Please use at least one example to illustrate how theory explains your chosen myth（s).

听力原文：M: Hey, Amy! How's your weekend?

F: It's terrific! I've been to the theme park on Knotts Berry Farm.

M: Really? I've been to there once, but I felt too scared to ride on anything.

F: You should have tried at least once. I think Supreme Scream tower was the most exciting one. It hoists riders 104 meters upwards and then plummets them back to earth in just three seconds at a speed topping 100 kilometers an hour.

M: Didn't you feel afraid?

F: When I was buckling myself into my seat at the start, the ride didn't seem so frightening. But once you were hoisted steadily skywards and were brought to a halt at the peak of the ride, you definitely would feel upset.

M: And then? What happened next?

F: Although the wait was only about 10 seconds it seemed an eternity since you know the only way out of this situation is straight down, and in a hurry. But I must say the view is superb from up there some people said it is the best in Orange County. But you won't have time for scenic snapshot.

If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, it may explain at least one of their shared beliefs: Men and women can't be real friends. Many may point to the jealousy that plagues many rational people when a significant other befriends someone of the opposite sex. Boil it down to the inherent differences between the sexes. It just can't be done. Is it right?

Wrong, say relationship experts. "The belief that men and women can't be friends comes from another era in which women were at home and men were in the workplace, and the only way they could get together was for romance," explains Linda Sapadin, Ph. [D], a psychologist in private practice in Valley Stream, New York. "Now they work together and have sports interests together and socialize together." This cultural shift is encouraging psychologists, sociologists and communications experts to put forth a new message: though it may be tricky, men and women can successfully become close friends. What's more, there are good reasons for them to do so.

Society has long singled out romance as the prototypical male-female relationship because it spawns babies and keeps the life cycle going; cross-sex friendship, as researchers call it, has been either ignored or trivialized. We have rules for how to act in romantic relationships (flirt, date, get married, have kids) and even same-sex friendships (boys relate by doing activities together, girls by talking and sharing). But there are so few platonic male-female friendships on display in our culture that we're at a loss even to define these relationships.

A certain 1989 film starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal convinced a nation of moviegoers that romance always comes between men and women, making true friendship impossible. "When Harry Met Sally set the potential for male-female friendship back about 25 years," says Michael Monsour, Ph. D., assistant professor of communications at the University of Colorado at Denver and author of Women and Men as Friends: Relationships across the Life Span in the 21st Century. "Almost every time you see a male-female friendship, it winds up turning into romance."

In 1989, Don O'Meara, Ph. D., a sociology professor at the University of Cincinnati-Raymond Walters College, published a landmark study in the journal Sex Roles on the top impediments to cross-sex friendship. Among several challenges he pointed out in his research, society may not be entirely ready for friendships between men and women that have no sexual subtext. People with close friends of the opposite sex are often barraged with nudging, winking and skepticism: "Are you really just friends?" This is especially true, says O'Meara, of older adults, who grew up when men and women were off-limits to each other until marriage.

What does the word "befriends" (Line 3, Para. 1 ) most probably mean?

A．Stop being friends with.

B．Go on a date with.

C．Become friends with.

D．Have a fancy or particular liking or desire for.

In Korea, surgeons estimate that at least one in 10 adults have received some form. of surgical upgrade. It wasn't too many generations ago that South Korean kids had no control over their looks. Their hair, for example, was considered a gift from their parents—never to be cut, But today, kids drop into the plastic surgeon's office after school, and when they get home their folks can barely recognize them.

Having bigger eyes is every girl's dream, and it can now be realized through a simple $$00 operation, in which a small incision or suture is made above the eyes to create an artificial double did. Teenagers as young as 14 are doing it, and eye jobs have become a favorite high school graduation gift from proud parents.

Clinics are busiest during winter vacations, when high school seniors are preparing themselves for college or for entering the workplace. The majority come for the eyelids, but nose jobs are also becoming popular among teens. "Teenagers are plastic surgery experts," marvels Dr. Lee Min Ku, a Seoul surgeon whose patients are mostly in their teens or 20s."They tell the doctor, using scientific words, which surgery methods to use." But despite the medical knowledge they bring to the clinics, many teens still show their age. "They end up handing you a magazine," says Lee, "and asking for T.V. star Kim Nam Ju's eyes."

Park Sang Mi's parents were against plastic surgery until her older sister came home one day with bigger eyes. Park followed suit last year, her parents approved, and she took a part-time job at Baskin Robbins to help them foot the bill. "Now I know nobody will laugh at me for being ugly," Park says gratefully. Her boyfriend knows her eyelids are altered, she adds, but he absolutely loves them. Park, now 20, doesn't have plans to return to the clinic immediately, but wants liposuction performed on her thighs to make her legs look thinner. Meanwhile, she'd considering her friends' advice to trash her old photographs.

South Korea is even more competitive than it is conservative. And with so many young people having themselves remade, parents are afraid their children will fall behind, not just academically but aesthetically. "Parents make their kids get plastic surgery," says Dr. Shim Hyung Bo, a plastic surgeon practicing in Seoul, "just like they make them study. They realize looks are important for success." Which means that in today's Korea, getting your eyes done can be easier than getting the keys to dad's car.
