問題詳情

四、篇章結構：每題1分，共5分It is hard to imagine that people would inject themselves with “poison” to look more beautiful. Yet, today, people all over the world are paying thousands of dollars to be injected with botulinum toxin —a bacterial poison popularly called “Botox.”Botox weakens and paralyzes human muscles. 41 Besides, Botox injections can solve the problem of excessive sweating by paralyzing nerves that activate the sweat glands. Thus, Botox is largely used for cosmetic purpose to help people look younger and more attractive. These benefits have made Botox increasingly popular. 42 Botox is the favorite chemical of celebrities across the world and is well-loved by Oscar nominees who do not wish to break into a nervous sweat on stage.Unfortunately, Botox is used rather irresponsibly. 43 People also store it in their fridges in close contact with food, which may cause food poisoning. 44 And it is also extremely dangerous for people above the age of 65. Since its effects last for only a few months, it needs to be used repeatedly, which only multiplies its harmful effects.Given these risks, one must wonder whether the signs of aging are preferable to the dangers that might result from the careless use of Botox. 45 The indiscriminate use of the poison of youth, Botox, thus continues.
