I wasn’t surprised when I read that actress Helen Hunt recently stated that she would never allow her young daughter to become a child star. Ms Hunt is the daughter of a Hollywood technical director, and grew up in Hollywood. Now in her late 40s, she started acting and modeling when she was eight and has probably seen a lot over those years in show business.
She has had a successful career. She earned four Golden Globes and four Emmys. She also attained the top honor of her profession when she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1992 movie, As Good As It Gets. Given those accolades, Ms Hunt is successful. There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career. Given those achievements, why would this star declare she’ll never allow her daughter, now at the age of six, to follow in her footsteps?
Everyone familiar with the entertainment scene is aware of the reasons for her attitude. Recent tabloid (小报) news headlines featuring the troubles of former child stars, among them Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the late Gary Coleman, may answer the question. Although Ms Hunt managed to become a successful grown-up star, she apparently believes she’s an exception.
What Ms Hunt may be suggesting is that many very young stars go through unnatural childhoods on movie and TV sets. While they’re earning big incomes, they’re so pampered (纵容) by directors and praised by fans; they may get false impressions that their lives will always be that way. Then, within a few years, when faced with reality, they’re hurt and confused. After all the overwhelming affection, they find they can’t deal with the problems. That’s often when drugs and alcohol take over their lives.
Helen Hunt has some other reasons why she doesn’t want her daughter to be in the entertainment business. Many child stars can never make a successful transition to meaningful adulthood. However, as with many Hollywood movies, I believe there are both good and bad scenes about how it can be played out in real life.
小题1:According to the passage, Ms Hunt _________.
A.started acting and modeling when she was a little girl
B.has been acting for about 30 years
C.is the daughter of a famous actor
D.started singing when she was eight
小题2:The underlined word “accolades” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.
A.difficultiesB.awardsC.salariesD.opinions
小题3:The author thinks Helen Hunt’s success is mainly due to _________.
A.her hard workB.the help of a technicaldirector
C.her experiences as a child starD.her talent and good luck
小题4:Helen Hunt wouldn’t allow her daughter to become a child star because she thinks _________.
A.child stars often take drugs and alcohol
B.being a child star may ruin her future
C.child stars aren’t able to solve their problems
D.it is difficult to succeed as a child actor
小题5:From the passage we can conclude that _________.
A.few child stars will succeed in the future
B.there is no way to save the entertainment business
C.the author has a different opinion about child stars
D.meaningful adulthood only belongs to non-child stars

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in (旁听生)   for another l8 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unmarried college graduate student, and she decided to, put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course. " My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers, She only gave in a few months later when my parents promised that would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I artlessly chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and ail of my working class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the $ 5 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
小题1:From the passage we know that the author          .
A.was adopted by a lawyer and his wife
B.dropped out when he was 17 years old
C.The author was admitted to Stanford
D.valued his dropping out

A.His academic performance was very poor.
B.He did not want to waste his parents' money.
C.His parents were too poor to afford the college tuition.
D.He didn't think university could help him to get a well-paid job
小题3:Why did the author think dropping out was a good decision?
A.He could transfer to Stanford.
B.He could follow his passion.
C.He didn't have to attend classes any more.
D.He could spend more time in Hare Krishna temple.
小题4:What can be inferred from this passage ?

B.The author enjoyed the comfort and pleasure of life after he dropped out.
C.The author's parents were very angry at his decision.

A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?”
But the doctor knew that her family was well­off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.
小题1:If you’re a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to attend to?
A.Patients with a lot of money.
B.Patients suffering from cancer.
C.Patients without many days left.
D.Patients living alone.
小题2:What can we learn from the passage?
A.The doctor told the old man the truth.
B.The old man’s children were wealthy.
C.The girl’s father encouraged her to accept the money.
D.The girl didn’t accompany the old man when he died.
小题3:What is the real reason resulting in the old man’s mental improvement?
A.The girl’s love and great care.
B.The pleasure of helping people in need.
C.The doctor’s medical treatment.
