2. According to the author, now in America ____.
A. more people seek cosmetic treatment from nonphysicians than from physicians B. the society still has a low opinion of cosmetic surgery C. many people avoid talking about cosmetic surgery D. cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more popular
Lesson 20
With U.S. television shows like ABC’s Extreme Makeover, MTV’s I Want A Famous Face, and Fox’s The Swan—in which self-professed ugly ducklings are surgically transformed into beauty pageant contestants—and increased coverage in the print media, the general public is far more educated than ever before about the full gamut of available procedures. There is no doubt that all these shows are giant advertisements for cosmetic surgery. They have increased business, but underplay the risks.

The fact that more teenagers are getting cosmetic surgery — and at younger ages —has sparked an intense debate over various questions.
