As we know,many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them.But,does size really matter?Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)?Do celebrities really have the power to influence people,especially teenagers?

For the longest time,many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act.Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days?Even,their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days.Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley.They are definitely famous teen stars.But,since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business,their health and body suffer.Many kids are aware of this problem.But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.

It is a fact that the media,and especially famous teen celebrities,can influence people powerfully.But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place.Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts.They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies.With fierce competition,celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.

Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents.Media,especially as well as the celebrities,have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad.It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening.If not,parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in ad what’s out.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

If you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.

Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you’re in the car? No. You wouldn’t.

When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat can’t do this. They are stuck in one position, and they can’t move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.

In a traditional car seat, the child can’t move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger.

The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-Point Harness(背带)gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.

I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com, and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. It’s a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the car without the car seats.

The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person.

1.From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a _______.

A. car seat B. car for children

C. safety belt D. game on islandbreeze.com

2.The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for________.

A. a person hating sitting in the car for long

B. an adult often driving a traditional car

C. a child requiring some freedom in the car

D. a driver needing comfortable seats

3.The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to ________.

A. support the topic of the child car safety

B. describe the advantage of the FreedomRide

C. introduce the detail of the author’s work and web.

D. describe what the author does with his child car seat

4.The next part following the last paragraph may mention________.

A. the way of ordering

B. the way of communicating

C. the inventor of this product

D. the advantage of the product
