I was struck by her talent, fresh charm and innocence the moment I caught sight of her. She was, and remains, a gifted actress and a good human being.‎ It is not for me to judge Ms Lohan's choices, or whether fame has been less than kind to her, but I have been greatly saddened by the way the media have chosen, with all gloves off and seemingly going with what could please them, to record her efforts and failures. She is a sentient (能感知事物的) human being, not a thing, not a product, not anything else to be sold.‎ Charles McGrath makes several attractive points in his news analysis about the public demand which is impossible to satisfy, in a 24/7 news cycle forever changed by the Internet, to gossip about, and give nearly complete access to, celebrity or famous persons' lives. Perhaps people do feel better knowing that wealth and fame do not lead to a perfect life for everyone. Perhaps we admire famous people only to reject them without any pity or mercy when their behavior disappoints us.‎ I find it ironic (讽刺的) that Ms Lohan's decision to pose for Playboy for a monetary reward is considered to be morally questionable, while journalists and photographers gain profit by writing about and capturing images of her and other famous people.‎ Perhaps when reporting on and reading about famous people who have lost their way, we will remember that those people are also very human people who, like us, make mistakes, endure misfortune and have a chance—in spite of media coverage—to begin a completely new life tomorrow.‎ ILENE STARGER Brooklyn 文章大意：本文论述了公众与媒体应该对名人的“过失”持什么样的态度。‎ ‎1．What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?‎ A．Lindsay Lohan became an actress at the age of 11.‎ B．Lindsay Lohan is generally a good person.‎ C．Lindsay Lohan used to be a good woman.‎ D．Lindsay Lohan once starred in The Parent Trap.‎ 答案：B　主旨大意题。根据第一段“I was struck by her talent, fresh charm and innocence the moment I caught sight of her”可知，答案为B。‎ ‎2．This letter was written mainly to tell the editor that ________.‎ A．the public should bear famous people's mistakes B．the public should be especially strict with famous people C．the media shouldn't only satisfy the public's demands D．nobody can get both wealth and fame at the same time 答案：A　推理判断题。根据第二段“It is not for me to judge Ms Lohan's choices... to record her efforts and failures”和第三段“Perhaps we admire famous people... when their behavior disappoints us”可推断，答案为A。‎ ‎3．What can we infer from the passage?‎ A．Why a Fallen Angel Is a Centerfold was not received well by the public.‎ B．Charles McGrath believes wealth and fame can't give a perfect life to anyone.‎ C．Many people as well as the media show much mercy to Lindsay Lohan.‎ D．Charles McGrath is the author of Why a Fallen Angel Is a Centerfold.‎ 答案：D　推理判断题。根据第一段“Re Why a Fallen Angle Is a Centerfold (Sunday Review, Nov. 6)”和第三段“Charles McGrath makes several seemingly attractive points in his news analysis...”可推断，答案为D。‎ ‎4．What happened to Lindsay Lohan according to the passage?‎ A．She made Charles McGrath angry as she didn't respect him.‎ B．She refused the director's invitation to star in a movie.‎ C．She made money in a way considered to be a little shameful.‎ D．She has not been so innocent or lovely as she was before.‎ 答案：C　细节理解题。根据第四段“I find it ironic(讽刺的) that Ms Lohan's decision to pose for Playboy for monetary reward is considered to be morally questionable...”可知，答案为C。‎ ‎5．According to the author, the media should ________.‎ A．lead the public to make honest money B．respect the public's choice in their personal life C．consider famous people to be ordinary people D．make money only by writing reports 答案：C　推理判断题。根据末段“... those people are also very human people who, like us, make mistakes... to begin a completely new life tomorrow”可推断，答案为C。‎ Ⅲ.七选五 ‎(2013·长春市一调)‎ How to treat your guests at a dinner party Almost everyone has attended a dinner party where they felt awkward. __1__ Prevent unpleasant party situations for your guests with these useful tips and find out how to treat your guests at a dinner party.‎ As guests arrive, greet them at the door saying Hello and ask how they are. __2__ If there is a wine table, show them to the table and allow them to mix with other guests.‎ If a guest arrives who doesn't know the majority of the people in the room, announce his presence and introduce him to everyone. __3__‎ Be modest about your food even if the food is great.

Different students have different opinions.‎ Some students think that money is so important that we couldn't survive without money.‎ ‎ Besides, money can help us to solve many problems in life. In addition, it is money that allows us to live a comfortable life.‎ Others, however, have opposite opinion. They think money doesn't mean everything. For example, money cannot buy happiness or health. If we attach too much importance to money, we cannot find the real meaning of life, and nor can we find pleasure in life.‎ Personally, we should not regard money as everything. Money is just a tool that helps us to get what we need. We should use it wisely and properly. Only in this way can we enjoy life to the fullest
