     When I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan
letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock
concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities (名人) ; my friends and I discussed for
hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my
mother crazy! But after a few years, my obsession (迷恋) stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence
to socialize with "real" boys.
     In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the
explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It's no
wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment
stories and the lives of celebrities.
     Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for
teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds
interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little
interest in school or withdrawing from the family.
     When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered
normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to
have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may
be the time for concern. Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with
celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars
often have damaged relationships with their parents.
1. The first paragraph is intended to tell us ____.
A. it's normal for a teen to have celebrity worship

A. teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities
B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship
C. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today
D. celebrities expose their lives too much
3. Parents should become concerned when their children ____.
A. talk a lot about celebrities with others
B. put up celebrity posters in their bedrooms
C. ask to go to their favorite star's concert
D. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star
4. The last paragraph implies that ____.
A. parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship
B. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked
C. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
