Tattoos and body piercings（穿孔）have moved up on the trend list in recent years．Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and“flesh ink”（紋身）．As with all other subjects，the Chinese will surely have to deal with this situation with respect to their children．To get a better view of what has happened in the West，1et’s sit down and hear what they say．

Tiara from Indiana： 

I personally think body piercing is sickening．If there were supposed to be holes in your body，you would have been born with them．I do，however，think that ear piercing is not wrong．There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing．Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous．I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.

Lee from Illinois：

Hi！I live in Illinois．I am 23．I have 12 tattoos and three piercings．I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector．You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs up on my art work．People on the street stop me to look at the tattoo on my leg．Most of them don’t know what it is．They just think the work itself is great.

Subotai from California：

I’m not prohibitive（禁止）of self-expression，but when I see high school students getting these piercings，I really wonder．In some cases，the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion．A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin．It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow’s.

Jackson from Ohio：

I don’t think it is wrong，but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything—I think that’s ridiculous．People who get the big“dragons that cover the whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary．”When I see naked chicks on guys，I think，“You have no respect for women．”

36．we infer          according to the passage．

    A．Tiara might have body piercings

B．Subotai can’t have body piercing

C．Lee thinks tattoos are art

    D．Jackson likes tattoos and piercings

37．Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercings except ear piercing are beautiful？

A．Jackson                                           B．Lee

C．Tiara                                       D．Subotai

38．we can conclude that         .

    A．tattoos and piercings are a new kind of elegant art

    B．a(chǎn)ll the teachers in the West are in favour of tattoos and piercings

C．everything is changeable as time goes on

D．it is necessary to live with different views of beauty

39．The best title for this passage is probably         ．

    A．Body Art or Causing Damage   

    B．Doing Damage to the Young People’s Bodies

C．Young People’s Different Curiosities

D．The Latest Fad（時尚）

Why People Get Tattoos

Jack lay, quiet and unmoving, for thirty minutes while a stranger
repeatedly stabbed (刺) him with sharp needles, causing blood to pour
steadily out of his leg. Jack was getting a tattoo. His friend Tony had
recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by it that he
decided to get one too. Peer pressure, media
influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons for
wearing tattoos today.
The desire to be accepted by one’s friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. Some of these groups wear only brand – name clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a person’s friends are all doing something, that person in more likely to do the same thing.
The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media images(人物，圖像) show tattoos－people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars, famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines, fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value.
Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings－in other words, to show their individuality(個性). A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life.
As you can see, there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos. A tattoo can be part of a group's uniform, a sign of fashion. or an expression of individuality. The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself. For Jack, it was a mixture of all three.
63．Jack has got tattoos in order to           .
A．show his great bravery                         B．gain a special experience
C．make himself more healthy                   D．be different from others
64．According to the passage, media images are linked to         .
A．traditional lifestyle                              B．social position
C．cultural background                             D．public interest 
65．We can infer from the passage that          .
A．some people get tattoos out of pressure 
B．tattoo is related to religious belief
C．getting tattoos costs a lot of money       
D．most people with tattoos are artists
66．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
 
CP: Central Point     P: Point     Sp: Sub – point (次要點)   C: Conclusion
