• 2．Every child who grows up in a big family needs a little peace sometimes.As a little girl，Nalini Nadkarni discovered one place where she could always find it.She would climb up into the tall trees around her home.There，high in the trees，she made herself a promise.One day，she would become someone who could use her love of trees to help protect them.
     As she grew，she became interested in the rainforest.Looking up into the forest trees，Nalini thought there were surely things to be learned in the treetops.She was told，however，that there was nothing important to learn high above her head.Luckily，that didn't stop her.Instead，she used her rock climbing skills to safely reach the forest treetops.There，she discovered the whole ecosystem.It needed to be studied so scientists could get deeper understanding of the rainforest.
     Dr Nadkarni also discovered the importance of canopy soil（树冠层土壤）.When mosses（藓）and other plants that live on trees die，they slowly become canopy soil.The soil is nutrient-rich，and the whole ecosystem depends on it.Even the trees themselves take nutrients from canopy soil.
     To create greater interest in forest studies，Dr Nadkarni really got creative.In the early 2000s，she bought second hand Barbie dolls and turned them into "forest Barbies".Finally，Mattel，the company behind Barbie，used Dr Nadkarni's idea to create dolls to make science interesting to children everywhere.Now，Dr Nadkarni can truly consider her childhood promise well kept.

• 3．In order to increase their job chances after college，Chinese students are turning to a special practice--Eiffel Tower nose jobs（鼻子整形手术）.The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is classic，slim and sloping similar to the sweeping curve of the Eiffel Tower.
     Surgeon（外科医生）Wang Xuming said， "We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower；we are not content to just add something to the nose；we reconstruct it.The surgery costs about US ﹩10，000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.
     Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing City，where surgeon Xuming runs his practice.They show a Western-looking woman almost-too-perfect nose，against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.
     Interestingly，many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance，as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. "Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation.If their facial features are good，they'll have more chances of finding a job，" said surgeon Xuming. "We've had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose；it's helped them a lot."
     Apparently，Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates.Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads.Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty "enhancement"（提高）.
     According to a Mr.Li，hospital manager at surgeon Xuming's clinic，most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family."They usually come in with their mothers and tend to be from well-off backgrounds，" he said.
  
  （1）Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation to
