【题目】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.

1We learn from the second paragraph that ____.

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

2Parents 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

3The last paragraph implies that ____.

A. parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship

B. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older

C. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves

D. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked

4What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?

A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.

B. What to do with children's celebrity worship syndrome.

C. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.

D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.

【题目】Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as Mumbet or Mum Bett.

For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashleys wife tried to strike Mumbets sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious(狂怒的), she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.

While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.

Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.

【题目】The writers of murder stories go to a great deal of trouble to keep us guessing right up to the end. In actual fact, people often behave more strangely in real life than they do in stories.

The following advertisement once appeared in a local newspaper: "An opportunity to earn $250 in a few minutes. A man willing to take chances is wanted for an out-of-the-ordinary job which can be performed only once." A reader found this offer very generous and applied to the advertiser, but being a bit suspicious, he gave a false name. Soon afterwards, he received a reply. Enclosed in the envelope was a typed note instructing him to ring a certain number if he was still interested. He did so and learned on the telephone that the advertiser wanted him "to get rid of somebody" and would discuss it more fully with him the next day. But the man told the police and from then on acted under their instructions.

The police saw the two men met and watched them as they drove away together. In the car the advertiser came to the point at once: he told the man he wanted him to shoot his wife. The reason he gave was that he was suffering from an incurable disease and wanted to live in a warmer country,but his wife objected to this. Giving the man some money,the advertiser told him to buy a gun and warned him to be careful of the dog which,though it would not bite,might attract attention. He also gave him a photograph of his wife so that he would be able to recognize her,After that,the advertiser suggested that the man should "do the job" next morning. Meanwhile,he would prepare his wife by telling her that a young man was going to call. After the murder,they would meet again outside a railway station and the money would be paid as arranged. The second meeting never took place,for the advertiser was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with attempting to persuade someone to murder his wife.

【4】【改编】Where did the advertiser wish the man to shoot his wife?

【题目】Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.

【1】Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.

A. more interesting B. more formal

C. more detailed D. unusually popular

【2】Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A. Family income planning. B. Nation hatred.

C. A new type of robot. D. Street accident.

【3】We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.

A. have become the only ones of its kind

B. attract different people

C. appear at different times of the day

D. exploit the weaknesses in human nature

【4】Which statement about the passage is Not true? ______

A. Jerry Springer show is like poisonous waste, so nothing can be learnt from it.

B. The two kinds of talk shows are opposite in content.

C. Opera Winfrey show is helpful for those middleclass Americans

D. Jerry Springer show attracts those who are young and in trouble.
