6、rguments in Americas Old West were settled on Main Street with six guns, and early cave-dwellers chose their women with a club. Civilizing influences ended those practices yet we are told sports violence should be tolerated. The second contention is that athletes accept risk as part of the game, and

7、, in the case of professional, are paid handsomely to do so. But can anyone seriously argue that being an athlete should require the acceptance of unnecessary physical abuse? And, exaggerated as it may seem the pay of professional athletes presumable reflects their abilities, not a payment against c

8、ombat injuries. “Clearly we are in deep trouble,“ says perplexed former football player A1DeRogatis. “But how and why hag it gotten so bad?“ 53 According to the author, the distinction between violent acts and nonviolent ones in sports is_. （ A） impossible to make （ B） not very clear in any circumst

13、largements and nose jobs, has increased by mom than 400 per cent. According to Dr Dai Davies, of the Plastic Surgery Partnership in Hammersmith, the majority of cosmetic surgery fantastic lengths to improve their appearance fly a desire to look normal. “What we all crave is to look normal, and norma

14、l is what is prescribed by advertising media and other external pressures.
