Friends are a part of our lives. In my life，I have a best friend named Lucy. She means a lot to me. My life would be less colorful without her. Although we sometimes argue，we still treat each other as best friends.
We met each other four years ago. She said hello to me with a sweet smile. I guessed that she was a gentle girl. And she really was. When I was in trouble，she always stood by me and made me feel better.
This winter holiday，we went to the amusement park Happy Valley together. We had fun together on the roller coaster （过山车）. We held each other's hands and shouted loudly when we were riding the roller coaster. It was so exciting. The ride made me feel a little sick, so she bought a bottle of water for me. This experience left me with a lot of good memories（回忆） and made our friendship stronger.
There is a line in the movie Soulmate that says， "If you step on someone's shadow，you will never leave each other. " So I will try my best to "step on her shadow". Many adults think that children can't be friends forever. But I don't believe this.
Maybe we won't always spend all of our time together. But I will enjoy the time I spend with her and the good memories she has given me.
Zhou Chuna，a normal 15-year-old girl，shared her experience of cosmetic surgery（整容手术），more and more young people in China are having cosmetic surgery. It was reported that 19 percent of Chinese medical beauty customers in 2020 were aged 18 or under.
Many beauty clinics（诊所） say that being more beautiful gives people an advantage in society，but the truth is that failed examples of cosmetic surgery are common to see. Once a teenage girl named Zhang had double eyelid surgery are common to see. Once a teenage girl named Zhang had double eyelid surgery.
Moreover，a large number of beauty care centers actually open against the law. It is said that China has about 13，000 beauty clinics.
More worrying，there is heated competition among the medical beauty clinics to win more teenage customers. Some businesses use catchphrases like "Only by becoming prettier can you be more loved" to spread" appearance stress". And many beauty clinics advertise directly to teenagers，encouraging them to" make some changes and let your classmates be amazed by your beauty in the new term". Some beauty clinics mislead their teenage patients by advertising low costs. One Internet user said she saw an advertisement for a 15﹣yuan treatment for pimples but the staff at the beauty clinic gave her a year's surgery plan which cost 8，000.
Many experts have said it's dangerous for teenagers to have cosmetic surgery. Teenagers are more at risk to advertisement and social pressure，not to mention their level of physical maturity（成熟）. That's why they are calling for stricter rules on the beauty clinics when it comes to the treatment of teenagers.

Almost everyone is afraid of something—snakes，heights，public speaking and so on.
It is normal and can even be helpful to experience fear sometimes. In dangerous situations，fear can keep our bodies alert（警醒的） so that we can act quickly to protect ourselves.
But for some people，fear develops into a"phobia"which is a strong and unreasonable fear of something. For example，the majority of us feel a little scared when looking down from a tall building. But people with height phobia may have trouble breathing, feel dizzy or turn down a great job just because the company is on the 20th floor.
Phobias can prevent you from living a normal life. "People with spider phobia would stay out of their home or dormitory room for days if they thought a spider was present，" Katherina Hauner，a researcher at Northwestern University US, told ABC news. This is why scientists have been trying to find a cure for this disease.
Since fear comes from experience—from what we are told，what we see others experience and what happens to us ﹣ some scientists think if they can"rewrite"these unpleasant memories，they might be able to help people overcome their phobias.
In a study by Hauner and other scientists participants with spider phobia were asked to first touch a spider with a paintbrush. Seeing that it was not actually dangerous，they then tried touching it while wearing a glove. Finally，they could hold it with their hands.
Certain medicine has also been found to be helpful. Back in 2010，researchers at the University of Hiroshima Japan injected（ 注射） a special medicine into a fish—who was afraid of light—to turn off the fear center in its brain. From then on, the fish no longer feard light.
While the search for solutions to phobias is making great progress，it's an open question whether getting rid of fear is good. Some people want to use these methods to make soldiers fight harder in wars by taking away their sense of fear. Dave Smithson of the Charity Anxiety UK thinks that's a bad idea. "It's fear that prevents us from doing crazy things. "he says. "There's a name for people who don't have fear of consequences: psychopaths（精神变态）".
