the answer is there are still ways to deal with it. some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. they focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. they are tired of being famous already.21it can be learned from the passage that stars today .a. are often misunderstood by the public b. can no longer have their privacy protectedc. spend too much on their public appearance d. care little about how they have come into fameantz is a movie that shows young kids how to work as a team. it shows however small a part they may have, what matters most is the team outcome of that small-small effort they all put to make things happen. it tells them never ever to give up the dream and never ever to accept failure. it tells about an ant that is never known by its size but by its team.forrest gump tells a story of a boy who stands for friends and has a strong will power. he never throws his life for chance but makes the best out of it. this story will make your kids feel sure about themselves and their abilities, making them brave enough to stand up to any challenges.lion king is an american animated (动画的）musical adventure film produced by wall disney feature animation. the movie will show your kids the importance of having friends in ones life.dumbo will give your child wings to imagine without any boundaries. he doesnt have to be logical every time. he has to understand that its the mental strength rather than the physical strength that brings out the best out of everything. free for parents who come to see the film with their child.yas a parent we are always caring about our kids but sometimes its not helpful for their growth. finding nemo, an animated film produced by walt disney feature animation， shows us how to teach them to overcome their fear by trying things，failing and bouncing back again for the/ry.the director brings out the best of the characters in the movie toy story. the movie portrays the emotions of the toys. how beautifully the emotions like friendship，togetherness ，leadership，love，care and so on have turned up in this movie!25according to the text, the film forrest gump is aimed at improving the viewers _.a. teamwork b. self-confidence c. imagination d. friendship26how much do they have to pay if eight-year-old jason goes to see the film dumbo with his parents?a.$ 10.b. $ 20.c. $ 30.d. $ 45.27who are the main target audience of the movies mentioned in the text?a.parents.b. teachers.c. children.d. clerks.28what emotions have appeared in the film toy story except_?a. friendship b. love c. leadership d. generositycthey like using the internet. they have lots of pocket money to spend. and they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buygames, cds and clothingare easily sold on the web.but paying online is a troublesome business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. most have to use a parents card. they want a facility that allows them to spend money.that may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the atlantic. if successful, these products can stimulate online sales.in general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the us last year and 20bn annually in the uk. most teenagers have access to the internet at home or at school88 percent in the us, 69 percent in the uk. according to the jupiter research, one in eight of those with internet access has bought something onlinemainly cds and books.in most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing them to spend on the high street. they are more likely to ask “why?” if you ask to spend some money online.one way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as internetcash in the us and smart cards in the uk. similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.dhow do you design a pay plan that motivates people to do their best work? a new study by three harvard researchers suggests a novel answer: shortly after you hire new workers, give them a raise.previous research has shown that paying people more than they expect may elicit reciprocity(相互作用) in the form of greater productivity, notes deepak malhotra, a harvard business-administration professor who worked on the study. what he and his colleagues found, however, was that the connection between more pay and extra effort depends on presenting the increase as a giftthat is, as something youve chosen to do purely as a nice gesture, with no strings attached.malhotra and his team studied 267 people hired by odesk, a global online network of freelancers, to do a one-time data-entry project for four hours. all of the new hires were people in developing countries, for whom hourly wages of $3 and $4 were higher than what they had been making in previous jobs.the researchers split the group up into three equal parts. one group was told they would earn $3 an hour. a second group was initially hired at $3 an hour but, before they started working, they got a surprise: the budget for the project had expanded unexpectedly, they were told, and they would now be paid $4 an hour. the third group was offered $4 an hour from the start and given no increase.even though the second and third groups were eventually paid the same amount, the second group worked harder and produced moreabout 20% morethan either of the other two. people in the second group also showed the most stamina, maintaining their focus all the way through the assigned task and performing especially well toward the end of the four hours. interestingly, the more experienced employees in the high-performing group were the most productive of all, apparently because their previous work experience led them to appreciate the rarity of an unexpected raise.contrary to conventional wisdom, malhotra points out that higher pay, in and of itself, didnt promote productivity: people who made $4 an hour from the beginning worked no harder than those who were hired at $3 and were then paid $3. to get the most impact from their pay plans, he adds, companies might consider not only what to pay new hires, but when to pay it.the key thing is how you present the reason for an increase, he says. doling out extra money could promote productivity most if you make it clear that the pay raise is something youre choosing to do just because you can. our theory is that people will reciprocate. if you do something nice, theyll do something nice back. 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。（共5小题。每小题2分，满分10分。）how to avoid weight gain over holidaysdo you love the holidays, but hate the pounds that follow?
