As a contestant on The X Factor, 13-year-old Rachel Crow seemed to have exactly what it took to win: strong praise from judges, a beautiful voice, and a lovable personality. Then she was voted off.

When the results were read, Rachel broke down, sobbing and screaming for her mom, who had to rush onstage to comfort her.

It was a humiliating moment for Rachel, but a great moment for The X Factor — just the kind of drama TV audiences love.

Some fans said Rachel’s breakdown proved she was too young to be on the show. And though there was nothing exceptional about someone Rachel’s age being on reality TV — children and teens appear in everything from Dance Moms to The Biggest Loser — Rachel’s meltdown did raise an important question: Should kids be on reality TV at all? Many psychologists are saying “No”.

It’s well known that early fame can be harmful and that many former child stars struggle as adults. Being followed by photographers 24/7 and having everything they do reported in newspapers and blogs can be hard for young people to deal with. It can make them feel as though their worth depends on what others say. Reality TV takes the pressure of early fame to a whole new level. Kids on reality TV don’t play characters. They play themselves. Cameras expose their most private moments for our entertainment.

Laws exist that protect child actors, making sure they go to school and limiting the hours they can work. In many states, though, these laws do not apply to kids on reality TV, because they are not considered actors.

Dangers aside, there’s no doubt that reality shows do offer exciting opportunities and the potential to make money. A 7-year-old girl who attends a TV show earns about $36,000 per season. After competing on The X Factor, One Direction went on to become international stars. Even Rachel made out OK. She released an album and voices a character in the movie Rio 2. And she showed resilience (适应力). “I’m not feeling great, but I’ll be fine,” she told reporters after breakdown. “I’m Rachel still.”

1.The underlined word “humiliating” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “ _______”.

A. exciting B. precious

C. important D. embarrassing

2. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that some of Rachel’s fans thought that she _______.

A. was not good enough

B. deserved better results

C. should have been much stronger

D. shouldn’t have been on the show

3.Paragraph 5 is mainly about _______.

A. how kids should deal with pressure

B. why early fame can be harmful to kids

C. the importance of kids being themselves

D. what some former child stars have achieved

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Kids should look for more challenges.

B. Reality shows may change a kid forever.

C. Reality shows can benefit kids in some ways.

D. Kids can earn little money from reality shows.

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury（陪审团） reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”

“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly（麻木地）. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”

She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”

Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.

So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”

There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”

1.Paddy cried because he thought ___________.

A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

A．The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.

B．The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.

C．The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.

D．Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.

4.What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?

A．Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother．

B．Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.
