Making the choice to be truly beautiful下决心成为真正美丽的人Extreme makeovers are all the rage these days, with too many people addicted to Botox injection parties and reality shows. Plastic surgery is on the rise. Many people are trying to match the extraordinary measures actors and actresses go through to look perfect on the screen. Yet, the shortcuts to create biomedical happiness by having surgery, taking supplements or dieting don't usually fulfill their promise. Besides, beautiful people are not automatically happy people.当今,过度追求相貌修整的风气无比盛行,太多的人沉迷于肉毒杆菌注射的宣讲会和真人秀,整容手术也日趋流行。
许多人的做法堪比男女演员为了使自己在屏幕上看起来完美无瑕而采取的手段。
为了获得生物医学标准下的幸福感,人们会走做整容手术、吃营养品、节食这样的捷径,但这些捷径并不总能实现它们所承诺的效果。
而且,外表漂亮的人并不一定就幸福。
Attaining the highest degree of your beauty is not about looking good during social interaction, or physiological perfection, and you can't get there via technology. It's a growth process, a transformation of self through awareness and learning. It's about meaning, and being real. It's an emotional and spiritual walk, and it requires faith fueled with liberal doses of loving kindness.最大限度地实现你自己的美并不是指要让自己在社交时漂亮或在生理上完美,况且这些也不是通过技术就能实现的。

Unit2 section A1995 worldwide survey of film critics, Chaplin was voted the greatest actor in movie history. He was the first, and to date the last, person to control every aspect of the filmmaking process.2.Background information1.Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977)Charlie Chaplin was a British comedy actor, becoming the most famous actor in the early to mid Hollywood cinema era, and also a notable director. His principal character was “the Tramp”: a vagrant with the refined manners and dignity of a gentleman who wears a tight coat, oversized trousers and shoes, a bowler hat, a bamboo cane, and his signature toothbrush moustache. Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities in the silent film era: He acted in, directed, scripted, produced, and eventually even scored his own films. His working life in entertainment spanned over 70 years, from the British Victorian stage and Music Hall in England as a child performer, almost until his death at the age of 88. He led one of the most remarkable and colorful lives of the 20th century, from a Dickens-like London childhood to the pinnacle of world fame in the film industry and as a cultural icon. His high-profile public and private life encompassed highs and lows of both adulation and controversy.2. Monsieur VerdouxMonsieur Verdoux is a character inthe film entitled the same. He is an unemployed banker. While being both loyal and competent in his work, Verdoux is laid-off. To support his family, he periodically heads out of the town, marries wealthy widows and then murders them. This behavior eventually works against him when two particular widows break his normal routine.3. Modern TimesModern Times is a 1936 film by Charlie Chaplin that has his famous Little Tramp character struggling to survive in the modern, industrialized world. The film is a comment on the desperate employment and financial conditions many people faced during the Great Depression—conditions created, in Chaplin’s view, by the efficiency of modern industrialization.
