　　Many young people want to become pop－stars．It is their great ambition(雄心)in life．They think pop－stars earn a lot of money, they lead interesting and exciting lives, thousands of fans love them, and they become famous!

　　Yes, but first they must become stars．Most performers star life with a group．This is the pattern nowadays．But there are many groups and competitions are hard．Groups appear and disappear almost overnight．Only a small number survive．Almost without exception they have to work very hard before they reach the top．

　　And very few reach the top and stay there．In England there are perhaps thirty or so groups at the top．Most of these do not earn so much money, perhaps 500 pounds each time they perform．What's more, they have quite a lot of expenses(开销)．They have to pay a manager, for example．He is the key person in their lives and takes about 20％ of their earnings－perhaps more．Then there are their clothes, their instruments and their van．Sometimes they are still playing for the last two items．

　　And don't forget, they have to travel a great deal－sometimes 2, 000 miles in one week．At times they even sleep in their van instead of a hotel, just to save money．

　　So now, what do you think? Are pop－stars so rich? And do they have such exciting lives?

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer．We should try to protect them．The four animals below are now in danger．

　　Tibetan Antelopes

　　Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊)are medium－sized animals．They mainly feed on grass．They are usually found in groups of about 20．They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes．Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool．The number of them is dropping year by year．There are less than 75, 000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago．

　　Golden Monkeys

　　Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province．Golden monkeys have golden－orange fur．They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads．They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos．But people are destroying the environment where they live．Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat．

　　Elephans

　　Elephants are very big and strong．They are bigger than any other animals on land．They are grey and have long trunks and tusks．They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell．They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks．Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours．Normally, they live in a group for many years．Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old．Now, there are very few elephants in the world．The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming．Also, people hunt them for their tusks．

　　Wolves

　　Wolves are not very big．They have grey fur．Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell．Wolves’ food is vavious．They eat animals, insects and snails．They are friendly to each other and never attack people．They do not kill for fun．Wolves are in danger, too．They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests．Soon they will have no home or food．
