Rich and Famous

Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today’s situation is quite different. 1. Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, a pop star, or an actor—in other words, they hope to become a celebrity .

According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. 2. Let’s take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes’ best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they’ll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. 3.The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.

In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living—they want to be rich and famous. Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.4.They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.

While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. 5. That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won’t realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.

A. In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.

B. People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.

C. Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.

. The younger generation don’t favor these professions any more.

E. Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people’s life.

F. The reason is that they don’t realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.

G. This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.

    In the future those who are taking care of old people may get help from the house itself.

Over the last few years, new technology, such as the Internet, Wi-Fi and flat TV screens, has changed our homes and the way that we live. Now, another technology revolution is happening. A new project at the University of Hertfordshire wants to create a home that monitors people living in it who are elderly.

The researchers have developed a wristband device(装置)which helps us to watch the elderly person who is wearing it. The device collects information to see if the person has fallen or has wandered away from where he or she should be.

The assisted-living project is part of the university’s wider Interhome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house remembers the habits of the person who lives there and it uses very low amounts of energy. The Interhome team hope that offering this service will help take care of the elderly. They say, “It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support and not replace any of the existing services.”

The Interhome is not just a research method. It’s also a way for students from different scientific backgrounds to learn and develop technology. The university uses the latest technology to help students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. The team includes design, engineering and computer science students working together.

“We are working on a smart-home project in Watford with some companies at the moment,” says the project leader. “We are looking at how a smart home can provide even more services.” This could help millions of old people around the world have a better and safer life in the future.

1.The wristband device benefits its users by       .

A.changing the living habits of the elderly

B.monitoring people who live in a smart home

C.offering information to the person wearing it

D.watching over the elderly who may fall or get lost

2.Whom does the University of Hertfordshire have in its research team?

A.Students who want to find a job eagerly.

B.Students who prefer to work on their own.

C.Students from different scientific backgrounds.

D.Students with a lot of rich working experience.

3.What is the project leader’s attitude towards the future of the smart home project?

A.Uncertain. B.Uninterested.

C.Optimistic. D.Disappointed.

4.What might be the main idea of the passage?

A.A wristband device has changed the way that we live.

B.A smart home helps students develop hardware and software.

C.An Interhome project has been put into use to help the elderly.

D.An Interhome project will help the old live a better and safer life.

    As the proverb goesman struggles upwardswater flows downwardsWater runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceansBut downhill isn't the only way that water movesA new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumptionThis flow isn't the type we usually think aboutThese scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exportsThey call this a flow of “virtual water”

We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tapHowever92% of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen HoekstraHe recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meatsThese products are shipped around the world

For example, consider a sugary soft drinkHoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water-about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients. Another 4% goes into the packaging and labelingIn Hoekstra's calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroadit exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator

According to Hoekstra's new report, dry countries like Israel and Kuwait, both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countriesthrough imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries, like the Netherlands and the United Kingdomalso get the majority of their virtual water from other placesThat means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries

1.The underlined proverb in Paragraph 1 is used to       

A.inspire readers to struggle upward B.tell a law of nature

C.introduce the topic of the passage D.summarize the main idea of the passage

2.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside

    “Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion. “I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that, my adventure started.

My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing exchange year in Hungary.

Going on an exchange had always been my dream. When my high school offered an all-year programI jumped at the opportunity. It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was get a plane ticket. I knew where I wanted to go: Spain, the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses. So when I heard that I was going to Hungary, I was pretty shocked. But I decided to make the best of it, since it wasafter all, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Before I knew it, I was on the airplane, leaving for Budapest International Airport, Hungary.

I had times when I almost gave up. Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet. Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peer teens and me. I had to give up eating carrots, my beautiful favorite, for they think carrots are rubbish in their country. The change in the landscape was amazing, looking nothing like skyscrapers, bullet trains, carsand people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to. Gradually, I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle, the warm-hearted people, and getting home at 230 p. m. at the latest from school. And I was sad to leave on my very last day.

Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I have ever experienced. From my little sisters, I learned how to embrace life to its fullest. From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house. From my host parents I learned to stay positive, to smile, and that when you pick the right persons and take their hands, suddenly, you become friends.

1.How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?

A.Excited and satisfied. B.Confused and shocked.

C.Amazed and embarrassed. D.Delighted and interested.

2.Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?

A.He didn’t like Spain. B.He wanted to learn Hungarian.

C.It was a rare chance. D.Going to Hungary was much cheaper.

3.What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?

A.He fell in love with eating carrots. B.He couldn’t wait to leave.

C.He was surprised by the landscape. D.He quickly got used to the life there.

4.According to Jonathan, the host family________.

A.changed him completely B.taught him how to dance well

C.treated him as equally as a student D.showed him the good things of life
