But dont worry. Theyre not mad. Its all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day.Founded in 1985 by two British comedians, the aim of the event is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa. Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows. For example, UK Prime Minister David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event.Britons dont just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year, but they do it all year round. One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops. These small shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop except that its all secondhand.There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK. Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they dont want anymore can donate them to a charity shop, where they are checked for damage, cleaned and priced. The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant, but for shoppers who have less spending money, it has been a welcome option. Now, shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion. “You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price. It doesnt bother me that other people may have worn them, I simply wash them before I wear them,” said Anne Marie, a 19-year-old from the US.So next time you spot a charity shop, why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds. Even better, you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause. 1. Why did Cameron appear in One Directions music video?A. To earn a living.B. To support the band.C. To help raising money.D. To entertain the audience.2. Where are the goods of charity shops from?A.

They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebritiesfamous peopleworry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time，” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century BC, painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his soldout readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain(抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about filmstars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? 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.63It can be learned from the passage that stars today _A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame64What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Wellknown actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.65What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.66What is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere. B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.【要点综述】 本文主要论述名人的烦恼，涉及名人的压力、与世界的隔离、历史由来、现在的状况，最后提出了解决名人烦恼的办法。63B 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，名人几乎难有隐私。所以选B。64B 段落大意题。第三段主要讲名人烦恼的历史由来。所以选B。65A 细节理解题。根据第四段cameras、the Internet等可知选A。66D 观点态度题。作者对于名人的压力、存在状况是非常同情的。所以选D。sincere真挚的；sceptical怀疑的；disapproving不赞成的；sympathetic同情的。【2013】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the programs founder, said：“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, weve secured internships (实习) with worldfamous firms such as Honda.“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛)The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didnt quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didnt stop; it was amazing，” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.

Research has shown that writing a personal diary and other forms of expressive writing is a great way to reduce emotional stress and just feel better, said the studys lead author, Meyran Boniel-Nissim, PhD, of the University of Haifa, Israel.Teens are online anyway, so blogging enables free expression and easy communication with others.Blogging has a stronger positive effect on troubled students well-being than merely expressing their social anxieties and concerns in a private diary, according to the article published online in the APA journal Psychological Services.Opening the blog up to comments from the online community strengthens those effects.The researchers randomly surveyed high school students in Israel,who had agreed to fill out a questionnaire about their feelings on the quality of their social relationships. A total of 161 students - 124 girls and 37 boys, with an average age of 15 - were selected because their scores on the survey showed they all had some level of social anxiety or stress. All the teens reported difficulty in making friends or relating to the friends they had. The researchers assessed the teens self-esteem, everyday social activities and behaviors before, immediately after and two months after the 10-week experiment.Four groups of students were assigned to blog. Two of those groups were told to focus their posts on their social problems, with one group opening the posts to comments; the other two groups could write about whatever they wanted and, again, one group opened the blog up to comments. The number and content of comments were not evaluated for this experiment. The students could respond to comments but that was not required. Two more groups acted as controlseither writing a private diary about their social problems or doing nothing. Participants in the writing and blogging groups were told to post messages at least twice a week for 10 weeks.Four experts, who held masters or doctoral degrees in consulting and psychology, assessed the bloggers social and emotional condition by way of their blog posts. Students were assessed as having a poor social and emotional state if they wrote a lot about personal problems or bad relationships or showed evidence of low self-esteem.Self-esteem, social anxiety, emotional stress and the number of positive social behaviors improved significantly for the bloggers when compared to the teens who did nothing and those who wrote private diaries.Bloggers who were instructed to write specifically about their difficulties and whose blogs were open to comments improved the most. All of these results agreed with the two month follow-up.The authors admitted that the skewed（有偏向的）sex rate was a limitation to the study. However, the researchers analyzed the results separately by sex and found that boys and girls reacted similarly to the experiment and there were no major differences. They said future research should attempt to control the subjects for sex.50The selection of students for the experiment was largely based on. Atheir social relationships Btheir self-esteem Ctheir problems in social lifeDtheir willingness to fill out a question naire51Whats the function of“controls” (Paragraph 4) in the experiment? ATo write down some social problems in a private diary. BTo post messages to the blog and respond to comments. CTo help evaluate the number and content of blog comments. DTo offer a comparison for checking the experimental result.52From the experiment we can know that. Awriting private diaries makes no difference to the relief of ones emotional stress Bteenagers opening their blogs up to comments have more psychological benefits Cthe positive effects of expressing ones emotions by blogging dont last very long Dthose describing bad relationships on blogs tend to develop more mental problems53What can be inferred from the last paragraph? AThe authors insisted that all the research findings were accurate. BSexrate had been taken into account before the survey was conducted. CThe authors were intended to improve the experiment in the future. DSimilar reactions of boys and girls indicated the failure of the experiment.54What is the main idea of thepassage? ABlogging can help reduce social stress and anxiety. BThe research into blogging attracts public attention. CBlogging provides a simple way for communication. DBlog comments have a positive effect on teenagers.【参考答案】79.CDBCA 社会生活类 As students and teachers returned to school on Monday after the publication of performance ratings(等级) for 18,000 teachers, many parents said they were giving the reports serious thought. Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that tests cores have any relationship with teachers competence.Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their childrens progress. “Im the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,” a father in Queens said.Others worried about how their fellow parents, perhaps ones with sharper elbows, might respond.Will they demand a new teacher? Move their children to a new school?Elizabeth Sane, the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School, a kinder garten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side, said that her daughter was switched to a different teachers class over the summer, and that it was “like adding salt to the wound” when she saw the high ratings for her daughters previous teacher. Her daughters teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high school.Ms. Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teachers performance, but that
