21、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; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favourite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my mother crazy ! But after a few years, my obsession 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 are often 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.
【1】The first paragraph is intended to tell us________.
A. parents needn’t worry about celebrity worship
B. celebrity worship can cause serious problems
C. it’s normal for a teen to have celebrity worship
D. celebrity worship only exists among teens
【2】We can learn from the second paragraph that________.
A. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today
B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship
C. teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities
D. celebrities expose their lives too much
【3】Parents 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 favourite star’s concert
D. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star
【4】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.
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?
22、High-quality customer service is preached (宣扬) by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers—and anyone who will listen.
Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde Group and Wharton School.
“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde Group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”
On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others, and will no longer visit the specific store. For every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative review. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.
According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.
The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered (塞满了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.
During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved parking problems by getting moonlighting (业余兼职的) local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces. This guidance eliminated the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.
Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.
Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.
“Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly,” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.
【1】Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?
A. Most customers won’t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.
B. Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.
C. Few customers believe the service will be improved. .
D. Customers have no easy access to store managers.
【2】What does Paula Courtney imply by saying “…the shopper must also find a replacement” (Line 2, Para. 4)
A. New customers are bound to replace old ones.
B. It is not likely that the shopper can find the same products in other stores.
C. Most stores provide the same kind of service.
D. Not complaining to manager causes the shopper some trouble too.
【3】What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?
A. Manners of the salespeople.
B. Hiring of efficient employees.
C. Huge supply of goods for sale.
D. Design of store layout.
【4】To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ________.
A. exert pressure on stores to improve their service
B. settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic way
C. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
D. shop around and make comparisons between stores
23、What do fingerprints reveal about your health risks? How do your cells defend against cancer?
Science has many of the answers — but not all.
When I was in my 40s, I got a tantalizing call from my father. He’d been browsing through an old footlocker and discovered letters from a great-great-uncle, Charles Kelley. They dated to 1922, when Charles had just been diagnosed with type I diabetes. At the time, the diagnosis was a death sentence.
Somehow this insurance man from Huron, South Dakota, made his way to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, where doctors were testing a new drug. Charles was accepted as one of the guinea pigs. He noted that each day’s injection cost him a small fortune, though luckily he could afford it.
By the time the University of Toronto team of doctors that had invented insulin won a Nohel Prize, in 1923, Uncle Charles was back in Huron. The drug gave him 20 more years of life.
Needless to say, this family history was appealing to me.
When I was in my 20s, I returned home from college exhausted, and I went to see my doctor. He called the next day to tell me that I had type I diabetes. It was a shock, totally out of the blue. There was no known history of diabetes in my family.
For 20 years, I injected my insulin and took care of myself, but still I felt orphaned by my incomprehensible disease. Charles’s story changed that instantly.
As our story makes clear, scientists still don’t have answers for everything - far from it. No one will ever know what triggered the once-hidden vulnerability in my genes to surface. But I am grateful for the mysteries they have solved — and for my uncle Charles’s belated message across the generations that I wasn’t alone.
