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.
B. celebrity worship can cause serious problems
C. parents needn"t worry about celebrity worship
D. celebrity worship only exists among teens
B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship
C. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today
D. celebrities expose their lives too much
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
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
D. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves
B. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.
C. What to do with children"s celebrity worship syndrome.
D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.

举一反三
you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.
But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that
they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧
握) at one another"s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new
directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record.
Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come
out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or
her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from
the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today"s parents have come to award
high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants
to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical
music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.
You may have some thoughts that you don"t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it.
Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That
is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
B. teenagers to try to pursue their real selves
C. parents to try to control and guide their children
D. people to try to understand and respect each other
B. turning to their friends for help
C. walking a new way on their own
D. following the popularity trend
B. the popularity wave in the society
C. the parental care and love
D. the dazzling music world
B. Instructive.
C. Influential.
D. Authoritative.
and follows his/her own path?
B. He/She loses good friends.
C. He/She faces all kinds of criticism.
D. He/She falls behind the time.

with playing games; 1_____ playing games, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also cultivate their

However, most children are 2_____ (face) with a completely different situation. Most parents fear that

which are very useful in developing children"s imagination and practical abilities.
8_____ is a piece of good advice to those parents: 9_____ you want to expect your child to be able to
accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt to the new surroundings. That

video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably ask what"s wrong with a, society
that presents videos of violence as entertainment.
Viewing large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute to violent behavior in
certain individuals. The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate
the case for causality (因果关系). Skeptics (怀疑论者) were dismayed several years ago when a group of
societies including, the American Medical Association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement,"
At this time, well over l,000 studies... point to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive
behaviors (攻击性行为) in some children."
Freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of appealing to politicians, and even disputed the
number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). When Jonathan Freedman, a social
psychologist at the University of Toronto, reviewed the literature, he found only 200 0r so studies of television-
watching and aggression. And when he weeded out "the most doubtful measures of aggression", only 28%
supported a connection.
The critical point here is causality. The alarmists say they have proved that violent media cause aggression.
But the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. When labeling games as violent or non-
violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a violent event? And when experimenters record the
time it takes game players to read "aggressive" or "non-aggressive" words from a list, can we be sure what
they are actually measuring? The intention of the new Harvard Center on Media and Child Health to collect and
standardize studies of media violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions
is an important step in the right direction.
Another appropriate step would be to tone down the criticism until we know more. Several researchers
write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. That is, of course, their
privilege. But when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter has now been settled,
drawing criticism from colleagues. In response, the alarmists accuse critics and news reporters of being
deceived by the entertainment industry. Such clashes help neither science nor society.
B. Something has gone wrong with today"s society.
C. Many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed.
D. Showing violence is thought to be entertaining.
B. A causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence.
C. Most studies overstate the effect of media violence on the viewers.
D. The influence of media violence on children has been underestimated.
B. insist on a direct link between violent media and aggressive behavior
C. initiate the debate over the influence of violence media on reality
D. use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior
B. It should come to an end since the matter has now been settled.
C. The past studies in this field have proved to be misleading.
D. More studies should be conducted before conclusions are drawn.
Gustafson have managed to turn this accessory into a necessity in the struggle to feed the world"s hungry
children, one handbag at a time. "There"s no other choice," Gustafson said. "We have to help them get into
school. That"s the only choice we have."
The pair met four years ago through their work with the United Nations. What they saw inspired the launch
of their collection FEED.
Their first bag, a $ 60 reusable shopping one, provides a school meal for a child anywhere in the world for
an entire a year, "World hunger seems so far away and so overwhelming (势不可挡的) for most people," Bush
said."So to know exactly what you"re doing is great."
FEED now has a dozen styles in some of New York"s most popular stores. Prices range from $ 15 to $ 195.
The cost varies because each bag provides help in a different way and says so right on the back.
When the earthquake hit Haiti, FEED designed the "FEED Haiti 50" bag. It provides 50 school lunches for
children there. "That meal that a child gets in school is almost certainly the only proper meal that they get
everyday," said Marcus Prior, UN spokesperson in Haiti.
Every year hunger and malnutrition kill more people in developing nations than AIDS, malaria, and
tuberculosis combined. That"s 3 million children who never make it to their fifth birthday. 300 million other
children go to bed hungry every night.
Since 2007, FEED has donated $ 5. 5 million to the UN World Food Program. "Hunger is a very terrible
feeling, it"s a very terrible way to die," Gustafson said. "To know that just through selling a product we can
help them get the most essential to human life-food to thrive-is very powerful."
B. To recycle the waste handbags.
C. To promote the sales of handbags.
D. To make all the children receive a good education.
B. Its price stays the same.
C. It is popular with lots of women.
D. The help it offers is marked on the back.
B. she was proud of what they did
C. she had ever suffered hunger
D. she called on people to help the hungry
B. depression
C. balanced diet
D. super nutrition
Franklin. Benjamin"s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize
today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people,
and on all sorts of political subjects.
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin"s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present
printed form will remain alive for long Newspaper complies are losing advertisers (广告商), readers, market
value and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several
years ago. The chief editor (主编) of the times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one
another, "How are you?", as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came." An article about
the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline "NOT DEAD YET."
Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step
with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their
market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54%
since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested
that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by
changing part of its business to education its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the
company"s income.
B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.
C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.
D. It comes articles by political leaders.
B. They care a lot about each other"s health.
C. They stop doing business with advertisers.
D. They face great difficulties in their business.
B. The Guardian
C. The New York Times
D. New England Courant
B. Hopeful
C. Worried
D. Surprised
