His mom had asked him what he wanted as a gift this year. Marty thought about it for the past few weeks maybe a new bicycle, a camera, a basketball, or a telescope. He told his mom that any of those gifts would be great.Martys parents talked about the list of gifts one night after Marty went to sleep. Dad said, “I think Marty will just get tired of the basketball, and he doesnt take many pictures.” Mom said, “We just bought him a new bicycle last Christmas.”“I think we should get Marty the telescope,” said Dad. “Hes so interested in space and the planets.”“Sounds good,” said Mom. Dad stopped by a store the next day after work and picked out a telescope. He waited until Marty was asleep and brought the telescope from his car into the house.“Wow! This is wonderful.” said Martys mom. “Now where are we going to hide it until Sunday?” “ Why not put it in the study? Marty wont find it there.”Sunday morning came.

Many young people talk about celebrities like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus or Rihanna as their heroes.Yet, in the past, heroes were different. They were people we admired (崇拜) for noble achievements. They were people who sacrificed (牺牲) themselves for a higher purpose, to save other people or to support an ideal.Martin Luther King is an American hero because of his contribution (贡献) to the Civil Rights Movement. But what has Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus done for humanity?Real heroes have inspired (鼓舞) people to make sacrifices in order to achieve something valuable, or to the good to society. Do celebrities inspire us to do great things? Some people who have no special talent have become celebrities and achieved fame with no sacrifice at all. Yet they inspire respect in teenagers. Other celebrities like Janet Jackson or Paris Hilton are famous because they are related to famous people. What about models like Naomi Campbell or Kate Moss? What contribution to society have they made to get the attention they receive? Perhaps we actually care more about fame than creative talent or noble achievements.People seem to be terribly interested in the lives of celebrities. Some say this is because its human nature to talk about other peoples personal life behind. Are our lives so boring and uninteresting that we need glamorous celebrities to brighten them up? Maybe we simply need someone to look up to. Do we admire these people because they have achieved success that we havent? Do we admire the fame, wealth and status that we dont have? Are these the things we should admire a person for?Why do we admire celebrities so? Perhaps it is because there are not real traditional heroes anymore and celebrities are the next best thing.54. Who is a hero according to the writer ?A.Miley Cyrus B. Martin Luther King C. Kate Moss D. Paris Hilton55. Why does the writer talk about Janet Jackson as a celebrity? A.To show an example of a kind of celebrity. B. To explain the contribution of a celebrity.C.To express the writers love for her. D. To lead in the topic of a celebrity.56.

Celebrities are not traditional heroes.七.阅读短文，根据上下文意思，将方框中的句子还原到短文中的适当位置，使其通顺完整，并将其字母代号写在横线上，其中有一句不选。(共4分，每小题分)How to Make Eskimo CookiesWhen I was a little girl, I made the great food called Eskimo Cookies.
