As a kid, Kacey Long would dream of becoming a professional woman. While studying human resources management successfully at university, Long decided to change her look. So, at 19, she decided to get her breasts enlarged. “I was all about doing anything I could to improve myself,“ she says. With that decision, Long joined thousands of young patients who are surgically altering their appearance each year.Teenagers even younger than Long are having breasts enlarged, noses and ears reshaped and skin changed. In 2003, almost 336,000 American teens 18 or younger had some kind of cosmetic (美容) surgery or procedure, a 50% increase over 2002. Patient-safety advisers believe that many of the teens having surgery are unnecessarily putting themselves at risk of injury or even death.Teens are at the greatest risk of making a decision they will regret as Long did. Long had her breasts enlarged to size D, felt sick and weak within months after the $4,500-cost plastic surgery, and had her breast fillings removed two years later. She is still suffering from the long, painful recoveries. “I wish I had never done it,“ says Long. She is just one of those thousands who are actually risking their future beauty by going under the knife when they are still growing.

When you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests and ambitions. In most cases, you will visit a likely employer’s office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested.The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of the application form and a personal interview. Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job-seeking situations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs.These better jobs often request written letters of application and summaries of your background and experience. Your writing skills may play an important part in obtaining the job you desire. In any job-seeking situation, there are a number of ways you may use your writing skills: to complete an application form, prepare a resume, write an application letter, or write employment follow-up letters. As an ambitious job-seeker, therefore, you should be able to prepare all the written material that will help you obtain the job you want.

A credit card can be useful. You could take it into a store and buy a television set or new furniture or clothing or anything you wanted. All you would have to do is to sign your name and take what you wanted out of the store without paying cash. But there is a problem with the cards—they can be financial poison.These cards are just like the poisons we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us.These cards can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body. For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amount in interest.The insect is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger. Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are “over extended“.That is, they have more debt on their credit cards than they can pay. Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy. And they can even be used to pay for funerals. For some credit card users, a funeral may be the only solution to the debt problems they have caused for themselves by using credit cards.

Scientists in the United States have developed a computer program that they say could provide an early warning of major earthquakes.The system is designed to give a warning second before an earthquake strikes. That may not sound like very long. However, it could give people time to get under table.The flow of electric power or gas could be cut. Air traffic controllers could warn away pilots. Even so-called “smart buildings“ could be designed to get ready. Richard Allen of the University of Wisconsin and Hiroo Kanamori of the California Institute ofTechnology developed the program.They call it the Earthquake Alarm System. A report published in science magazine describes it. The system uses a mathematical program to measure information collected by instruments placed across the Los Angels area. Southern California already has more than 150 stations that measure movements within the ground.The information they collect is sent to high-speed computer. The new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once the shaking starts. Areas directly above the center of the earthquake would have the least warning. Distant places might have as long as forty seconds. Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require a major campaign of public education.Then, another problem is the possibility of false alarms.
