26、   Celebrity (名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption (消费) on the interest of celebrity related to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential (潜力), moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.

Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon (现象), but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale (规模) rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.

However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer attraction. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to look like an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the attention dies down, consumer interest might decrease, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels.

Today, celebrities face even more serious embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame (名声) has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s (自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion-like celebrity-has always been temporary.

【1】Fashion magazines today ____________.

A.totally refuse to put models on the cover

B.rarely put models on the cover

C.need not worry about celebrities’ market potential

D.judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly

【2】A change in the consumer market can be found today that _____________.

A.price rather than brand name is more concerned

B.producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements

C.producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements

D.quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned

【3】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly__________.

A.shorten the artistic career of a celebrity in show business

B.damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public

C.decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products

D.influence the price of a celebrity’s products

【4】The passage is mainly about ___________.

A.celebrity and personal style B.celebrity and market potential

C.celebrity and fashion design D.celebrity and clothing industry

27、   Many Americans are busy preparing lists of what to give friends or loved ones. This season, people will be able to buy a cargo-carrying (载货) robot that follows them around like a dog. But it is unclear if the robot will be a popular gift.

Large companies like Amazon, FedEx and Ford have already been experimenting with sending delivery robots to homes across the United States. Now an Italian company is offering robots directly to consumers (顾客). The new robot, called “the Gita”, weighs about 23 kilograms and costs $ 3,250.

The robot's creators had short trips in mind when they designed it. “The Gita” is a “hands-free carrier" that can hold fruits, vegetables and other things as it follows its owner down the street. “The Gita” does not. require use of a telephone; it also does not use GPS technology or facial recognition.

Whether the robot will be a success is not yet clear. Tech experts say “the Gita” may fail. They hope the company finds more purposes of using it to contribute to its success. Examples include carrying tools around hospitals, factory floors or places where products are stored. The robots can carry up to 9 kilograms, So far, the best places to find the company' s six wheeled robot are US colleges: The University of Houston and the University of Wisconsin Madison.

Sadie Garcia is a student at the University of Houston. “I love them. I think they're so cute," she said, as one of the machines arrived carrying a sandwich for her in the dining hall. Garcia said she was so cold that she did not want to leave her room. Starship co-founder Ahti Heinla said his company once thought about selling the machines directly to consumers. But the business dropped the idea after discovering it would have to sell them for more than $ 3,000 each.

【1】What is"the Gita"designed to do?

A.Fight with other robots. B.Buy things for its owner.

C.Carry things for its owner. D.Help college students do homework.

【2】What do tech experts expect the company to do for“the Gita”?

A.Find more uses for it. B.Keep advertising it.

C.Improve its reaction rate. D.Encourage hospitals to use it.

【3】What stops“the Gita”from being sold directly to consumers?

A.The low quality. B.The high price.

C.The limited number. D.The poor performance.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A.A science magazine. B.A detective story.

C.A travel guide. D.A life diary.

28、   How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and Strong

Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.

【1】 Don’t hide things from them; don’t lie. Getting them to trust you is the most important element (要素) in any relationship. So please be honest and they’ll learn to open up to you.

Have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness. Laugh a lot with them, joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it’s the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. 【4】

Make sure the communication is good. This goes along with trust, but always communicate how you feel, even if it’s something that upsets you. Instead of screaming, talk to them. 【5】 It’s important to communicate this to them, not keep it bottled up.

29、   All eyes were on Jack Ma. The chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. left his position on Teachers’ Day from leading the e-commerce（电子商务） giant he founded 20 years ago.

“I still have lots of dreams to go after,” Ma wrote in an open letter last year to announce his parting. “The world is big, and I am still young, so I want to try new things.”

The 55-year-old businessman showed that he was ready for new things by arriving at his farewell party dressed up like a rock star.

In 1999, he founded Alibaba with a group of friends in a shared apartment, struggling for years to get it off the ground. With all the challenges, the company slowly brought e-commerce to China.

Although his success has inspired a number of Chinese tech businessmen, Ma pointed out that the key is having a dream. “It’s the dreams that keep us full of confidence and never afraid of setbacks（挫折）.” Ma said in a video posted on Sept 9.

Now the experienced businessman is looking to focus on education. What can he offer? “I’m not going to teach English; I’m not going to teach business, But I’m going to teach young people how to face challenges,” he told Bloomberg News.

Skilled sailors were never made on calm waters. As Ma said, “Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. But the day after tomorrow is beautiful.”
