London—British supermodel Kate Moss quitted modeling for a time last year after becoming disillusioned (be set free from mistaken beliefs) with the industry's hedonistic(享乐主义的) and drug-fuelled lifestyle.

    “I quit because I thought: 'I hate ... it'. I didn't want to have to say I am a model ever again.” Moss said in an interview with Britain's Time Out magazine published Tuesday. The Londoner told the magazine the only way she could deal with life in the fashion industry was to “get out of it” in an apparent (显而易见的) reference to her much-publicized battle with alcohol and drugs.

    “In fashion, excess (无节制的) is not for creative purposes, whatever people may say. It is about escapism. You just have to get out of it to deal with it.” Moss said.

    It was the only way that you could go out night and night and do all these boring dinners. You are never allowed to be tired. It is a sin to be tired.

    But Moss, whose skinny (瘦骨嶙峋的) frame and delicate features have adorned (装饰) countless magazine covers over the last 10 years, was eventually persuaded to return to the job that made her a superstar and one of the wealthiest women with an estimated fortune of 15 million pounds ($ 21. 84 million).

    Moss said that this time round, she was determined to do things differently and have more control over the type of the work she did.

    “I have made my mistakes and I have learned my lesson.”

1．Who does “the Londoner” in the second paragraph refer to?

    A. Kate Moss.

    B. The reporter.

    C. The reader.

    D. Kate's boss

2．Why did Kate Moss quit her job?

    A. Because she wasn't able to earn her living by doing it.

    B. Because she didn't like this kind of way of life any longer.

    C. Because she wasn't popular any longer.

    D. Because she fell into the habit of taking drugs.

3．Which of the following is implied in the passage?

    A. Kate Moss is a popular model and she used to be burdened with too much work.

    B. Kate Moss accepted an interview from a magazine.

    C. Kate Moss is very rich.

    D. Kate Moss isn't a model any longer.
