People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting，and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated，and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜) before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘) .If the star was a bad guy，I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid，I did not hold back that information.

I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly，many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes，being famous is everything，even more desirable than being truly creative and talented.

Why do we need stars? In fact，the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲聊)．Over time，talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus，some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview— as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.

There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole，our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.

We make them stars，but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant，and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.

1.What are the stars like according to the author?

A．They always treat others rudely.

B．They always talk about something dull.

C．They are actually ordinary people.

D．They are usually honest and polite.

2.We worship stars because 　　　　　 .

A．we need true mental heroes to support us

B．we can learn something useful from famous stars

C．we concern about the stars，family and friends

D．we like talking about the stars' dressing styles

3.When the author is writing this article，his tone sounds 　　　　　 .

A．excited　　 B．angry　　 C．worried　　 D．calm

4.What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?

A．To show the disadvantages of working with stars.

B．To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.

C．To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.

D．To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.

We have to admit that many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have actually contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced and these are difficult to get rid of.

However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they take action to buy a product, they ask questions like these “Will this shampoo add damage to the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”

A recent study showed that two out of five adults now take the environmental safety of a product into account before they buy it. This means that companies must now adjust the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green” that is, friendly to the environment

Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds of them advocating green. In addition, some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have adopted the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products as their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.”　 The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

1.It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (动力) behind green products is

A. public caring for the environment　　 B. companies' desire for bigger sales

C. new ways of doing business　　 D. rapid growth of supermarkets

2.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Business and People　　 B. Business Goes Green

C. Shopping Habits Are Changing　　 D. Supermarkets and Green products

3.The underlined word "it” in the fourth paragraph refers to

A. a selling point　　 B. the company name

C. a great demand for health foods　　 D. the manufacturing of green products
