You may have to try again and again to reach them through other means such as the Internet or ICQ chat lines until you find where they are.2But never fear, the future will bring this running around to an end, an executive with Lucent Technologies says.3“If you co

The integrated telecommunication network is expected to be the next big thing in the next couple of years.5Future networks will be developed to be multi-service networks that can support all kinds

Users would be able to communicate with one another across the different devices with a variety of multimedia contents such as voice, data and video.6“Its the next generation network,“ Cohen said. “Its to combine fixed-l

Instead of having severa

25、through all communication methods as the number will associate with each individuals communication device connected to the network, “Cohen said.8To usher the industry in the future, Lucent has introduced what is called SoftSwitch technology to be the brain for the “next generation“ network.

29、 Energy Crisis/BOne key question for the next century is how we provide energy in an environmentally sound way.As living standards rise in the developing world, energy consumption will increase. As a result, many countries are now opening the door for private investment in a sector that used once to

30、 be solely the preserve of government.In the developed world, the move is towards the deregulation and privatization of electricity generation and distribution. There is also a trend towards locally-generated energy, particularly in the developing world. Factories and shopping centers may one day ha

31、ve their own power sources.Progress is also being made in minimizing the environmental impact of energy production and consumption. A motor car today puts out perhaps 5 percent of the pollution a new car did in 1970. We can produce clean power too but it costs, so in the new millennium(一千年) were to

32、some extent going to have the environment we can afford.The spectre of scarce or impossibly expensive energy is no longer with us, thanks to a combination of opening up new regions of the world and new technologies. Shortage is very unlikely. Environmental considerations mean there is a seriousness

33、too about alternative energy sources that wasnt there ten years ago.Right now the fuel cell is at the top of the list of alternative technologies. Advances in turbine transportation mean that natural gas is going to have an ever-increasing role. Nuclear power may prove competitive enough to have a m

34、uch longer life than many expect, but until theres a major change in public sentiment, I dont expect to see much new nuclear construction.Will the grip of oil on personal transportation continue? Sports utility vehicles like Land Rovers and jeeps are hardly the perfect means of urban transport. But

35、people have become very attached to their automobiles. So until we get around to technology where we beam ourselves around, I suspect well continue to have them. Some may be electric; others could run on cleaner oil-based fuel or natural gas.One area which is certainly not clear is the impact of the

36、 internet on transport. On the one hand, you will be able to accomplish by sitting in front of a screen what you used to have to go to the airport for, on the otherhand, increased knowledge may well fuel a rising demand for travel. We are only at the beginning of a revolution that is already being c

42、ed among the causes of happiness or among the causes of unhappiness may perhaps be regarded as a doubtful question. There is certainly much work which is exceedingly weary and an excess of work is always very painful. I think, however, that, provided work is not excessive in amount, even the dullest

43、 work is to most people less painful than idleness. There are in work all grades, from mere relief of tedium up to the profoundest delights, according to the nature of the work and the abilities of the worker. Most of the work that most people have to do is not in itself interesting, but even such w

44、ork has certain great advantages. To begin with, it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most people, when they are left free to fill their own time according to their own choice, are at a loss to think of anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing

45、. And whatever they decide, they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been pleasanter. To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level. Moreover the exercise of choice is in itself tiresome. Ex

46、cept to people with unusual initiative it is positively agreeable to be told what to do at each hour of the day, provided the orders are not too unpleasant. Most of the idle rich suffer unspeakable boredom as the price of their freedom from toil. At times they may find relief by hunting big game in

47、Africa, or by flying round the world, but the number of such sensations is limited, especially after youth is past. Accordingly the more intelligent rich men work nearly as hard as if they were poor, while rich women for the most part keep themselves busy with innumerable trifles of those earth-shak

48、ing importance they are firmly persuaded.Work therefore is desirable, first and foremost, as a preventive of boredom, for the boredom that a man feels when he is doing necessary though uninteresting work is as nothing in comparison with the boredom that he feels when he has nothing to do with his days. With this advantage of work another is associated, namely that it makes holidays much more delicious when they come. Provided a man does not have to work so hard as to impair his vigor, he is likely to find far more zest in his free time than an idle man could possibly find
