AAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great goo d 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, e specially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influenc ing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize t he celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lind say Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous tee n stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. M any kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenc ed 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 infl uenced because teenage years are the period when our person ality 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 t o pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endor se(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities ar e 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 o f parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a ve ry powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s goo d that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happe ning. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teen s to determine what’s in ad what’s out.21. From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A. lives an unhealthy lifestyleB. lives a rich and happy lifeC. doesn’t get any exerciseD. sets a good example for teenagers22 According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?A. They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appea r in many TV shows.C. They’re in their development period.D. They have nothing t o do in their spare time23 Many celebrities have to be on diet .A. to keep healthy to face competitionB. to survive under pressureC. to keep a slim sizeD. to satisfy th eir teenage fans24 What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Advice on self-control.C. Bad influences of celebrities.D. Media’s bad inf luences.BThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality an d value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's mo st widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major relig ion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers（哲学家） have their own golden idea. The golden mean says mode ration in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea l inked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoug hts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.（哲学思想）Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived i n peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A gol den age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scien tific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirtie s and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This mea ns silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothin g than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this express ion in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Chris tmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called " The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person doe s something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say som ething nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who see ks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested i n that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties th at are still well known and popular today. These are called gold en oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American tel evision comedy series told about four older women living in , . The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way. Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.25 .According to the “golden ratio”, which of the following objec ts in the most pleasant to see?26 .The article mainly tells us ___A .the value of gold B. the expressions with “gold”C .the history of gold industry D. the purity, beauty and power of gold27 .Which of the following statements is made out of place?A. The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Conf ucianism philosophical thought ,such as Golden Mean.B. At the beginning of the twenty first century computer reache d its Golden Age.C. She only dates guys with money. She’s a Gold Digger.D. My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages28 .What we can infer from the passage is that ___A. all the expressions in the article are positive descriptionB. the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek ph ilowpher AristotleC. the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s o r 60s which are not well-know todayD. in their golden yearw, older people can still work hard before their retireCAfter moving to the , immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to ch oose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to .The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being qu estioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. O nly 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did th e same.When their American identity was called into question during a f ollow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American d ishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, ove r more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Am ericans could participate in the study. Those who chose the mor e typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calori es, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Che ryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psycholo gy at the of . "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their live s, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the pr oblem. "In American society today, being American is associate d with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if th ey were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.29 According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.30 The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably m eans “_____”A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do31 According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American cul ture affects immigrants deeply32 Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eat ing habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean t o say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concer ning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain b ecause more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerat ed feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in t he grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an u nkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your pi ece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to th eir own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confi dent in what you just said, and two, you respect the other perso n enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution becaus e the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her p roblems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that momen t.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything mea ningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation b y pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s b est to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fo ol’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life where you will need t he power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and nee ds to be respected and appreciated.33 .The passage mainly tells us about ___A. when to stay silentB. why to stay silentC. how to stay silentD. whether or not to stay silent34 .What is the best to do during negotiation?A. Grasp every chance to say more than the otherB. Close your mouth and just listen to the otherC. Say what you could and draw a conclusionD .Speak out your own points and let the other speak out theirs35 What does the underlined word “elevate” most probably me an?start B. conclude C. interrupt D .cancel七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
