According to the Yahoo.com on November 19, exhausted South Korean students are now choosing their reward -- plastic surgery, with university entrance exams finally behind them。

　　A number of plastic surgery hospitals have taken advantage of a recent trend by some parents to reward their children for years of hard study with plastic surgery, offering substantial discounts for eye and nose operations。

　　Popular surgeries include "Westernizing" the nose to give it an upward tilt and double-eyelid surgery to make eyes look bigger, which is especially popular with young women。

　　"We already had a long reservation list with names of students even before they took the test," the manager of one hospital said。

　　Competition is fierce for places in education-obsessed South Korea's universities, and government data earlier this year showed that parents in South Korea spend nearly $20 billion a year, or about 2 percent of the country's GDP, on private education and cram schools to help students prepare。

　　据雅虎新闻网11月19日报道，随着大学入学考试的临近，饱受高考压力的韩国学生现在选择补偿自己的新方式：做整容手术。

　　韩国父母用整容手术奖励自己的孩子，补偿他们这么多年的刻苦学习。很多整容医院利用这个契机，推出鼻子和眼镜手术的特价优惠服务。

　　最受欢迎的整容手术包括隆鼻和双眼皮手术，韩国年轻女性都希望自己的眼睛看起来更大一些，鼻子更翘一些，所以这些手术备受她们喜爱。

　　一家整容医院的经理说：“我们已经有了一张长长的预约等候名单，很多学生在考试以前就开始预约了。”

　　韩国政府非常重视高等教育，大学入学考试竞争更加激烈。政府年初公布的统计数据显示，韩国父母每年投入近200亿美元用于私人教育和补习学校，相当于整个国家GDP的2%，帮助学生为高考做好准备。
