People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months,anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting,and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated,and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜) before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘) .If the star was a bad guy,I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid,I did not hold back that information.

I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly,many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes,being famous is everything,even more desirable than being truly creative and talented.

Why do we need stars? In fact,the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲聊).Over time,talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus,some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview— as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.

There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole,our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.

We make them stars,but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant,and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.

1.What are the stars like according to the author?

A.They always treat others rudely.

B.They always talk about something dull.

C.They are actually ordinary people.

D.They are usually honest and polite.

2.We worship stars because .

A.we need true mental heroes to support us

B.we can learn something useful from famous stars

C.we concern about the stars,family and friends

D.we like talking about the stars' dressing styles

3.When the author is writing this article,his tone sounds .

A.excited B.angry C.worried D.calm

4.What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?

A.To show the disadvantages of working with stars.

B.To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.

C.To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.

D.To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.

My grandmother Adele loved culture and was generous with its gifts. When I was a child, she took me to museums, restaurants, dances. She showered me with gifts from her travels around the world. But I can only remember her giving me one book—a book that, to this day, I have not read. She presented me with her own favorite childhood book: Hans Brinker. My grandmother was happy to share this book with me. She even decorated the title page with her proud writing.

I tried to read it. I adored reading, and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once. But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn’t let me in. The story was set in Holland, a long time ago. It felt dull and unfamiliar—even though I was a fan of classics of other times and places. I simply read the first pages over and over. I could not progress.

Standing on a bookshelf in our living room, the book was like something I avoided. It scolded me for not being interested, for not trying hard enough, for disappointing my grandmother.

The book started to fit in, almost forgotten, until Adele asked. Had I read it? Did I like it? Always determined, she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse, feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction. The book weighed on me.

Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker. Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf. The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I’ve lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift. Don’t ask, despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer. The desire for such connection is what gives book-giving with special meaning—and increases the owner’s possibility to be a letdown.

Guilt is basically the same as for all gifts, though. If the giver doesn’t have the pleasure of seeing or hearing about the gift being enjoyed, and asks whether it is, then the owner—unless she can truthfully say “yes”—either has to admit to not liking the present, or else lie on the spot. Neither is pleasant. So, don’t ask.

A very close friend phoned me this weekend and asked a specific question about earning a few extra dollars each month online. For the benefit of keeping her name and details secret, I will call her Annie in this article. You see Annie suffers from a severe form of inaction syndrome; she is full of great ideas that never materialize into cash and she is having a problem finding the link that will achieve this.

Somebody once said that knowledge is power, yet we constantly find from readers of our website that they have knowledge to burn and still do not have power. Just look at the academics in universities all around the world; they have so much knowledge that they should control the wealth of the world. In truth they work for peanuts and very few of them ever achieve the power of independence. So knowledge certainly isn’t power. Therefore, we should change that “wise” statement to:“Power is the ability to use knowledge to your own benefit.”

That paragraph was inserted because Annie is a typical academic—strong on talk and plans but a little weaker on actions. In the period of a twenty-minute conversation, she expounded(阐述)a whole list of plans and ideas to make the extra few hundred dollars each month she was seeking. Any one of her many ideas was a potential money maker, but she had taken action on none of them. At one time she said, “I’m lost as to what to do next.”

That was my cue(提示)to get involved. “Take action,” I advised.

All that is wrong is that Annie was inactive without knowing it. In five minutes we drew up a plan of action and agreed to talk again in a month to review progress. When we finished the conversation, she sounded much happier and more motivated than when we started. Annie just needs a little nudge into beneficial action.

1.What’s the problem with Annie?

A. She has too many great ideas.

B. She never puts her ideas into practice.

C. She suffers from a strange illness.

D. She knows little about making money online.

2.What is the most important according to the author?

A. The ability to use one’s knowledge.

B. The ability to acquire knowledge.

C. A great deal of knowledge.

D. A good understanding of oneself.

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Annie will succeed in later life.

B. Annie is going towards success.

C. Annie doesn’t realize her problems.

D. Annie talks too much in daily life.

4.The underlined word “nudge” in the last paragraph probably means________.

A. push B. advice C. training D. Power
