You may think the Americans would beat us at that, but weve taken and turned it into an art form. Like most people, our favourite TV subject is ourselves, which has led to a number of
19、 shows aiming to be as British as possible. So if you want to learn how to be British, sit down to a few episodes of these distinctly British shows。DOCTOR WHO Political aside, Doctor Who owes its long television life not only to a brilliant central character, terrifying alien foes and intelligent sc
20、riptwriting, but also to a distinctly British way of doing things. If the Earth is the Doctors favourite planet, its clear that Britain is his favourite country。SHERLOCKThe global popularity of the modernized Sherlock Holmes series has proven yet again that no amount of big blockbuster all-guns-blaz
21、ing cop shows can compete with the reserved and sharp detective work of one of Britains most well-loved characters. Benedict Cumberbatch has been rightly lauded for his depiction of the fast-thinking private eye, which has proven again we Brits are good at more than drinking tea。BLACKADDERSimilar to
22、 the Pythons, the brilliance of Blackadder is set in its genius application of witty and classically British humor.

23、ncluding an entire season of pointing fun at the French, one of the most British activities.FRIENDSI know what youre thinking Friends is an American show, about Americans living in America!

24、tirely by British writers, and if you watch the first season in comparison to the others, the difference really shows. British sense of humor that cant be replicated artificially.

28、e encouraged adolescents to pursue surgery to improve their physical appearance. As a result, more teenagers are going under the knife to achieve a desired look. When teens feel the need to have plastic surgery, they believe that it is not a huge deal, but they may not be mature enough to make such
29、a life altering. If teens feel inadequate before surgery, they will most likely feel disappointed afterwards. Not only is surgery complex and risky for mature adults, it is extremely dangerous for younger people, and some doctors are performing these procedures on kids as young as fourteen! The cost
30、 of procedures can add up to thousands of dollars. Insurance does not cover the costs of these procedures. Teenagers often pay for surgery themselvesa very costly purchase for a young person.

Even if there are no complications, there is no guarantee that surgery will provide the “ perfect” nose
32、or sculpted body. No matter how minor the procedure, it is not as effortless as it appears. Of course, there are cases where plastic surgery is appropriate.

33、he welfare of their child, and must guide them in the right direction. Fortunately, parents or legal guardians ( 监护人 ) must sign documents allowing their child to have plastic surgery. Doctors also need to be a part of the decision. Most experienced and trust-worthy physicians turn down the opportun
